Umuthi Jojoba Oil - Cold Pressed - 100ML

Umuthi Jojoba Oil - Cold Pressed is a 100% pure cold-pressed jojoba oil from Simmondsia chinensis . Although commonly called an oil, jojoba is technically a liquid wax, which helps explain its smooth, silky feel and usefulness in skincare and haircare. It is light, non-greasy, and suitable for dry, oily, and sensitive skin types.

This is a cosmetic oil rather than a certified food-grade oil, so it is intended for external use only. Why we love it: Jojoba is one of the most versatile cosmetic oils to keep on hand. It feels elegant on the skin, works beautifully as a carrier oil, and is especially useful when a formulation needs a soft, silky finish without heaviness.
