Organic Jojoba Oil
Everything you need to know about this ingredient in lip care.
Jojoba oil is technically a liquid wax ester extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis), native to the American Southwest. What makes jojoba remarkable is that its molecular structure closely resembles human sebum — the natural oil your skin produces. This means it integrates seamlessly with your skin's own moisture system, providing hydration that feels natural rather than greasy. Jojoba is rich in vitamins A, D, and E, along with essential fatty acids that support cell regeneration.
Scientific Backing
A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology confirmed jojoba oil's anti-inflammatory properties, showing it reduced skin inflammation markers in clinical testing. Research in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences has documented jojoba's wound-healing properties, attributed to its high content of gadoleic acid. The wax ester structure of jojoba has been shown in dermatological studies to form a non-occlusive barrier that allows skin to breathe while retaining moisture — unlike petroleum which creates a fully occlusive seal.
How Numbrrrz Uses Organic Jojoba Oil
We use certified organic jojoba oil as the secondary moisturizing agent in our formula. It complements coconut oil perfectly: while coconut oil delivers quick hydration, jojoba provides sustained moisture by mimicking the lip's natural oils. The combination ensures your lips stay hydrated for hours, not minutes.
