We love all-round multitasker, jojoba, which is found in many clean beauty wonders. Beneficial to all skin types, jojoba is even the oil of choice for those prone to blemishes, as it has antibacterial properties and closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum. Because of this, jojoba is readily absorbed into the skin, is non-pore clogging and helps balance the production of your natural sebum. It also contains linoleic acid, which accounts for its anti-inflammatory, acne reduction and moisture retention properties. Plus, it can be used to help manage so many skin problems – including psoriasis – and even is great for hair!

So where can you find it? Read on below for some of the jojoba-rich favourites from the Clean Beauty Collective line-up…

Aleph Beauty Serum / Primer

Once you’ve tried Aleph Beauty’s Serum / Primer you’ll be hooked – the benefits it delivers really are that good. The pocket-sized marvel is formulated with the naturally anti-inflammatory Tsubaki Oil, a long-time favourite of both Japanese and Chinese medicinal traditions and a huge benefit for sensitive/rosacea skin types in particular. This treasured ingredient is reportedly the secret behind the ancient Geisha’s flawless skin texture and it’s known for promoting healthy, natural collagen synthesis and improving skin’s elasticity. The serum is also infused with Bluebird hibiscus plant extracts, macadamia oil and the blissfully oil-free jojoba, along with milk thistle extract, Kakadu Plum seed oil and East Indian sandalwood. Working at a cellular level to counter the natural weakening of your skin’s metabolism and a definite player in the skincare as well as makeup category, this primer’s blend makes it very easy to love.

Trilogy Hemphip Balancing Oil

Jojoba also plays very well with other oils, including the natural beauty powerhouse, hemp. Trilogy Hemphip Balancing Oil is a certified organic replenishing facial beauty oil designed to nourish and balance combination skin types. The much-loved Kiwi brand’s proprietary oil blend is formulated with hemp seed oil to balance, omega-rich rosehip, our hero jojoba, and grape seed oils to nourish. It also contains lemon myrtle to help reduce shine, and salicylic acid to mildly exfoliate dull and rough-looking skin for a clearer complexion, making it a superstar for combination and oilier skin types. It’s also fragrance-free and vegan friendly, which gets a big tick from us.

Nuori Protect+ Facial Cream

We love ultra-luxe, blissfully clean brand Nuori, and their amazing Protect+ Facial Cream has jojoba in the mix. A highly concentrated cream that delivers potent doses of lipids and antioxidants for lasting moisture, comfort and barrier protection. It also gives you daily protection against environmental stress and helps prevent visible signs of collagen breakdown and inflammation. Jojoba oil, in combination with botanical squalane, helps restore skin’s natural lipid balance. Sweet almond and rosehip oils, rich in essential fatty acids 3, 6 and 9, bring forth a smoother and more youthful-looking skin. Vitamin B3 is also thoughtfully included, to reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone and strengthen a weakened barrier.

Karen Murrell True Love Lip Pencil

Because jojoba isn’t just a bonus in skincare, we present this beautiful Karen Murrell True Love lip pencil in a signature red that celebrates Karen’s love for her craft. The perfect partner to our favourite Karen Murrell natural lipstick shade, it will define, protect and love your lips, while keeping your lipstick perfectly in place. It can even be used alone for a long-lasting matte finish. Made from natural and nourishing ingredients including jojoba seed oil, candelilla, carnauba wax and Vitamin E, it’s super easy to apply and even has a handy brush on one end which helps with blending to create a perfectly defined lip.

Tailor Skincare Balm

A winter must-have that belongs in every makeup kit and handbag. Tailor Skincare’s Balm is a glorious multitasker that we can’t get enough of. At its heart is jojoba seed oil, while Vitamin E nourishes and coconut oil protects. You can use it wherever you need a little extra hydration like lips, cuticles and dry skin patches, and it also makes for a glossy skin highlight when you are in need of a boost. Also, an absolute beauty steal at a great price point, you definitely need more than one of these little sticks of goodness in your life!
