In scientific terms, waxes are esters of long chain fatty acids with long chain monohydroxyl alcohols, whereas fats are esters of long chain fatty acids with glycerine. Being composed of mostly wax esters, it means that there is very little likelihood of deterioration of the oil. It is ideal for use in cosmetics because of its molecular stability and its natural moisturising and healing properties. Jojoba's resistance to oxidation means that it does not require additional chemical preservatives. It is suitable for all skin types, whether dry, oily or sensitive. When applied to the scalp as a treatment, jojoba oil acts to regulate and remove the sebum layer. Research also indicates that jojoba oil is beneficial in the treatment of certain dry scalp and skin problems such as psoriasis and eczema. The oil is an excellent emollient for the skin, rendering it soft and smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125ml, 250ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE NATURALIST GRANDEUR","offers":[{"title":"125ml","offer_id":48393345990908,"sku":"TNG0004-JOJ125ML","price":99.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250ml","offer_id":48393346023676,"sku":"TNG0004-JOJ250ML","price":189.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/6640\/7164\/files\/3.png?v=1761984038","url":"https:\/\/www.thenaturalistgrandeur.com.sg\/products\/jojoba-virgin","provider":"The Naturalist Grandeur","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
