What Exactly Is Jojoba Oil?
Jojoba oil is not actually an oil, it is a liquid wax ester extracted from the seeds of the jojoba shrub (Simmondsia chinensis), a hardy desert plant native to arid regions. Wax esters are the primary component of human sebum, which makes jojoba the closest botanical match to our skin’s natural protective layer
What Is the Colour of Pure Jojoba Oil and Why Does It Look Like That?
Authentic cold-pressed jojoba oil is golden-yellow in colour with slight variation which occur due to soil, water and temperature variations.
This colour comes from naturally occurring:
• Carotenoids (plant antioxidants that lend a warm golden tone)
• Tocopherols (Vitamin E compounds)
• Fat-soluble phytosterols
• Wax esters and long-chain fatty alcohols
These nutrients survive only when the oil is cold pressed, not heat treated.
What Makes Jojoba Oil So Nutritious for Human Skin?
Pure jojoba oil contains:
• Wax esters, identical to human sebum; help regulate oil production
• Vitamin E (tocopherols), antioxidant; protects from environmental stress
• Squalene, supports skin barrier function
• Omega-9 fatty acids (gondoic acid, erucic acid), moisturise deeply
• Phytosterols, calm the skin and support repair
• Trace minerals such as zinc, copper, and chromium
These nutrients make jojoba oil non-comedogenic, stable, soothing, and safe even for the most sensitive skin types.
Why Is Jojoba Oil Called the Best Care for Human Skin?
Research shows that jojoba oil:
• Mimics human sebum structurally, balances dry or oily skin
• Is non-comedogenic, does not clog pores
• Has antimicrobial properties, helpful for acne conditions
• Is hypoallergenic, extremely low irritation profile
• Supports the skin barrier, reduces TEWL (water loss)
Because it speaks the same language as human skin, it becomes a universal solution for almost all skin concerns, from dryness and acne to sensitivity and eczema-prone conditions.
Why Jojoba Oil Is the Safest Oil for Highly Sensitive Skin and Newborns
Clinical studies confirm that jojoba oil is:
• Hypoallergenic
• Extremely stable, meaning it does not oxidise and irritate the skin
• Free from common allergens found in nut or seed oils
• Very close to the natural lipid profile of newborn skin
That is why dermatologists and natural skin formulators consider jojoba the most baby-safe oil after months of safety evaluation.
Why Serene SNAANA’s Jojoba Oil Stands Out
Serene SNAANA sources jojoba seeds directly from farmers in Rajasthan, where the desert climate naturally supports jojoba cultivation.
• Grown in India
• Cold pressed in India
• No chemicals, preservatives, solvents, or fragrances
• Made in small batches for freshness
The oil is extracted the traditional way, through cold pressing, which preserves nutrients and ensures the golden richness of the oil remains untouched.
Why Cold-Pressed Jojoba Oil Is Superior to Hot-Processed or Solvent-Extracted Oil
Cold pressing uses pressure without heat, which allows nutrients to remain intact.
In contrast:
Solvent-extracted jojoba Oil
• Uses hexane or industrial solvents
• May leave trace residues
• Has significantly reduced nutrients
Hot-processed jojoba Oil
• Heat destroys antioxidants
• Alters colour and texture
• Reduces skincare benefits
Cold-pressed jojoba is the only form safe and powerful enough for baby skin and sensitive skin formulations.
Is Jojoba Oil Used for Consumption?
No.
Jojoba oil contains compounds such as erucic acid, which are not suitable for human consumption.
It is exclusively used externally for skin, scalp, and hair.
Which Skin Types Can Use Jojoba Oil?
Jojoba oil is suitable for:
• Oily and combination skin
• Acne-prone skin
• Sensitive and reactive skin
• Infant and newborn skin
• Teenage hormonal skin
• Premature, dry, mature, and aging skin
It adapts to the skin’s needs because its structure mirrors natural sebum.
Is Jojoba Oil Greasy or Sticky?
No.
Jojoba oil is one of the least greasy botanical oils. As a liquid wax, it absorbs quickly and regulates sebum production instead of sitting heavily on the skin.
