Organic Jojoba Oil
INCI: Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
Origin
Jojoba Oil is obtained from the seeds of Simmondsia chinensis, a hardy evergreen shrub native to the arid regions of North America. The certified organic oil used by AREUM is cold pressed from the seeds to preserve its naturally beneficial composition.
Despite its name, Jojoba Oil is technically a liquid wax rather than a traditional plant oil. It is composed predominantly of long-chain wax esters, with smaller amounts of naturally occurring tocopherols, phytosterols and other plant compounds.
How AREUM Uses It
We use Organic Jojoba Oil in Grace Facial Oil, where it works alongside olive-derived squalane, meadowfoam, rosehip, camellia and sea buckthorn oils.
Jojoba provides a soft, conditioning foundation for the formula. It helps Grace spread smoothly across the skin, supports an elegant and balanced texture, and allows the richer botanical oils to feel nourishing without becoming overly heavy.
Why AREUM Chose Jojoba Oil
We chose Jojoba Oil for its unusual wax ester composition, exceptional stability and affinity with the skin.
Unlike many botanical oils, Jojoba is not predominantly composed of triglycerides. Its liquid wax esters give it a smooth, lightweight quality and make it naturally resistant to oxidation, helping support the integrity and longevity of Grace.
It offers the comfort of a nourishing oil without an excessively rich or greasy finish. This makes it especially valuable within a concentrated facial oil, where each ingredient must contribute not only to the skin benefits of the formula, but also to the way it feels and performs.
Benefits for Skin
Jojoba Oil acts as an emollient, helping soften, smooth and condition the skin. Its wax esters form a light, breathable layer over the skin’s surface, helping reduce moisture loss and support a more supple, comfortable feel.
Its gentle, balanced character makes it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including skin that feels dry, delicate or unsettled. Within Grace, Jojoba helps replenish the skin while maintaining the silky, refined finish of the formula.
