Jojoba in Australia

Native peoples of the arid regions of America and Mexico used jojoba as a hair and skin conditioner as well as in medicine. It was reported to ease conditions of the urinary tract, facilitate childbirth, heal wounds, to relieve eye soreness and be eaten as a food.

Scientific research during the 1970’s found golden jojoba to be superior to all other carriers for skin care products because its structure is remarkably similar to the natural wax esters in human skin sebum. The skin accepts jojoba as its own sebum. Jojoba is unique in the plant kingdom.

Jojoba plants were selected and acclimatised throughout inland Australia over twenty years and large commercial plantations now across five States. Australia’s jojoba producers own and control their jojoba and their jojocare brand all the way from the plantation to the pack in your hand – Jojocare is their guarantee of Australian origin, quality and consistency. Buying from the source now makes it possible for everyone to enjoy the many benefits of golden jojoba.
