Functions

Cleansing

Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.

Emulsifying

Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.

Locks in moisture

Controls excess oil

Traditional Use

Jojoba oil has been used by indigenous peoples of the Sonoran Desert for skin and hair conditioning for centuries. This synthetic derivative was developed to provide enhanced water-solubility while maintaining jojoba's traditional skin-conditioning properties.
