1. Product Overview
Jojoba Seed Oil is a golden, odorless liquid wax extracted from the seeds of Simmondsia chinensis, a shrub native to arid regions of North America. Unlike most vegetable oils, jojoba oil closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, making it one of the most stable and skin-compatible oils in the cosmetics and personal care industry.
AIHerba® Jojoba Seed Oil is obtained through cold pressing and supercritical CO₂ extraction, ensuring optimal purity, natural nutrient retention, and superior oxidative stability.
It is widely used in skin care, hair care, pharmaceuticals, and functional foods for its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and protective properties.
