Contact SupplierWe are offering jojoba oil.
Jojoba oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the crushed bean of the jojoba shrub (simmondsia chinenis). The jojoba shrub is native to the sonoran desert of northwestern mexico and neighboring regions in arizona and southern california. It grows in dense stands throughout that region. The woody evergreen shrub may reach 15 ft (4.5 m) in height. Jojoba has flat gray-green leathery leaves and a deep root system that make it well adapted to desert heat and drought. Jojoba has a life span of 100–200 years, depending on environmental conditions. Jojoba grows best in areas with 10–18 in (25–45 cm) of annual rainfall where temperatures seldom fall below 25°f (-4°c) for more than a few hours at night. It can grow on many types of soils, including porous rocks, in slightly acid to alkaline soils, and on mountain slopes or in valleys.
