This oil is actually a liquid wax (which means it won't go rancid)! Known as the "skin's twin" in skin-care circles (it is very similar in structure to our skin's natural sebum), Jojoba is excellent for all skin types, but most especially for eczema and psoriasis. It is easily absorbed by the skin and has a non-oily, softening effect (it can help to soften and unclog pores when used as a facial massage medium). It contains protein, minerals, plant wax and myristic acid (which also has anti-inflammatory actions). It is not a nut base oil. May be used as a base or a 10% dilution.
