Is Jojoba Seed Oil Faithful to Nature?

Depends.

Production: How is Jojoba Seed Oil Made?

Jojoba Oil is made by cold-pressing the acorn-like seeds of the Jojoba plant. The raw, liquid wax is then filtered to remove any remaining solid material. The golden Jojoba Oil may then be further refined (deodorised and decolourised) resulting in a transparent, colourless and odourless oil.

Jojoba seed oil has been shown to stimulate skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes, which stimulate collagen production and speed up the natural healing process. This also helps to keep skin smooth, supple and ageless.
