Chemically similar to and soluble in human sebum, the skins restorative fluid, making jojoba excellent for skin care: useful not only for oily or acne-prone skin but also helps dry skin conditions. Excellent hair oil and for treating dry scalp conditions.

Warm the oil and massage into the scalp and hair. Wrap in a warm towel and leave for as long as possible (overnight maybe). Apply neat shampoo ( do not use water or get the hair wet) and massage well, then rinse and wash hair as usual. Use on its own or as much as you like in a basic oil blend such as almond or Grapeseed.
