Jojoba plants are native to the “green desert” of southeastern
Arizona and portions of the Mohave desert in southern California in the
United States. It is a distant relative of the cloves tree grown in
South and Southeastern Asia, but it is the only plant of its family in
North America.
Jojoba Oil Used As Skin Treatment
Jojoba nuts deliver vitamin E to the skin. Nearly 80% of the vitamin E
in the nuts is gamma-tocopherol, which is usually deficient in European
and Australian (although not American and Canadian) diets. The nuts also
contain alpha- and beta-tocopherol, and a compound called
beta-sitosterol, which can interact with testosterone in the skin.
It is most commonly used as a carrier agent to help deliver healing
substances deep into pores. Since jojoba oil is chemically similar to
sebum, it easily mixes with sebum, and carries other substances deep
down into the skin.
