Unlocking the Beauty and Health Benefits of Jojoba Oil: A Comprehensive Guide

Here at Clever Little we LOVE Jojoba Oil! Jojoba Oil has many benefits and there are some wonderful reasons we choose to use Jojoba Oil as the carrier oil for our Clever Little range. Jojoba Oil also has loads of excellent cosmetic uses. Let's get into it! 👇🏽 

Possibly the most important feature to us about Jojoba Oil is it's long shelf life. It is highly stable compared to other carrier oils and does not easily oxidize or go rancid, making it an ideal choice for diluting and preserving essential oils.

Jojoba oil is often used as a carrier oil to dilute essential oils before applying them to the skin due to it's hypoallergenic properties. It helps ensure safe and effective application of essential oils and allows for better absorption. 

Our absolute favourite thing about Jojoba Oil is it's moisturising properties. Jojoba Oil is an amazing moisturiser for skin. When used as a carrier oil for essential oils, it enhances their moisturizing effects and helps deliver them to the skin effectively. This means you get the benefit of our oil blends faster and more effectively. The reason for this is Jojoba Oil closely resembles the natural sebum produced by our skin, making it an effective emollient. It helps to hydrate and nourish the skin, promoting overall skin health.

Jojoba oil has a mild, almost odorless scent, which makes it suitable for diluting and carrying a wide range of essential oils. Its neutral aroma allows the true scent and therapeutic properties of the essential oil to shine through without interference, giving you maximum impact of the scent.

On it's own, Jojoba Oil also has the following benefits for you to try! 👇🏽

1. Makeup Remover: Jojoba oil is gentle yet effective in removing makeup, including waterproof products. It can dissolve makeup without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Apply a small amount of jojoba oil to a cotton pad and gently wipe away the makeup.
   
   

2. Scalp and Hair Care: Jojoba oil is often used in hair and scalp treatments. It can help moisturize the scalp, reduce dandruff, and alleviate dryness and itching. Jojoba oil can also be applied to the hair as a leave-in conditioner or as a treatment for split ends and frizz.
   
   

3. Skin Protection: Jojoba oil creates a protective barrier on the skin, helping to shield it from environmental stressors and pollutants. This can be especially beneficial for individuals with sensitive or easily irritated skin.
   
   

4. Nail and Cuticle Care: Jojoba oil can be applied to the nails and cuticles to moisturize and strengthen them. It helps prevent dryness and cracking, promoting healthier-looking nails.

It's important to note that while jojoba oil is generally considered safe, it's always a good idea to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before using it extensively, especially if you have sensitive skin or known allergies. Additionally, consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist if you have any specific skin concerns or conditions.
