Jojoba
Jojoba oil (pronounced ho-HO-ba) is one of nature’s most skin-friendly moisturisers — so friendly, in fact, that your skin thinks it made it. At Made in Hemp, we include jojoba oil in our face creams and nourishing face oil because it offers a rare combination of deep hydration and lightweight feel, making it ideal for all skin types, especially sensitive or acne-prone skin.
What Is Jojoba Oil?
Technically a liquid wax ester (not a true oil), jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds of the jojoba shrub (Simmondsia chinensis), native to arid regions of North America. What makes jojoba oil unique is that its molecular structure closely resembles the sebum produced by human skin — allowing it to moisturise without clogging pores or disrupting your skin’s natural balance.
Jojoba oil is naturally rich in:
Vitamin E – antioxidant and healing
B-complex vitamins – help repair and protect
Long-chain fatty acids – deeply nourishing but non-greasy
Minerals like zinc and copper – support healthy skin function
Skin Benefits of Jojoba Oil
This multitasking ingredient offers a range of gentle yet powerful skin benefits:
Balances oil production – mimics skin’s sebum, helping regulate overactive or underactive oil glands
Deeply hydrates – penetrates skin to moisturise without residue
Soothes sensitive or inflamed skin – ideal for redness, eczema, or acne
Protects and repairs – high in antioxidants that help defend against environmental stress
Non-comedogenic – won’t clog pores, making it safe for breakout-prone skin
Why We Use It
We include jojoba oil in our facial care range because it works in harmony with the skin, offering hydration without heaviness and nourishment without triggering sensitivity. It’s especially ideal for formulas that need to support:
Skin barrier repair
Moisture balance for both dry and oily skin types
A lightweight, breathable finish in everyday skincare
It also enhances absorption of other botanical ingredients like hemp seed oil, hyaluronic acid, and calendula extract.
