Benefits or Uses of Jojoba oil

Jojoba oil is the liquid produced in the seed of the Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) plant. Unrefined jojoba oil appears as a clear golden liquid at room temperature with a slightly nutty odor. Refined jojoba oil is colorless and odorless. Jojoba oil is relatively shelf-stable when compared with other vegetable oils.
Jojoba Oil is quickly absorbed without leaving a greasy residue. Jojoba oil is the most similar to human skin oil (sebum).
