When creating the perfect body butter formula, our number one priority was picking the best quality ingredients that are highly nourishing to the skin, while keeping in mind that “less is more.” One of our key ingredients is jojoba oil. It’s one of those carrier oils that offer so many benefits for the skin; once you introduce it into your beauty routine, you won’t go back!
What is Jojoba Oil?
Jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant, a shrub native to the southwestern United States. It has been used in cosmetics and beauty products since the 1970s. This versatile oil boasts numerous uses and benefits for skin, hair, and nails.
Long-Lasting Moisture
Unlike water-based moisturizers, jojoba oil doesn’t evaporate. Instead, it absorbs into the skin and actually does what a moisturizer is supposed to do – nourish and hydrate your skin! Another reason why we love it so much is that a little bit goes a long way. It doesn’t feel heavy, but you can definitely see and feel the difference it makes on your skin.
Perfect Hydrator
It’s crucial to drink plenty of water to keep your body moisturized, but the right skincare products help to further keep your skin supple and youthful. Jojoba oil is deeply hydrating, while being light and easily absorbed into the skin. Hello, healthy glow!
Anti-Aging
While aging is a part of life, why not delay and reduce the appearance for as long as we can? Jojoba oil can help with that by fading fine lines and wrinkles with consistent use.
Ideal for All Skin Types
Though jojoba oil is a powerful miracle oil, it is also very gentle and friendly for all skin types. It’s awesome for acne-prone skin, as it balances oil production without promoting acne and other skin issues, and naturally has antibacterial properties. If you have dry skin prone to redness and chapping, the Vitamins E and B-complex vitamins in jojoba oil can promote repair. Folks with eczema and rosacea have found that jojoba oil assists in calming their skin.
Sunburn Friendly
It’s hard to not have some fun in the sun during the summer – sometimes a little too much fun. As you know, it’s essential to protect your skin with a non-toxic sunscreen. But if you’ve spent a little too much time outdoors and manage to get a sunburn, you’ll be relieved to know that jojoba oil can come to the rescue to soothe sunburns and help reduce the chances of peeling.
It’s never too late to strive for healthy, glowing skin. Don’t just take our word for it – see what jojoba oil can do for your skin by trying our whipped body butter which also has other skin-loving ingredients like avocado butter, mango butter, and meadowfoam seed oil. You can thank us later!
