Jojoba oil

Jojoba is not a nut, so is an excellent choice for people with nut allergies. Use on it’s own or blend with other carrier oils such as Rosehip or Macadamia nut oil. Add essential oils of your choice for a unique moisturizer or massage oil just for you. Totally edible – has a long history of use as a food in South America. 100% pure – no additives.

10 tips on how to use Rich Earth organic jojoba oil

1. As a facial moisturiser.  Using jojoba oil during the day may make your face extra-shiny while the jojoba oil works its magic – it you don’t want this effect, then try Rich Earth macadamia nut oil for the daytime (or Rich Earth Rose & Sandalwood Cream).  For a night-time facial treat, add a few drops of Rich Earth jojoba oil to your night-time moisturizer or using it on its down by spreading a few drops over your face and neck.
2. For acne.  Skin problems including acne breakouts may be reduced by regular use of jojoba oil – this is because jojoba helps to break down sebum, which blocks skin pores, making you more prone to acne.  For an even better effect, add Rich Earth essential oils such as manuka, geranium (for women) or cedarwood (for men) to help reduce bacteria and aid healing.

3. Body moisturizer. After your shower, spread a few drops of Rich Earth jojoba oil on your hands, feet and other skin areas so your skin doesn’t get dry after stepping out of the shower.  Moisture will be sealed in keeping your skin silky-smooth all day.
4. Makeup remover.  Rich Earth jojoba oil is fabulous at dissolving make-up – no harsh chemicals or soaps required!   Simply apply a few drops of Rich Earth jojoba oil to a cotton pad and gently wipe make-up and mascara off your eye area and face.
5. Lip balm.  Apply to your lips as you would with regular lip balm to treat your dried, chapped lips.  If you’re a real DIY-er, mix with melted cocoa butter and pour into a small plastic pot with a few drops of vanilla essence..
6. Nail/cuticle treatment. Treat your dried cuticles around your fingernails by massaging with some Rich Earth jojoba oil.
7. Hair treatment.  Add a few drops to your conditioner, or for a “home-salon” treatment, warm a little Rich Earth jojoba oil, blend with a few drops of ylang ylang oil.  Massage into the scalp and hair.  Wrap in plastic film.  Leave in for 20-30 minutes then shampoo out.
8. Pre-shaving treatment.  Applying Rich Earth jojoba oil to your face or legs before applying shaving cream will prepare your skin for a smoother shave.  Your skin will also be super-soft skin when you are done.
9. Massage oil. suitable for all skin types – jojoba is not a nut, so it is an excellent choice for people with nut allergies.
10. Perfume base.  Mix with a few drops of your favourite essential oil – such as  Rose, Jasmine or Sandalwood – to apply as a personal perfume.  Makes a great gift too!  (note that Rose, Jasmine and Neroli are available as pre-mixed dilutions for this very purpose. Perfect to put in our gorgeous 10mL frosted roller-ball bottles.
