Jojoba Oil

Distil's Jojoba oil is a liquid wax extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant and is structurally and chemically very similar to the human sebum produced by the sebaceous glands in our skin. It is non-greasy, easily absorbed into the skin as it nourishes, lubricates, and softens. Good for all skin types. Jojoba oil is an antioxidant and protects you from the damaging effects of free radicals, which is believed to contribute or cause various chronic diseases like cancer. Most bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus and the fungus Candida albicans cannot reproduce and die when they come into contact with jojoba oil. In fact, it is so antibacterial that it can be used as a fungicide to control mildew. Jojoba is a good choice for use with those that have oily or acne prone skin. It is said to act as a natural anti-inflammatory and is a good choice for use in massage and for inflamed skin. It will not clog pores and can be used as a face rub and for promoting healthy and clear skin.
