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 is very similar to human sebum. This makes the oil extremely well tolerated, even by sensitive, combination or troubled skin. The light, liquid texture feels dry and satin-soft, absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy film.

Key benefits

This versatile jojoba oil moisturises without weighing down the skin, helps to strengthen the skin barrier and supports natural sebum production. For the face, this means a better balance between dry and oily areas, while 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 itching or oily hair roots. Thanks to its fragrance-free formula, the oil is completely neutral, making it an excellent base for essential oils or other plant-based active ingredients.

Properties

The Indians and Aztecs were already familiar with the special nourishing properties of jojoba oil, as the jojoba shrub is native to Central and South America. The seeds of the jojoba plant are cold-pressed, which preserves the oil's natural vitamins, antioxidants and skin-friendly fatty acids.

Organic jojoba oil hardly oxidises thanks to its high dose of natural vitamin E, which means that this oil remains good for years. Organic jojoba oil is not actually an oil but a liquid wax that is remarkably similar to natural skin lipids. This makes it particularly suitable for a wide range of skin types, from sensitive to oily or combination skin.

The oil moisturises, softens and protects the skin without clogging pores. Thanks to its regulating properties, jojoba oil balances oily or troubled skin and makes dry skin feel comfortable again. The oil is also a powerful hair care product that adds shine, suppleness and strength without weighing it down.

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