Jojoba oil is one of the most recognizable ingredients used in skincare today, derived primarily from a shrub in the Southwest United States and Mexico.

Native Americans have historically used jojoba oil for some uses, including wounds and keeping skin looking young and fresh.

The oil pressed from the seeds of this shrub has a very similar chemistry to the oils our bodies create, making it very compatible with most skin types. However, until recently, jojoba oil was not commonly used in cosmetics.

Today, it is one of the best moisturizing ingredients for any skincare routine.

The Native Americans used this oil primarily to treat cuts and scratches on the skin. Jojoba oil is a natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent, meaning that it can clean and sanitize the skin without causing undue irritation.
