Jojoba Oil [Organic]

Description

Organic Jojoba Oil

Wild As The Wind Organic Jojoba Oil is a premium quality carrier oil, and is thus superior to many of the Organic Jojoba Oils available. This is reflected in the price.

Nevertheless, it is considerably less expensive than some of the better known reputable brands, even though it is equivalent to, or of superior quality to, these more expensive alternatives.

Organic Jojoba Oil Uses

Although we all refer to Organic Jojoba Oil as an oil, it is actually officially termed a wax. This lends Organic Jojoba Oil some pretty unique healing properties.

Organic Jojoba Oil has multiple uses within skincare and haircare.

Extensive studies on Jojoba oil showed a wide range of pharmacological applications, including antioxidant, anti-acne and antipsoriasis, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antipyretic, analgesic, antimicrobial, and anti-hyperglycemia activities. In addition, Jojoba oil is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, especially in cosmetics for topical, transdermal, and parenteral preparations. Jojoba oil also holds value in the industry as an anti-rodent, insecticides, lubricant, surfactant…¹

The conclusion of the study from which the above quote is taken also states that Organic Jojoba Oil is antibacterial and antiviral.

Organic Jojoba Oil is a vitally important ingredient in all of the Wild As The Wind facial oils, and it is also a critically important oil for cleansing our skin and removing makeup.

It is also a great oil to add to Organic Argan Oil and a couple of essential oils to make an excellent hair treatment oil. (See below for the recipe and usage instructions.)

Organic Jojoba Oil For Cleansing & Makeup Removal

Jojoba Oil shares almost the same chemistry as the sebum of our skin. But, because Organic Jojoba Oil is in a liquid state at room temperature / body temperature, it can play an important role in the health of our skin.

The application of Organic Jojoba Oil to our skin helps to liquefy the sebum within our pores, which, in turn, helps to keep our sebum soft and free-flowing.

Unfortunately, sebum has a nasty habit of hardening and clinging onto dead skin and other microscopic specks of debris. This causes the pores to block and can lead to the formation of blackheads and acne etc.

Wild As The Wind advocate the use of Organic Jojoba Oil as a cleansing agent /  makeup remover at a minimum … but we also advocate its use in your facial oil blends as well…

It is important to use a Toner to thoroughly remove the residual Organic Jojoba Oil along with the makeup and daily grime.  In fact, it is advisable to spritz Witch Hazel Toner onto your face midway through the makeup removing / cleansing process.

Organic Jojoba Oil In Facial Oils

Wild As the Wind advise up to a 30% dilution of Organic Jojoba Oil within facial oil blends to maintain optimal sebum levels.

Because Jojoba Oil shares the same chemistry as the sebum within our skin, the process of applying Organic Jojoba Oil and leaving it on our skin for a good number of hours is tremendously helpful. Because Organic Jojoba Oil helps to soften hardening sebum within our pores, it facilitates the ability of our skin to naturally cleanse itself on a perpetual basis.

Organic Jojoba Oil As An After Sun Balm

Scientific studies support the use of Organic Jojoba Oil for application after sun exposure. It has been shown to reduce the discomfort and inflammation associated with sun burn, and may speed up the healing processes of the skin.

For more information about Organic Jojoba Oil as an after sun, please visit: Carrier Oils For UV Protection.

Using sun protective essential oils with UV protective carrier oils can also elevate our protection levels.

Sun burn is an oxidative process. This means that all sun protective carrier oils benefit from the addition of antioxidant essential oils, for use in the sun.

Wild As The Wind Sun Tanning Essential Oil Blend has been specifically formulated for this purpose.

Organic Jojoba Oil For Haircare

Use up to 20% Organic Jojoba Oil in your hair oil blend. Other ingredients can include:

• Organic Argan Oil
• Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
• Rosemary Essential Oil
• Lavender Essential Oil

*Please note, there are organic options for all of the essential oils listed above. You can find these by clicking ‘Organic Essential Oils’ in the main navigation menu, or you can use the search box, both of which are at the top of the screen.

Wild As The Wind Hair Oil Recipe

Ingredient Measurements

Organic Argan Oil 80%

Organic Jojoba Oil 20%

Organic Ylang Ylang Essential Oil 20 drops per 100ml of base oil

Organic Rosemary Essential Oil 20 drops per 100ml of base oil

Organic Lavender Essential Oil 20 drops per 100ml of base oil

Method

Sterilise the bottle you intend to use as the container for your hair oil. The best way to do this is to bake it in the oven at 350° F for about 20 minutes. Dishwashers also sterilise bottles, but you must ensure the bottle is 100% dry prior to use.

Place all of the ingredients in your sterilised bottle at the amounts specified, close the lid and shake well.

*Refer to Using Essential Oils for further information about the safe dilution of essential oils in carrier oils.

Using Your Hair Oil

Shake bottle before use.

Place a small amount of oil in the palm of your hand, and then rub both hands together until the oil is coating the full extent of your palms and fingers on both hands. Then rub your fingers through your hair, spreading the oil from the scalp down to the tips.

Longer hair will require more oil, so repeat until you feel enough oil has been applied.

Then, using your fingertips, massage your scalp gently for a couple of minutes to help stimulate new hair growth.

You can also use a brush to work the oil easily into your hair.

Hair Oil Variations

Beard Oil

All of the best beard oils contain Organic Jojoba Oil. Making a beard oil is slightly different to making a hair oil. A stronger concentration of Organic Jojoba Oil is advised: c. 50%

Contraindications

If you have sensitive skin, or if you do a lot of sun bathing, there’s a very remote chance you may have a slight reaction to this Wild As The Wind oil.

It is always advisable to perform a patch test on the soft skin on the inside of your forearm before using carrier oils on your face.

Perform A Patch Test

Place a drop or two of Wild As The Wind oil on your inner forearm, making sure to massage it well into your skin.

A severe reaction will occur within ten minutes, but it may take 24 hours for milder intolerances to emerge.

Look for signs of Urticaria, (aka Hives), discolouration, redness, dryness, or feelings of irritation / itchiness.

If you experience none of these, you will be safe to use your Wild As The Wind oil elsewhere on your body, including your face.

Nevertheless, always avoid sensitive areas and inside your ears unless otherwise instructed by your health professional. This is especially important if you use your Wild As The Wind oil as a carrier oil for a number of Organic Essential Oils.

Please visit Performing A Patch Test for more information.
