PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

An extremely versatile oil that can be used for all skin types. It penetrates the skin very quickly leaving it feeling soft and supple. Excellent in hair products as well.
 
Product Description 
A clear, yellow oil that is expressed from the organically grown seeds of the Jojoba plant.
 
It is an occlusive moisturiser which means it slows down Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) from the skin. Normally, we don’t recommend the use of synthetic occlusives like liquid paraffin as they seal the skin for many days which we believe to be most undesirable. However, Jojoba Oil is a temporary occlusive and just reduces the moisture loss for about 12 hours of the day. It does not seal the skin completely and allows to skin to continue its normal eliminative functions.
  • Use 1% to 100%.
  • Oil soluble so cannot be used in water only products. It can be used in small amounts in water based gels that will hold it in suspension.
  • Heat stable so can be used in Stage 1 (fat stage) when making creams and lotions. The waxy esters in the oil make it very stable and resistant to oxidation.
Jojoba oil is actually a wax that is liquid at room temperature. If you store your bottle in a cold area, you will see that it goes cloudy and thicker at the bottom of the bottle. This is the fatty esters solidifying and nothing is settling out or separating - it is just that the bottle in a cold room is usually colder at the bottom than the top. This does not damage the oil and coming to room temperature will restore the usual clarity of the oil.
 
Blend Jojoba Oil with a little Geranium Essential Oil to make an oil balancing facial oil.
 
Combine it with low freezing point oils like Hazelnut and Squalane to make effective facial oils and products for combination skin types.

HOW TO USE IT

Skin Care
  • The high levels of Eicosenoic Acid means that it balances the oil levels in the skin, making it less oily. As it is a non greasy, non comedogenic, it will not block the skin’s pores. It leaves the skin with a very elegant natural silicon like feel.
  • Wonderful to use in mature skin creams and serums.
  • It has a chemical make up very similar to sebum which is the natural oil lubricant that our skin secretes. When we get slow or sluggish pores or block our pores with poor quality cosmetics, the sebum can start to build up. This slightly stretches the pores giving the appearance of large pores and the surface of the sebum plug starts to go black as it oxidises with the air. This is then called a blackhead and when it is squeezed, the matter that comes out is oxidised or rancid sebum. When Jojoba Oil is used in the facial products, it can soften the acneic sebum plugs and allow the pores to expel the blackhead. For that reason, it is an excellent choice in acne prone skin products.
  • Dry skin benefits from Jojoba Oil as it locks moisture in the skin and soothes dry and chapped areas. It keeps the skin soft and hydrated. For the same reasons, it is perfect to use in lip balms.
  • An excellent skin emollient which helps reduce TEWL. This makes for excellent cold weather face creams as well as gardeners hand creams. It is very protective and acts like a barrier to the harsh external conditions. It replenishes rough and calloused skin to become soft and supple.
  • Suitable for all skin types, even a delicate baby’s skin.
  • It is an excellent oil to use in massage creams and lotions as the molecular bonds are particularly strong and allows very long, slow strokes on the body which is ideal for deep treatment massages. It leaves no sticky feeling on the skin.
  • In massage oils, it can penetrate too quickly on its own so the slip can be increased by blending with 10% Castor Oil as well as adding some Omega 3 oils like Rosehip Seed or Chia Seed.
  • Makes a very good hand or nail cream or use as a nail oil. The oil strengthens and hydrates the cuticles.
Hair Care
  • It is a great choice for hair products due to its protective properties and ability to retain moisture. It forms a transparent, protective film on the hair shaft which locks moisture into the hair shaft.
  • The Erucic Acid content leaves a very silky texture on the hair with a natural silicon like quality.
  • As it has a rich mixture of Omega 9 essential fatty acids, it is an excellent hair conditioner.
  • It is very heat stable and works exceptionally well in hot oil hair treatments.

New to CBD? Not sure where to start? We've got you covered!

What is CBD?

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, another well-known compound found in cannabis, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it won't cause the "high" associated with marijuana use.

CBD is extracted from the hemp plant, a variety of cannabis that contains only trace amounts of THC. It is then processed into various forms, including oils, capsules, edibles, and topicals, which can be used for a wide range of purposes.

CBD interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating a variety of physiological and cognitive processes, such as pain sensation, mood, and sleep. This interaction can potentially lead to a variety of health benefits, including pain relief, reduced inflammation, improved sleep, and reduced anxiety and depression symptoms.

Is CBD legal?

In most places, including the UK, certain CBD products are completely legal to buy and consume. However, please check local legislation before purchasing or consuming any CBD product.

How can CBD help me?

CBD, or cannabidiol, has been shown to potentially provide a wide range of benefits for various conditions. Some of the most commonly reported benefits of CBD include relief from pain and inflammation, reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms, improvement in sleep quality, and management of epilepsy and seizure disorders.

Additionally, CBD may have neuroprotective properties, meaning it could potentially benefit those with neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.

However, it's important to note that more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks of CBD use.

It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement or treatment.

Will your products get me high?

No. All of our products contain less than 0.2% THC as per UK/EU laws - please view our Lab results page for more information.

Our products contain no THC so you will not get high/stoned. Our products do contain CBD, CBG and other legal cannabinoids, but you won't get high or stoned like you would if you smoked regular cannabis.

...however, you can get "high" with the entourage effect.

How much CBD should I take?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a type of cannabinoid, one of many compounds found naturally in cannabis plants. There are many different vehicles for consuming CBD such as oils, tablets, capsules, gummies, chocolates, creams and more. Choosing how to take it might seem like the first step, but it might actually be more useful to determine how much you want to take first...

Everyone is different, this means that everyone’s preferred dosage might be slightly different too. You may need to experiment slightly to find a dosage that works for you but here is some information for you to consider. 

The Food Standards Agency in the UK recommends the maximum daily CBD dosage of 10mg. This advice should not be applied directly to CBD products that are inhaled or applied dermally, nor does it consider exposure from such product types. 

Consumers on regular medications should seek advice from a medical professional before using any type of CBD food product. Consult a health professional before using CBD if pregnant, breastfeeding or taking other medication. 

Our edible products are food supplements and should be taken as part of a varied diet and healthy lifestyle.
