Arc en Sels Organic Jojoba Oil

This organic jojoba oil naturally balances the skin and provides gentle, effective care for all skin and hair types. The oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of Simmondsia Chinensis and has a unique composition that closely resembles human sebum. This makes the oil extremely well-tolerated, even by sensitive, combination or troubled skin. The light, fluid texture feels dry and satin-soft to the touch, absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy residue.

Key benefits

This versatile jojoba oil moisturises without weighing the skin down, helps strengthen the skin barrier and supports natural sebum production. For the face, this means a better balance between dry and oily areas, whilst the body benefits from long-lasting softness without shine. On the hair, the oil nourishes dry lengths and helps to soothe the scalp, ideal for itchy or oily roots. Thanks to its fragrance-free formula, the oil is completely neutral, making it excellent for use as a base for essential oils or other plant-based active ingredients.

Properties

The Native Americans and Aztecs were already familiar with the exceptional nourishing properties of jojoba oil; the jojoba shrub is native to Central and South America. The seeds of the jojoba plant are cold-pressed, ensuring the oil retains its natural vitamins, antioxidants and skin-friendly fatty acids. Organic jojoba oil oxidises very little thanks to its high content of natural vitamin E, meaning this oil remains effective for years.

Organic jojoba oil is not actually an oil but a liquid wax that bears a remarkable resemblance to the skin’s natural lipids. This makes it particularly suitable for a wide range of skin types, from sensitive to oily or combination. The oil moisturises, softens and protects the skin without clogging pores. Thanks to its regulating properties, jojoba oil balances oily or troubled skin and restores comfort to dry skin. The oil is also a powerful treatment for the hair, imparting shine, suppleness and strength without weighing it down.

Organic jojoba oil has a natural SPF of 4 and also prevents the skin from drying out. Jojoba oil is also a powerful antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory properties.
