> 3 dayI have very dry flaky skin and this oil is very moisturizing. I love that you can use this oil on your hair and your skin. I also used this oil as a carrier oil in my homemade lip gloss and it works that way as well. As for my hair it’s good on the hair my hair soaks up oil when I put oil in my hair but this oil still makes my hair look nice healthy and moisturized.

> 3 dayNow that Ive used the oil for some time now, I thought Id provide a review. Note that I purchased the Sweet Almond Oil (NOW Foods), the Organic Jojoba Oil (NOW Foods) and KIS essential oils to create my own beard oil. I routinely found beard oils for sale from $10 to $30 for - generally - 1 to 3 ounces of oil. Thats nuts! I figured I could make my own, and several with differing scents. Oh, and I also purchased a set of glass eye dropper-style bottles to hold the oils. The Jojoba Oil is great, and with its moisturizing properties, I decided to combine an ounce of this with an ounce of the Jojoba Oil and a drop or two of an essential oil (the orange essential oil is my favorite). The Almond and Jojoba oils are carrier oils, thus they carry the essential oil in such a way as to keep the essential oil from irritating your skin (if otherwise applied by itself), and allows for moisturizing the skin for hours. Also, the beard oil was just about the right consistency for staying on the skin without running, not too greasy, and very easy to wash off. For a first cut at creating a beard oil, think Ill call this a win. Theres obviously no need to pay big money for something you can easily, and more inexpensively, make yourself.

> 3 dayI use jojoba oil for my hair and scalp and a little goes a long way. It is absolutely worth the price as I’ve been using the same bottle for about a year now. However, I must say that I do use jojoba oil in combination with other oils and my hair is short so I don’t have to use that much.

> 3 dayThis is definitely a good purchase, I use it to lock in moisturize my hair. A little goes a long way. My hair has grown sooo much. I also have noticed my skin is so much nicer since using this after applying castor oil to my face I use a tiny bit of this. Its really good at locking in moisture.

> 3 dayI have nearly used up this entire bottle. I wear it on my hair and I put it on my face. On my hair, it makes it feel really soft and on my face, it is not too greasy. The issue though is the plastic container leaks. I do not know how much of it has been loosed due to leakage but I wish there would be improvement so that I can have more of it where I need it and not on my countertop

> 3 dayThis oil works great. It’s very moisturizing. A little goes a long way, which I like and it works on my sensitive skin. My only complaint is the packaging. When applying the oil it runs down the outside of the bottle and I often pour out too much. Personally I think I dropped would work better.

> 3 dayThis is a review pertaining to 100% Organic Jojoba Oil - no brand in particular. This oil is very versatile. I use it for my skin, hair, to remove stubborn makeup and so forth. --SKIN: It is not heavy, does not break me out and provides much needed moisture. --HAIR: I have lion king hair. My hair is long, wavy/curly and can get a bit frizzy. I apply jojoba oil to my damp hair - on the scalp, ends, and basically all over. This oil definitely reduces my frizzyness and allows for my curls to form beautifully. *Tip for my curly haired gals: after you apply jojoba oil to your damp hair, rest your head on any cloth-like surface or better yet, go to sleep after. (I usually wash my hair at night) After 30 mins or once you wake up in the morning, your hair will be bouncy, curly and definitely NOT frizzy. Girls always ask how I manage to keep my curls in tact. Well, there you go. If you let your hair air dry alone, gravity weighs your hair down since its damp, thus not allowing your curls to form the way they should. *Tip for my foundation lovers: apply a drop of jojoba oil onto med-full coverage foundations prior to applying. It completely removes that caked-up makeup look and provides for a natural, flawless finish. It also allows for my makeup to better adhere to my skin and it lasts longer. I have very oily skin, so do not be afraid of adding oils to your beauty routine. Yes, I still get a bit shiny, but once I blot hello flawless!!! This oil is a must for anyones beauty arsenal. Its so versatile and its VERY inexpensive.

> 3 dayAcne is a sensitive topic for many folks and has had a significant impact on my life. I am proud to say, after 15 years, that I have cured my acne. Jojoba oil has been the primary reason for it. However, I believe that it has been effective as a result of a few steps. The products that I use would be jojoba, lavender (NOW Foods brand), and Exposed Skin Care. My routine: 1. At night, I wash my face with a cleanser (your choice). I then apply Acne Treatment Serum (Exposed Skin Care). 2. Right before going to bed, I apply jojoba oil and lavender oil to my face with a cotton ball. I apply the jojoba first, and then a little bit of lavender. 3. In the morning, I cleanse my face with jojoba oil and apply a hot towel to my face (look up Oil Cleansing Method). I then dry and apply the Moisture Complex (Exposed Skin Care). Ive left out my story of all of the products that Ive used over the years and the research behind why jojoba and lavender actually work with the oils in your skin. However, I want to explain that the Exposed Skin Care line is great, but I only use two of the products (Acne Treatment Serum and Moisture Complex). I feel that when those products run out, I will only use Jojoba and Lavender. Ive also adjusted my diet to exclude sugars except from natual sources but I wont go into the researach behind this either. I also think its important for people to understand, that at first, you may see little red blemishes as a result of starting this routine, but it goes away (for me, it wasnt bad at all). Its sad that this isnt a better known solution. It took me this long to understand that going natural is better. We live in a society that believes that harsh chemicals, applied to our delicate skin, are the only way to cure acne. Its no wonder I suffered, off and on, for 15 years. My hope is that someone out there is reading this and will take advantage of this cost effective way to reduce acne. Please, ask me any questions and I will do my best to respond. I want to help! I know how it is to have acne control your life.

> 3 dayThis oil is perfect for my skin, but serves a different purpose entirely. I have a ton of piercings (ears, lobes, nipples, et cetera), and I have to use specific oils for ear piercing in a different place. I ended up discovering I had a small blowout on my right earlobe due to sizing up to a 1/2 tunnel too quickly, so I got a ton of recommendations online to size down to about a 00, and do daily Jojoba oil rubs 2-3 times a day for about three months to help it heal. This is currently in progress, and its looking better (even though its been only a week). I also ended up having a very bad scenario at the piercing shop I go to, due to an uneducated sub there. They basically tried to lacerate a small bit of keloid scarring on my lowest-right cartilage piercing and applied direct salt to it, essentially inducing chemical burn. It had a nasty large lump on it for almost 4 months afterwards, and all the sea salt soaks they recommended made it angry. I eventually did some research, and gave tea tree oil a shot for that. The scarring and lump went away within two days after one application of 100% undiluted solution. Didnt irritate my skin at all, but I dont recommend it for everyone. I recently gave a 50/50 mixture of jojoba oil and tea tree oil a shot, by applying it to the scarring. It has resurfaced a bit since that, so Ive since switched back to pure tto. This Jojoba oil is amazing, but isnt for every kind of piercing, or maybe it works on different things for different people. Whatever the case may be, its not expensive, and I HIGHLY recommend keeping a bottle around the house for daily, or even weekly use. Dab about 5-6 drops in your hands and rub them together. Apply it to freshly blow-dried hair after a shower with a good conditioner (leave conditioner in for no less than two minutes). Repeat daily for a week, and your hair will become so soft its ridiculous. I gave it a shot and switched off using argan oil for about a week. I got the same results either way. I dont regret my purchase one bit. Get a bottle, as it has a ton of different applications. Seriously. Just look them up. PROS: 1. Has a ton of different uses. 2. The product is inexpensive. 3. Feels great on your skin and has a lot of health/care benefits. 4. You get a decent amount for your money. 5. Helps with minor skin damage from piercings. (THIS IS SUBJECTIVE FROM PERSON TO PERSON!) 6. Has no odor. Unless my sense of smell is shot, then ignore this. :) CONS: 1. Has a (near-noticable) mild grit to it, similar to emu oil. It can feel a bit weird if you notice things like that. 2. Doesnt help with all skin conditions, especially on piercings. 3. May cause irritations if you have an allergy. Do your research beforehand. This product is not hypoallergenic. OVERALL: Would I buy this again? Yes. Is it worth the price for what you get? Absolutely.
