Jojoba is a drought resistant perennial plant and is valued for its oil yielding capacity. Certain products obtained from Jojoba seeds such as liquid wax and Jojoba oil are extensively used in the cosmetic industry.
Jojoba is beneficial for managing acne and helps in reducing redness, pain and inflammation associated with psoriasis due to its antibacterial and antiinflammatory activity. It is also effective against scars, wrinkles and stretch marks because of its moisturising as well as antioxidant properties and its ability to penetrate deep into the skin.
According to Ayurveda, Jojoba helps to heal wounds due to its Ropan (healing) property. It is also good for chapped skin due to its Snigdha (oily) nature.
Jojoba oil is applied on face to promote beard growth as it has vitamin E and certain minerals necessary for hair growth. It is also applied on the scalp along with coconut oil to remove dryness and manage dandruff.
It is advisable to avoid the use of Jojoba oil on oily skin and it should always be used in diluted form along with some carrier oil.
