What is jojoba oil?
Jojoba oil (Serbian: “ulje jojobe” or “jojoba ulje”, sometimes spelled jojobe oil) is obtained by cold pressing the seeds of the jojoba shrub, which grows in hot, arid regions. Cold-pressed, unrefined oil keeps its golden color, mild scent and all its valuable components.
In terms of composition, it is actually a liquid wax, similar to the skin’s natural sebum – which is why the skin absorbs it quickly, and the oil does not go rancid or oxidize, even at high temperatures. It is rich in vitamin E and phytosterols and is one of the most widely used oils in cosmetics.

How to use jojoba oil for face, hair and nails
For the face
Twice a day, apply 4–5 drops to clean, damp skin and massage in gently. If an oily film remains after a few minutes, remove it with a tissue and use less oil next time. After a longer period of daily use, take a 7–10 day break.
For the body
Apply a small amount of oil to clean, damp skin, using gentle strokes from the extremities towards the heart.
For hair
Apply the oil to the hair roots and scalp, leave on for at least an hour, then wash your hair. For a hair mask, mix 5–6 tablespoons of jojoba oil with 5–6 tablespoons of olive oil, warm gently, apply along the full length of the hair and leave for 2–3 hours under a warm towel.
For nails
Apply a little oil to the nail plate and the surrounding skin and leave for 10–15 minutes; remove any excess with a tissue.
Who should not use it
- for external use only;
- if you have sensitive skin, test it first on a small area of skin.
