Jojoba Oil is one of nature’s most versatile and skin-friendly oils, prized for its remarkable similarity to the skin’s own sebum. At Solstice Skinfood, we use cold-pressed, pure Jojoba Oil to create luxurious, effective skincare that balances, hydrates, and protects the skin without clogging pores.

What is Jojoba Oil?

Jojoba Oil is extracted from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis plant, native to the deserts of North America. Unlike most oils, Jojoba is technically a liquid wax ester, making it uniquely compatible with human skin.

Its molecular structure closely mirrors natural sebum, which allows it to absorb easily, regulate oil production, and strengthen the skin barrier. Rich in Vitamin E, B-complex vitamins, and minerals, Jojoba Oil nourishes and protects the skin while remaining lightweight and non-greasy.

Key Skin Benefits

1. Balances Sebum & Oil Production
Jojoba Oil is excellent for oily, combination, or acne-prone skin because it can signal the skin to regulate its natural oil production, reducing shine and helping prevent breakouts.

2. Deep Hydration Without Greasiness
Despite its light texture, Jojoba Oil is an excellent moisturizer. It penetrates quickly, locks in hydration, and restores suppleness without leaving a heavy residue.

3. Strengthens the Skin Barrier
Jojoba helps repair the lipid barrier, protecting against moisture loss, environmental stressors, and irritants.

4. Soothes and Calms Skin
Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties make Jojoba Oil ideal for sensitive or reactive skin, helping to calm redness and irritation.

5. Compatible with All Skin Types
From oily to dry, young to mature, Jojoba Oil works beautifully with almost every skin type. Its gentle nature makes it perfect for layering with actives like Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, or Rosehip Oil.

Jojoba Oil is lightweight and almost colorless, with a very subtle, nutty aroma. Its silky, fast-absorbing texture makes it ideal for both morning and evening routines. It leaves skin soft, smooth, and comfortable — never greasy — and pairs effortlessly with other serums, oils, and creams.
