Jojoba Oil

Jojoba Oil is cold pressed from the beans of the Simmodsia Chinensis plant.

A few of Jojoba Oil's qualities are as follows:

• this soap making oil is a deep, golden orange color in its natural state or a clear light yellow if its the clear deodorized version.


• the oil is actually a liquid wax with absorption properties very similar to our skins sebum.


• Rich in Vitamin E which gives it excellent storage qualities.


• has anti-infammatory and anti-oxident properties.


• creates a barrier that protects the skin from the elements.


• can clog the pores if too much is used.


• use as a superfatting nutrient and add just before trace.

The chart below shows the approximate percentages of fatty acids present in Jojoba Oil. Since it is a liquid wax, it doesn't contain many of the regular fatty acids we normally see in soap making oils.
