Golden Jojoba Oil in reality is not an oil but a liquid wax, and is pronounced "ho-ho-ba", it only became important in the 1970s when whaling was banned, since jojoba oil which is derived from the jojoba bean, has almost the same properties as the oil obtained from the sperm whale. Since it is composed of wax esters, it is an extremely stable substance and does not easily deteriorate. The structure of jojoba oil closely resembles that of your own skin sebum, is an excellent moisturizer and is ideal for all skin types. It contains myristic acid which also has anti-inflammatory actions. It can in most cases be used on acne skin without any problems as it helps to control acne. It is easy to understand why this is an all-time favorite to use as a carrier, as well as added to skincare preparations, since it penetrates the skin easily and is suitable for all skin types. The aroma is light to medium, not as sweet as the nut oils.

When used as a massage medium, it acts as an emulsifier with the skins natural sebum and gently unclogs the pores and lifts grime and imbedded impurities. It can be used pure in massage, or can be mixed with other carriers, for use on the face, body, or hair. Great for mature, aging skin and wrinkles although good for all skin types. 

 Cautions - It is frequently blended in a small dilution (10%) with other carriers
