Oil Spotlight | Jojoba Oil
Between 2015 and 2019, the number of European Personal Care product launches containing Jojoba oil (INCI: simmondsia chinensis) increased by 35%. **Did you know? **When oils are too heavy, they don't allow your skin to breathe and can clog up your pores. The best oils for skin care are those such as Jojoba oil - their smaller molecular size means that they are easily absorbed by the skin due to its compatibility with the skin’s own naturally produced sebum.
