◆ 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 has roots extending up to 6 meters underground to absorb water and can even suppress water release itself, 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 it takes about 10 years for its seeds to bear fruit. 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 them, living in harsh environments with strong sunlight, extreme temperature differences, and severe dryness, while engaging in hunting lifestyles.
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” (pronounced in English), derived from the Spanish pronunciation rather than the English “Jojo-ba.”
◆ “Wax Esters” that support the function of sebum
Are you familiar with the term “Wax Esters”? Here is a simple diagram illustrating the 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.” They are the second most abundant 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 similar to human sebum. Among natural oils, jojoba oil contains an exceptionally high amount of wax esters. It can be considered a rare substance capable of supplementing the function of sebum.
*1 Sebum component - Glycerol compounds*
They constitute about half of the sebum film, made from triglycerides. They help retain moisture on the skin surface. Glycerin, often included in moisturizing creams, supplements this function.
*2 Sebum component - Fatty acids*
They keep the skin slightly acidic and support the skin’s barrier function. When exposed to air, they oxidize over time, and if left untreated, can cause blackheads and keratin plugs.
◆ Despite being an oil, it feels smooth and light
Many imagine oils as feeling greasy and slippery on the skin, but that’s not the case here. It quickly blends in without stickiness. Instead of layering 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.
Since the main component of jojoba oil has a molecular structure similar to that of human sebum, it has high affinity with the skin and penetrates easily.
◆ The secret of 98.7% jojoba oil
The main component of jojoba oil is “Wax Ester,” identical to that in human sebum. This insight led to the development of J Oil.
In particular, we focused on a unique blend of ingredients. Instead of 100% jojoba oil, we used 98.7%, adding three moisturizing ingredients to enhance the “moist feeling”: carrot extract, soybean oil, and tocopherol (Vitamin E).
All these moisturizing components harmonize with jojoba oil to deliver higher quality moisture and comfort. Experience the meticulous care of Elina in every drop with your bare skin.
Details about the ingredients are explained on the ingredient introduction page.
◆ Our Commitment to Manufacturing J Oil
Jojoba 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 the nutritional components of jojoba.
◆ A versatile cosmetic oil suitable for any scene
J Oil is a multifunctional cosmetic oil that anyone can use anytime and anywhere. Even if you think sunlight might be harmful, don’t worry. It does not oxidize due to UV rays, so “oil burn” is not a concern.
It is recommended for morning skincare, point care during dry days, or thorough nighttime care. Since it contains no fragrances, sensitive users, men, and children can also use it casually.
◆ Easy to use anytime, anywhere, for anyone
- Before or after applying toner, enhance skin absorption with + cream.
- At the end of skincare, use as a massage oil.
J Oil is a versatile item suitable for morning and evening facial care and various other uses.
◆ When to use J Oil
For example, during weekend relaxation, try a slightly more elaborate lymphatic massage. J Oil’s good skin absorption means you can use it on your body without needing to wipe off.
It’s also perfect for removing point makeup by gently massaging with fingertips and wiping with tissue for a fresh, clean look.
Use it for eye, lip, and facial area care, as well as for dry elbows, knees, heels, and 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 does not 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.
