After recently learning about Skin Deep: Cosmetic Safety Database, I have been having a field day in researching health and beauty products in every category! Coming across multipurpose pure jojoba oil was just too perfect! I immediately went out and got some!
Desert Essence Rocks! No toxins either!

What is Jojoba Oil?

Desert Essence Pure Jojoba Oil is a pure and natural plant extract that will penetrate and moisturize your skin without leaving any oily residue. This luxurious oil can be used to remove makeup and to cleanse clogged pores, leaving your skin clean. Soften your hands and feet by massaging them with Jojoba Oil after bathing. Treat your hair and scalp to a rejuvenating massage with Jojoba Oil – especially good for moisturizing the scalp and in preventing dry skin or dandruff. This makes it suitable for even the most sensitive skin. May be used as a leave in hair treatment while in the sun or as an aftershave moisturizer.

I planned on using jojoba oil as a facial moisturizer, eye make-up remover, a replacement to lotion and conditioner for my hair. Well, all uses went according to plan except for the conditioner.
