The jojoba plant (Simmondsia Chinensis) is woody evergreen shrub, native to southern Arizona and northern Mexico. Dull in appearance, non-descript, the plant produces a brown seed or bean known as Jojoba. Until the 1970’s it was a plant nobody saw a use for. Jojoba’s qualities lie not in what it looks like but in its composition.

Truly unique, it is the only plant in the world that stores energy in its seed as a wax. All other plants such as Almond, Sunflower, Olive, Rosehip, Argan etc store energy in their seed as a vegetable oil. Whilst pure jojoba might look like most other yellow plant oils, that’s where the similarities stop.

Jojoba is not an oil but a natural organic liquid wax ester. Thus, the chemical structure of jojoba oil is totally different from all other plant and vegetable oils. Why stress this difference? Our skin produces a natural light body oil known as Sebum. It too is a natural occurring wax ester, not an oil. Sebum sits on the upper layers of the skin, acting as a barrier providing softness, hydration and protective moisture.

Jojoba’s strength is this. Pure Jojoba Oil is known and proven to be the closest match in all of nature to our own body’s natural skin oil. Nothing else comes near it. As a wax ester, it is non -greasy, non-oily, a natural skin moisturiser that ‘takes’ to the skin very quickly leaving it silk smooth, perfectly moisturised.

Jojoba oil is a complete moisturiser hidden in just one single ingredient. Pure Red Ridge Jojoba Oil is ‘Life for your Skin’.
