JOJOSKIN our 100% pure and natural jojoba oil (origin Israel, Argentina, and Peru) PH-neutral, suitable for all skin types anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle effect natural sun protection factor 10 Jojoba oil is 100% absorbed thanks to its exceptional quality and purity. Plant The jojoba shrub or bush belongs to the genus Simmondsia and the family Simmondsiaceae. It is an evergreen plant that grows in warm areas and can reach a height of between 0.5 and 2 meters. The jojoba shrub owes its good adaptability to dry areas to its deep taproot (up to 3 meters) and hairy leaves (hard foliage). The foliage is oval, alternate and dark green or yellowish (so-called albino species) in color. The bush bears elongated to oval fruits, which contain one to three seeds and can vary in size due to geographical conditions. The seed itself is only released when fully ripe and then has a wax content of up to 60% of its own weight. Watering the plant is not necessary, but can lead to increased yields. As it should not be watered during fruit development, the jojoba bush can also be cultivated with other citrus species (similar cultivation method). Another special feature of the jojoba plant is its high salt tolerance: this makes it possible to make unusable saline soils useful again. Origin, flowering time, harvest The jojoba shrub or bush belongs to the genus Simmondsia and the family Simmondsiaceae. It is an evergreen plant that grows in warm areas and reaches a height of The jojoba bush, like all hard-leaved plants, prefers warm and dry climates. In addition to its natural distribution in Mexico and the USA, the shrub is also cultivated in Israel, Argentina, Peru and Australia. On plantations, the shrubs are planted in hedge form, whereby a minimum ratio of 5:1 female and male plants must be ensured in order to guarantee sufficient pollination of the flowers. Depending on whether the plants have been pre-bred, the first yield can be expected after 3-5 years (optimum yield after approx. 7-12 years). After a normal flowering period in spring, mechanical harvesting takes place from August to October Application, effect The wax esters, a compound of fatty acid and fatty alcohol, give the oil its typical chemical properties. Long carbon chains (38-44 carbon atoms) at both ends of the ester are characteristic of this plant species. The oil therefore has a high melting point (only from approx. 7 degrees Celsius) and is resistant to chemical/enzymatic degradation (esters are difficult to break down). Jojoba oil therefore becomes rancid very slowly and can be kept for up to 25 years if stored correctly. Enzymatic degradation cannot take place in the digestive tract, which is why jojoba oil is sometimes praised for weight reduction or slimming diets; However, oral use is not recommended, as several studies have shown a pathological change in the blood count and internal organs. Although an improvement in the skin is often recognized, the endogenous parameters are not taken into account in most studies. In pharmacy, the oil is used to mask oxidation-sensitive substances, reduction diets and as an appetite suppressant. The chemical inertness of the ester is utilized here. It is also used to support the healing process in cases of inflammation (e.g. sunburn). Jojoba oil is quickly absorbed by the skin, leaving no greasy film and giving the skin a moisturizing effect. The skin becomes soft and supple, and additional strengthening of the connective tissue can be achieved. Jojoba oil has another advantage: it is hypoallergenic and can be used by all skin types. The cosmetics industry makes use of these effects and uses the oil in many body care products such as shampoos and lipsticks. In addition, the oil has a natural sun protection factor of approx. 4, which makes it suitable as an additive or even a base for sun creams. Chemical properties: JOJOSKIN® is 100 percent pure and natural, has a golden yellow color, is odourless and oxidation-free. It can be stored in a dry place protected from light for several years without the risk of decomposition. Its consistency is comparable to that of liquid wax. At an ambient temperature of 7°C or less, it changes to a solid state. When its container is placed in a lukewarm water bath, it returns to its liquid state without losing its properties. It is mainly composed of esters of unsaturated fatty acids and alcohol esters, but does not contain triglycerides. In addition to proteins and vitamin E, JOJOSKIN® naturally contains 96% ceramides, which envelop the cells of the dermis and regulate their natural moisturization. This prevents oxidation and the formation of free radicals, which are the most common causes of skin ageing. Its molecules are most similar to those of human ceramides, ensuring optimal absorption. In addition, a chemical analysis has shown that it contains eight aromas, while other jojoba oils contain only four. Application and qualities Body care: Suitable for children, women and men.
