An “all-purpose” liquid wax
Although it is an oil, Jojoba vegetable oil is actually a liquid wax made up of over 98% fatty acid esters and long-chain unsaturated fatty alcohols. Jojoba, a shrub more commonly known as "wild hazel", "beer bush" or even "coffee tree", is native to the deserts of South America. It is capable of withstanding total drought for more than a year. The Indians already used this oil for its nutritional properties (taste similar to that of coffee when the seeds are roasted), curative and beautifying properties. Jojoba oil has been rediscovered to be used today in pharmacy, cosmetics but also as a lubricant for cars, leather, etc. Note that it contains a natural sun filter allowing light protection of the skin (similar to protection 5).
