When winter arrives, your lips, skin, and even your hair feel the shift with dry air, cold winds, indoor heat, and low humidity all work together to pull moisture away from your body.
That’s why jojoba oil shines in December more than almost any other botanical ingredient.
Used throughout our lip care line, from butters to scrubs, this golden oil delivers deep moisture, long-lasting softness, and incredible nourishment. But the magic of jojoba doesn’t stop at your lips. Let’s explore what makes this ingredient truly special.
💛 Where Jojoba Oil Comes From (and How It’s Extracted)
Jojoba oil comes from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis) which is a hardy shrub native to the deserts of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.
Despite the harsh climate it thrives in, this plant produces seeds packed with a smooth, golden wax that behaves like a luxurious oil.
How it’s extracted:
- The seeds are gently cold-pressed, similar to how high-end olive oils are made
- This method preserves nutrients like vitamin E and antioxidants
- The result is a pure, golden liquid wax that stays stable, fresh, and incredibly nourishing
This cold-pressing ensures the oil retains its silky texture and all its natural hydrating properties—making it perfect for delicate areas like your lips.
💛 Why Jojoba Oil Is Incredible for Lips
Jojoba oil is unique because it mimics your skin’s natural sebum more closely than any other botanical oil.
That means:
- It absorbs beautifully
- It balances moisture
- It keeps lips soft longer
- It creates a protective barrier without heaviness
Perfect for winter dryness and anyone who wants smooth, kissable lips without greasiness.
💛 Jojoba Oil Benefits for Skin
Jojoba is beloved in skincare because it’s:
✔ Naturally balancing
It helps regulate oil production, making it suitable for dry, normal, and even combination skin.
✔ Deeply moisturizing
It locks in hydration by forming a breathable barrier — ideal in winter.
✔ Soothing & gentle
It calms irritation and helps soften rough patches caused by cold weather.
✔ Packed with antioxidants
Including vitamin E, which supports skin repair and gives a healthy glow.
If your face is feeling tight or dull this month, jojoba oil-based products can offer instant comfort.
💛 Jojoba Oil Benefits for Hair, Too
Yes, jojoba oil is a winter hero for hair as well.
It helps:
- Moisturize dry ends
- Reduce breakage
- Add shine without heaviness
- Soothe a dry, flaky scalp
- Improve softness and manageability
Because it mimics natural scalp oils, it’s especially good for reviving winter hair that feels brittle or static-prone.
