I've been reading bad things about jojoba oil, a new additive. Does this contain jojoba oil?

Yes, Skin so soft does contain jojoba seed oil (simmondsia chinensis). It also contains additives I have never heard of: Isopropyl palminate, dicapryl Adipate, Tocopheryl acetate and Diethyhexyl sodium sulfosuccinate. I only use the product as a mosquito repellent and it does a great job. I can understand why mosquitoes take offense to these ingredients, but I am a lot bigger than a mosquito.Between the bad effects of jojoba oil and disease carrying mosquitoes, I will take my chances with Skin so Soft.

What bad things have you heard about jojoba oil? It's a natural plant oil, very similar to the structure of our skin's own oil. I can't imagine what the negative is. Tocopheryl adipate is vitamin E. Dicapryl adipate is a coconut oil ester, and isopropyl palmitate is a fatty acid isolated from palm oil. Terrifying. Your real concern hear is fragrance. If you are concerned about phthalates and allergies, research or avoid. But jojoba? C'mon. Learn to google.

Jojoba oil absorbs fast so skin doesn't feel oily about a minute after application; it doesn't block the pores or cause blemishes on the parts of my body I put it on, but I don't put it on my face because my face isn't dry. Since I no longer have oily skin, I can't answer whether it will remove or even worsen blemishes.

I'm getting ready to order the avocado oil to alternate with NOW jojoba oil... LOVE the jojoba! Almond oil seems lighter to me and does not penetrate and moisturize for an extended period of time. I think trying avocado and jojoba will allow you to determine which works best for what... Enjoy!!

Hi Bernadette! I make a lot of my own skin and hair products, and with the research I've done, Jojoba oil can possibly stimulate hair growth, especially in combination with Essential Oils. I am a doTerra Wellness Advocate, and I've seen lots of hair thickening and growth come from using Rosemary. Just be sure to use an organic, 100% pure (with no fillers) essential oil. Unfortunately... if the essential oil is very inexpensive, it has fillers. The smell should be strong and absolutely heavenly :-), and only a few drops to blend with the oil and cover the whole scalp. But Jojoba oil alone can possibly help with hair growth. I would massage it gently into the scalp and let sit for at least 30 minutes before washing with a gentle shampoo. But for best results leave overnight, then wash in the morning. Keep in mind that results are never overnight. And if no hair growth, rest assured you are slowing or preventing hair loss and creating a much healthier head of hair. Good luck!

Hello, We apologize for any inconvenience.The Swanson Vitamins price for the Jojoba Oil by Desert Essence is $8.89, but as you noticed we too have the incorrect price per ounce. We will forward that to the appropriate department to correct the error. Thank you for pointing this out to us! Kally N

The jojoba oil should be clear with no debris in it. However, it does have a funny smell.

It probably got cold during shipping. Warm it up under hot tap water and see if it clears up. Jojoba oil solidifies at cold temperatures. Throw it in the fridge and you'll see what i mean.

Good question. I just took the manufacturers word that it's organic. Compared to the jojoba oil I used before, I know there is a SIGNIFICANT difference in the smell and texture. I also look at the results. Leven Rose jojoba oil has not broken me out one time and I have sensitive skin. I've been wearing it alone and under makeup for a month with no breakouts what so ever. I do believe that the product is organic. When I looked up the website, they talk about the process and how they press the oil. I hope this helps :)

I agree About olive oil, I do not have any experience with almond oil. Jojoba oil is not as greasy and believe me if anything was going to cause breakouts, it would happen to me and it never has with this oil. I only use oil on my face and have tried many types, this is one of my favorites:) I hope this helps.

For some reason, Amazon has listed my purchase of Jojoba oil as Argan oil. Nonetheless, I assume the production for both is similar. From the answered questions section of the Jojoba product listing: "Okay, I contacted the company and this is what they said: "Our Jojoba oil is organic, but our facility is not certified USDA Organic. This is something we are working on, but it is a timely and costly process, so at the moment, all we can say is that it is organic. The plants are grown organically, and no chemicals are introduced in the extraction process, so the oil is 100% pure. I will take their word on it for this one. Especially since I've been reading through the reviews on this and people with sensitive skin are saying that it is pure. I have not tried the... Read More Annelle B. Secks answered on March 7, 2014:" I provided a comment there, as well, saying mostly that I'm impressed with the fact that the bottle and dropper are both made from glass rather than plastic. I am assuming that, because they spend more money on better packaging, they're also likely to be selling a higher-quality product. But I have no way of knowing for sure.

NO! It is not Oil based. Ingredients are: BUTYLATED HYDROXYTOLUENE (UNII: 1P9D0Z171K) POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL...note the "Hydro" in Hydroxytoluene...these are water based. The skin and nails are awfully water proof, so wont get to the fungus. You need something oil based (Jojoba oil is the oil of choice right now)...go see your podiatrist

I don't really have a great answer but the ingredients say: 100% Pure virgin organic cold press Jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis) I promise if you buy this product you won't be sorry. It's great for hair, skin and nails. I love it!

Yes it does. Under other ingredients soybean oil is listed first and there is a separate warning that says "Contains Soy.

Did you store it in the fridge or a cool area? Jojoba oil, at least 100% jojoba, should solidify or get cloudy if placed in cooler temps. That's how you know its pure.

A couple of years ago the mineral oil was not listed in the contents. It was always there; but the former owners of the company didn't reveal that. It was one of those "secret ingredients." Although it is a different product, Coca Cola doesn't tell people the secret ingredients in their bottles. Anyways, the current company says that O'Keefe's isn't "Oil based." That isn't the same as saying "oil-free." But, a lot of us were fooled thinking that "Not oil based" really meant oil-free. At least, the O'Keefe's Foot Cream is a great, bleeding crack healer.

Definitely yes! Jojob is one of a few carrier oils that work well for beard oil. I use this to make beard oil for my business.
