One of the most popular ingredients within the skincare and cosmetics industry, Jojoba Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis plant. The aroma of this oil is very mild and waxy, having very few noteworthy qualities beyond its own neutrality. Jojoba was originally introduced into the world of cosmetics as an alternative to sperm whale oil during the early 1970s, when the US started banning all whale oil related products. However, the oil immediately found a variety of uses due to its immense stability, making it a popular addition to skin lotions, makeup removers, and lip balms.
