In the plant world, the chemical composition of jojoba oil, whose properties are similar to spermaceti, is unparalleled. Despite the fact that its consistency is quite thick, it is perfectly absorbed into the protective layer of the skin and at the same time does not leave a greasy shine on it.
Due to the fact that jojoba oil contains a high amount of vitamin E, it has anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, which is why it is recommended for oily and dry skin, regardless of age.
Many skin problems are associated with the frozen formations of sebum clogging the hair follicles, which leads to flaking. Jojoba oil will also help to solve this problem.

It is very effective 10-15 minutes before washing your hair, apply oil to the roots of the hair both in pure form or in combination with many essential oils, such as eucalyptus, ginger,
pine, cedar and sage.
