Benefits of Jojoba Oil
What is Jojoba Oil?
Jojoba oil is actually classified as a liquid wax and is extracted from the seed of the plant, Simmondsia chinensis; a shrub native to the Southwest United States. This shelf-stable oil is similar to vegetable oil and contains vitamin E, phospholipids and wax esters. Jojoba Oil was used by Native Americans for many different purposes like as a conditioner, moisturizer and as a caffeine-like substance. Currently, this wax is used in many different cosmetics and is especially beneficial for damaged hair strands.
