Aura Cacia Pure Jojoba Oil – Natural Skin Moisturizer & Carrier Oil
Nature's Most Skin-Identical Oil — Pure Jojoba for Face, Body & Hair
Aura Cacia Pure Jojoba Oil is one of the most versatile and skin-compatible oils in nature. Technically a liquid wax rather than a true oil, jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) closely mimics the skin's own natural sebum — making it uniquely compatible with all skin types, non-comedogenic, and exceptionally stable as both a standalone moisturizer and a carrier oil for essential oil blends.
What's Inside?
Pure Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis) — Jojoba is technically a liquid wax ester, not a traditional oil — which is what makes it so uniquely compatible with human skin. Its molecular structure closely resembles the skin's own natural sebum, allowing it to absorb quickly without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue. Rich in Vitamin E, B vitamins, zinc, and copper, jojoba provides antioxidant protection alongside deep moisturization. It is one of the most shelf-stable carrier oils available, with a virtually indefinite shelf life when stored properly — making it an ideal base for essential oil blends.
Single ingredient: 100% pure jojoba oil. No additives, no fillers, no fragrance.
What Does It Support?
- Deep skin moisturization — mimics natural sebum for quick absorption without greasiness
- Non-comedogenic facial care — won't clog pores; suitable for acne-prone and oily skin
- Skin barrier support — Vitamin E and wax esters help protect and strengthen the skin's natural barrier
- Hair and scalp nourishment — conditions hair, reduces frizz, and supports a healthy scalp
- Makeup removal — gently dissolves makeup including waterproof formulas without stripping the skin
- Essential oil carrier — odorless, stable, and long shelf life make it the gold standard carrier oil for essential oil blending

Face moisturizer: Apply 2–3 drops to clean, slightly damp skin morning or evening. Absorbs quickly without greasiness — suitable for all skin types including oily and acne-prone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is jojoba oil really an oil?
Technically, no — jojoba is a liquid wax ester, not a true triglyceride oil. This is what makes it so uniquely compatible with human skin: its molecular structure closely resembles the skin's own sebum. This also gives it exceptional shelf stability — unlike most plant oils, jojoba does not go rancid easily and has a virtually indefinite shelf life when stored properly.
Can I use this on oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes — jojoba is one of the few oils that is genuinely non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores. Because it mimics the skin's natural sebum, it can actually help regulate oil production over time. It's one of the most recommended oils for oily and acne-prone skin types.
Can I use jojoba as a carrier oil for essential oils?
Yes — jojoba is considered one of the best carrier oils for essential oil blending. It is odorless (won't compete with your essential oil's scent), absorbs well into the skin, and has exceptional shelf stability. It won't go rancid and spoil your blend the way some other carrier oils can.
Is this safe for hair use?
Yes — jojoba is excellent for hair and scalp. It conditions without weighing hair down, helps reduce frizz, and can be used as a scalp treatment to support a healthy scalp environment. Use sparingly — a little goes a long way, especially on fine hair.
