Jojoba: The little skincare miracle you need in your life

When Starts at 60 spoke with The Jojoba Company recently, we asked what all the fuss was about. “It’s an incredible fix-all!” said The Jojoba Company co-founder Vicki Engsall about the benefits of jojoba for the skin.

The Jojoba Company is the world’s first-and-only company to create skincare from the Wadi Wadi strain of the jojoba plant. Starting in 2000 from a humble family farm in the nutrient-rich soil of Yenda, in the Riverina region of southwestern New South Wales, Vicki and her father decided to launch into skincare with their abundance of jojoba, after recognising the potential of the plant. In 2008, when the first crops came to fruit, The Jojoba Company began formulating their hero product.

Through a simple process, jojoba beans picked from the family farm are sent to be cold-pressed at a local factory through a delicate, extra-virgin pressing and filtering operation, ensuring that all nutrients are maintained within the oil itself. From here, the golden liquid of the jojoba bean is used as the basis for The Jojoba Company’s entire skincare range.

Vicki explained that the reason why jojoba is so special is because it’s the only plant to store a liquid wax within a seed. Additionally, the liquid “shares the same molecular structure as the natural oils found in healthy human skin, making it more receptive to receive vital nutrients and antioxidants, restoring balance and helping your skin behave as it was designed to”.

Jojoba is also crammed full of naturally occurring antioxidants, omegas 6 and 9, as well as vitamins A, D, and E. This makes jojoba an incredibly beneficial ingredient for the skin, and The Jojoba Company has some great products (below) that it guarantees will have you seeing results in just one week.
