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.

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.

This castor oil is 100% plant-based and organic and is carefully made from seeds of the green fruits from the wonder tree: the Ricinus Communis. The tree is cultivated in India, East Africa and the southeastern region of the Mediterranean Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes castor oil so special is that it consists of about 85 to 90% ricinoleic acid. This is a unique fatty acid that occurs in virtually no other plant oil. It gives the oil its thick, viscous texture and its reputation for richly nourishing and enveloping skin, hair, eyelashes and eyebrows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Castor Oil for your hair?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor Oil is the oil to give your hair the ultimate care. Castor Oil makes damaged and dull hair (from for example dyeing, blow-drying and styling) grow longer and healthier, giving you beautiful and shiny hair again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply a little oil to your hands and distribute it through lightly damp hair and on the scalp. Let the oil work for a few hours and then wash the hair with your usual shampoo. Castor Oil is a full and thick oil and can sometimes be difficult to wash out of the hair. Therefore it is advisable to dilute the oil with a lighter oil such as almond oil or coconut oil. You can apply the oil to your hair several times a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Castor Oil for eyelashes and eyebrows?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor Oil is a popular natural remedy for eyelashes and eyebrows, but apply it wisely. Pure castor oil is too thick and viscous for the fine hairs, and mainly stays as a film layer on the outside. Therefore always dilute the oil with a lighter oil such as jojoba oil or argan oil, in a ratio of about 1 to 3. This way the hairs are nourished, shiny and fuller in appearance, without becoming too heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor convenience, apply the mixture to an old mascara brush or cotton swab, so you can distribute the oil evenly over the eyelashes and eyebrows. You can use the oil daily. Be careful that the oil doesn't get into your eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Castor Oil for your skin?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor Oil has a special role in skincare. Due to its thick structure it stays on the skin for a long time and forms a protective layer that prevents moisture loss. But what makes castor oil really special is that it actually works very well for oily or combination skin. That sounds contradictory, but the ricinoleic acid has a light cleansing effect and helps dissolve excess sebum, without drying out the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore castor oil is an ideal ingredient in an oil cleanser. According to the oil cleansing principle, oil dissolves sebum, not water. A mixture of about 20 to 30% castor oil with 70 to 80% lighter oil such as jojoba oil or sweet almond oil cleanses the skin thoroughly without disrupting the natural skin barrier. Massage the mixture into dry skin, place a warm washcloth on it and wipe off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Castor Oil for your beard?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor Oil nourishes the beard like no other.

In this process, the lemon peels are mechanically compressed, causing the oil glands in the peel to burst open and release the essential oil.

These natural components are responsible for both the recognizable scent and the oil's properties on skin and mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet Orange is one of the few essential oils that almost everyone finds pleasant to smell.

This oil is then separated from the juice and aqueous components. Because no heat is involved, the natural aroma molecules are optimally preserved. That's also why cold-pressed citrus oils smell so fresh and vibrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange oil is often a byproduct of the juice industry.
