Jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds of the jojoba bush that grows wild in the Amazon and in the desert areas of Mexico and California. The seeds provide about 50% oil which is actually a liquid wax. The Indians have used the oil for cooking, cosmetics and medicine. Jojoba oil normalizes the skin's sebum content and is therefore useful for both oily and dry skin. It has a good effect on wounds, cracked and dry skin. Jojoba oil makes the skin smooth and soft.
