Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil description

_Simmondsia chinensis_ (jojoba) seed oil is a non-fragrant emollient extracted from the seeds of a perennial shrub. It has been shown to enhance skin’s restorative properties and can also provide topical skin-soothing benefits. Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil is a rich source of numerous fatty acids and antioxidants. The texture of _Simmondsia chinensis_ (jojoba) seed oil is similar to the sebum (oil) human skin produces, which makes it a brilliant ingredient for dry skin but potentially problematic for those with oily skin prone to clogged pores and breakouts. The molecular size of jojoba seed oil lets it penetrate the pore lining where it can mix with skin’s own oil and potentially lead to or worsen clogs. Jojoba wax is considered more of an issue for breakout-prone skin than jojoba oil due to the more solidifying nature of wax. _Simmondsia chinensis_ (jojoba) seed oil has the distinction of feeling lighter and less greasy than many other oils, particularly highly saturated oils such as coconut. It is one of the more stable plant oils in use today. Unlike many other plant-derived oils, jojoba seed oil is considered inedible due to a component known as simmondsin which interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food. Note that this effect occurs via an interaction with digestive chemicals in the intestines, not via topical absorption since it is metabolized within skin. Simmondsin is largely responsible for the soothing properties jojoba oil has on skin.
