JOJOBA OIL

Jojoba oil comes from the jojoba plant originating in the Sonoran Desert. It comes from the bean - a golden, odorless, non-allergic liquid wax.

Jojoba oil is a lubricant - it activates the formation of new skin cells, helps prevent wrinkles, regulates moisture balance and acts as a natural preservative. It is antibacterial and anti-fungal.

Essential oils are the rejuvenating, oxygenating and immune defense properties of plants. Essential oils are readily absorbed through the skin, and affect the internal organs and systems of the body by external use. Let these gentle, natural gems of nature work with you and your loved ones for disease prevention and treatment of chronic mind, body, and spirit maladies.
