Jojoba Oil: Jojoba oil is extracted from the crushed seeds of Simmondsia Chinensis, a plant that grows spontaneously in the intense heat and dryness of desert environments such as those found in Arizona, California, the south of Australia and the northwestern portion of Mexico. This triglyceride contains linoleic acid, oleic acid and saturated fatty acids. It is a deep penetrating moisturizer that leaves skin soft and smooth. Jojoba oil is often called "Liquid Gold in the Desert."
