Although Jojoba has been used for thousands of years by indigenous tribes, it became popular in our culture in the 1970′s when whaling was banned. Apparently, Jojoba has very similar properties to the prized oil of sperm whales.
There is a lot of misinformation about Jojoba in aromatherapy. Many people believe that it will clog your pores. And I must admit I was quite confused, and avoided working with Jojoba until I did my own research on the subject. What I found out is this. Like everything else out there, there are several different grades of Jojoba. The first pressing, and the best grade is Golden Jojoba. It is so named because it is naturally golden in color. This first pressing of the Jojoba bean will not clog your pores. However, many in the industry will then, through solvent extraction, take those same beans and extract the remaining residue of Jojoba. Often this residue will then be processed further and bleached. Of course when this occurs, all of the healing properties are also removed and yes, processed Jojoba will clog your pores. Sometimes yellow colorant will be added back into the product to make it look like the real deal. So Buyer Beware! Know your supplier! Golden Jojoba is more expensive than processed Jojoba, so as the adage says, You Get What You Pay For!
Golden Jojoba carrier is high in Vitamin E and has the same Ph as our skin. It helps to balance our sebum (regulates dryness or oiliness of skin), and is great moisturizer. It is also known to have beneficial effects on our collagen, general skin health and to clear blemishes and acne. It’s good for all skin types, but especially, aging, mature skin, for it helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Aside from Vitamin E, Golden Jojoba contains proteins, minerals and myristic acid which is an anti-inflammatory. Golden Jojoba’s moisturizing properties are also beneficial for our hair, helping to repair split ends and tangles.
Because Golden Jojoba is not really an oil, but rather a wax, it has the added advantage of not staining fabric. It penetrates skin quickly and feels smooth and silky, and non-greasy when applied. And yes, it will stay fresh a long time; up to two years. I use Golden Jojoba in all my everyday aromatherapy formulas, because I feel confident my products will not go rancid before or after they are purchased.
