The scent is fresh, fruity and floral, with a light spicy undertone. It is a classic top note in Eau de Cologne and the scent maker of Earl Grey tea. The Latin name is \u003cem\u003eCitrus Bergamia\u003c\/em\u003e, and the oil is extracted from the peel of the bergamot fruit, a green citrus fruit in the shape of a pear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis oil naturally contains linalool, linalyl acetate, limonene and bergapten. These natural components are responsible for the recognizable aroma, the calming effect on mood and the properties on the skin.

In this process, the bergamot peels are mechanically compressed, causing the oil glands in the peel to burst and release the essential oil. Because no heat is involved, the natural aroma molecules are optimally preserved. That's why cold-pressed citrus oils smell so vibrant and complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe downside of cold pressing is that the heavier, non-volatile molecules also come along.

The oil is extracted from the seeds of the jojoba shrub (Simmondsia chinensis), which primarily grows in the arid regions of the southwestern United States and Mexico. The name is actually somewhat misleading, because jojoba oil is technically not an oil but a liquid wax. This gives it a completely different composition than other plant oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is Jojoba Oil made?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seeds of the jojoba shrub are harvested and cold-pressed. With cold-pressed oil, no heat above 30 degrees is used during pressing, which keeps the natural composition completely intact. After that, the oil is filtered and ready for use. Refined jojoba oil is clear and colorless, while the unrefined variant has a golden-yellow color and a light, nutty scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is Jojoba Oil so special?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJojoba Oil consists largely of long wax esters (especially eicosenoic acid and docosenoic acid esters) instead of regular triglycerides like other oils. This composition remarkably resembles the sebum that our own skin produces. Therefore, jojoba oil is well tolerated by virtually every skin type and can help balance sebum production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to this low triglyceride content, jojoba oil also has exceptional shelf life and barely oxidizes. That's why it's often added to other, more sensitive oils to extend their shelf life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDoes Jojoba Oil solidify in the cold?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it can, and that's completely normal. Jojoba Oil gradually solidifies at temperatures below approximately 10 to 15 degrees. You'll first see cloudy wisps form, and in real cold the entire bottle can become thick and white. This is simply part of this oil and has nothing to do with quality. Let the bottle reach room temperature or warm it between your hands, and the oil will naturally become clear and liquid again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of Jojoba Oil for your skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for every skin type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDue to the sebum-like composition, jojoba oil is well tolerated by virtually every skin type, from dry to oily and combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHelps balance sebum production\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause jojoba oil so closely resembles the body's own sebum, it can help signal to the skin that there's enough sebum.
