◆ Why jojoba oil is amazing
“The Miracle of the Desert” jojoba
Jojoba, originating from the deserts of the southwestern United States, is a low shrub that can live up to 200 years. It extends roots up to 6 meters underground to absorb water and can even suppress its own water release, making it a rare plant.
Because it survives in such harsh natural environments, jojoba is also called “The Miracle of the Desert.” It grows slowly, and its seeds do not bear fruit until about 10 years of age. Therefore, the oil extracted from jojoba is very valuable.
Additionally, jojoba oil is highly stable and can be stored for long periods, which may be a testament to the plant’s strong vitality.
◆ The “Golden Liquid” loved by Native Americans
Centuries ago, Native Americans called the oil extracted from fully ripe jojoba seeds “The Golden Liquid.”
This plant was very important to people living a hunting lifestyle under severe conditions such as intense sunlight, drastic temperature differences, and extreme dryness.
Jojoba oil was used in various ways to support healthy living, including as a food, to prevent skin dryness, and for hair care.
Over time, the usage and benefits of jojoba oil were passed from Native Americans to Spanish immigrants. This is why it spread worldwide as “jojoba” (Spanish pronunciation), rather than the English reading “ジョジョバ.”
◆ “Wax Esters” that support the function of sebum
Are you familiar with the term “Wax Esters”? Here is a simple diagram illustrating a cross-section of human skin. At the very top, on the skin surface, is the sebum film. In healthy skin, this sebum film’s barrier function always works to maintain moisture and elasticity, protect against external stimuli, and create a foundation for normal skin renewal (turnover).
Among the components that make up this sebum film, about 20% to 30% are “Wax Esters,” which are second in abundance after glycerol compounds and fatty acids.
The main component of jojoba oil is also a liquid “Wax Ester.” This is why it is said to be close to human sebum. Among natural oils, jojoba contains an exceptionally high amount of wax esters. It is a rare oil capable of supplementing the function of sebum.
*1 Sebum component - Glycerol compounds*
Makes up about half of the sebum film, composed of triglycerides. It retains moisture on the skin surface, providing hydration. Glycerin, often included in moisturizing creams, helps support this function.
*2 Sebum component - Fatty acids*
Keeps the skin slightly acidic and aids the skin’s barrier function. When exposed to air, fatty acids oxidize, and if left untreated, can cause blackheads and keratin plugs.
◆ Despite being an oil, it feels smooth and non-greasy
Many imagine oils as feeling slippery and greasy on the skin, but that’s not the case here. It quickly blends in without stickiness. Instead of layering with more oil, it replenishes deficient sebum and forms a thin, moisturizing veil.
It feels moist yet light. This pleasant sensation is due to the composition of jojoba oil.
Because its main components have molecular structures similar to those in human sebum, jojoba oil has high affinity with the skin and penetrates easily.
◆ The secret of 98.7% jojoba oil
The main component of jojoba oil is “Wax Esters,” identical to those in human sebum. This insight led to the development of J Oil. During development, particular attention was paid to a unique blend of ingredients. Instead of 100% jojoba oil, it was formulated at 98.7%, with the remaining 1.3% consisting of three moisturizing ingredients to enhance the “moist feeling.”
Carrot extract, soybean oil, and tocopherol (Vitamin E). The harmony of jojoba oil with these moisturizing components provides higher-quality moisture and comfort. Experience the dedication of Elina in every drop with your bare skin.
Details about the ingredients are explained on the ingredient introduction page.
◆ Commitment to manufacturing: J Oil production process
- Point 1:
Hand-harvesting is carefully done by hand to avoid damaging the seeds, unlike machine harvesting.
- Point 2:
Pure oil is extracted using low-temperature pressing to preserve jojoba’s nutritional components.
◆ A cosmetic oil that can be used anywhere, anytime
J Oil is a versatile cosmetic oil suitable for any time, place, and anyone. Worried about sunlight? No need to worry about “oil oxidation” caused by UV rays. It’s safe to use in the morning skincare routine, for point care during dry daytime, or for a thorough nighttime treatment. Also, since it contains no fragrances, it’s suitable for sensitive noses, men, and children.
◆ Easy to use anytime, anywhere, by anyone
Use before or after applying toner to improve skin absorption, or as a massage oil at the end of your skincare routine.
J Oil is a multi-purpose item that can be used for morning and evening facial care and various other applications.
◆ When to use J Oil
For example, during weekend relaxation, indulge in a slightly more elaborate lymphatic massage. J Oil’s excellent skin affinity means you can use it on your body without needing to wipe off. For makeup around the eyes, mouth, or lips, gently massage with your fingertips and lightly wipe with tissue for a fresh, clean look.
It’s also perfect for caring for dry areas like elbows, knees, and heels, or for nail care. It spreads smoothly and provides thorough moisture.
If you accidentally get sunburned, your skin is in a desert-like state beneath the sweat. After cooling down, apply J Oil to form a firm, moisturizing veil. Since it doesn’t cause oil burn, it can be used even in the hot summer with lots of sun exposure.
Jojoba oil is so gentle that it is used for skin contact and touch care between babies and mothers. It can be used on delicate skin.
