The Molecular Power of Jojoba Oil: How Lipids Restore Skin Barrier Function
Introduction
Jojoba is a perennial plant that thrives in North America's dry deserts. Jojoba oil is a golden liquid extracted from the seeds of a jojoba plant using a cold-press method. It is a good moisturizer because of its makeup, which is comparable to that of sebum, a natural oil produced by the skin. In addition to not clogging pores, jojoba oil is non-comedogenic; therefore, it can be used on all skin types, including those with acne [1].
Why is jojoba oil used on the skin?
Jojoba oil has several advantages for oily skin. For instance, it can help keep the skin hydrated and prevent it from drying out. Even if you have oily skin, you could have problems drying out (especially if you use a cleanser that dries out your skin). This can make the skin even more oily by making the sebaceous glands overproduce sebum to compensate for it [2].
Jojoba oil is one of the best natural moisturizers for oily skin because of its waxy nature, which simulates the natural production of sebum skin. When pure jojoba oil is applied to the skin, a layer that helps retain moisture is immediately formed on top of the skin [1]. The following are some advantages of using jojoba oil for oily skin, in addition to nourishing and preventing drying out:
Squalane and Antioxidant Botanicals
The formulation is more than simple hydration. Squalane keeps the skin supple by acting as an emollient, and extracts from plants such as magnolia bark, frankincense (Boswellia), and prickly pear cactus provide antioxidants and calming substances that reduce oxidative stress and cause irritation. Bisabolol, a naturally occurring chemical, has anti-inflammatory properties that improve skin comfort.
Lipids as Cellular Protectors
According to research, the skin barrier's defense against environmental stresses such as pollution, UV rays, and dryness is enhanced when its lipid matrix is restored [3]. Botanical oils boost long-term resilience and radiance by restoring these vital lipids and repairing damage.
