Traditional Use
Jojoba, native to the American Southwest and used by indigenous communities for skincare and healing, became commercially valued in the 1970s as a jojoba oil alternative. Hydrolyzed jojoba protein was created in contemporary skincare to isolate and concentrate the plant's protein fraction for conditioning benefits.
