Americas - Jojoba

Jojoba is a small shrub from the desert regions of the southwest United States and northern Mexico, nicknamed “desert gold” because of its incredible resistance to heat and drought in these arid regions. Extracted from its seeds, its oil is used in traditional medicine to heal wounds and moisturise the skin.

In cosmetics, jojoba oil is prized for its capacity to nourish the skin without leaving any oily feel.
