Benefits of Jojoba Oil
The Jojoba Company was founded in 2008 by planting their first crop of jojoba on the family estate. Since then the natural beauty company has grown with an amazing range natural skin and body care products with a strong focus on anti-aging and skin health.
Jojoba Oil is in fact not even an oil but a liquid wax ester with the same properties as our skins natural sebum. There are many benefits of Jojoba Oil, it’s packed with vitamins, enriched with essential fatty acids and literally has endless uses.
I was lucky enough to catch up with co-founder Vicki Engsall to hear all about the companies journey of natural skincare.

Vicki, thanks for joining us! So tell us, what were your intentions and inspirations in starting the brand and how has it grown throughout the years?
I was recommended to use jojoba throughout my pregnancy as the safest thing to use to moisturize and guard against stretch marks and I became addicted! But I could only buy it in tiny little brown bottles that lasted me only 2 weeks (I guess I was a little heavy handed with it but I loved it!). My Dad planted jojoba on his farm in Yenda in South Eastern NSW 14 years ago. He was one of the first farmers in Australia to plant it. It took him 7 years to yield his first crop.
My original intentions were purely to offer jojoba in larger sized bottles that were pretty and beautiful. Once learning about how wonderful jojoba is as a skin care ingredient, I realized that we absolutely had to have a full skin care range based around this beautiful and unique liquid. So The Jojoba Company was born and we developed a full range of 20 products which has now grown to 26 and we are looking to launch 3 new products next year.
What is Jojoba?
Jojoba is a shrub that evolved in the harsh conditions of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona US. It is very unique as it is the only known plant on earth to produce golden liquid wax instead of oil. The liquid wax that jojoba produces is identical to the liquid wax found in young, healthy human skin so it has a perfect affinity with the skin so it able to balance, heal and soothe skin and at the same time being hypoallergenic. As we age, the liquid wax in our skin begins to diminish until, by about the age of 50, it has gone completely. Jojoba is the only known plant source of liquid wax so by applying jojoba to the skin, you are putting back what age has taken away.
The other amazing thing about jojoba is that it is able to penetrate the skin to a deeper level than oils and whatever is added to jojoba is carried deep down with it. So by adding vitamins and antioxidants to jojoba, skin is gaining great benefits as it is reaching the deeper levels of the skin where new healthy cells are generated.

If you were to give advice to women starting a business what would that be??
Follow your passion. You must genuinely believe in your product to succeed. Our business started from a fantastic ingredient, NOT a business idea/venture. I didn’t wake up one morning and decide to start a skin care range. I discovered Jojoba and it all went from there. You must believe in your product!
What should consumers know about natural vs. artificial skin care?
We know that chemicals can enter our blood stream through the skin so why would you choose to use artificial skin care if you can get the same, if not better results with natural skin care?
Natural skin care actually helps the skin to become healthy, much like eating the right food makes your body healthy. Artificial skin care may give your skin the moisture etc that it needs but it may not necessarily be healthy. Healthy skin glows. Our products have been tested for their efficacy and the results our natural products have achieved are really amazing. For example, our Absolute serum which is 98% natural is proven to decrease crow’s feet and frown lines by 27% and increase skin elasticity by 19% in one month!
The Jojoba Company have a wonderful range of products check them out here!
The philosophy of The Jojoba Company is ‘ Beauty is in our nature‘ – how does this carry over into your everyday life?
I am a natural nut! I start each day with my green smoothie and try to eat unprocessed and organic foods most of the time. I regularly see a naturopath as a means of preventing illness and keeping healthy rather than visiting a doctor. I truly believe that Beauty is in our nature we just need to be aware of it and take the opportunities nature offers to us.

Thanks so much for introducing us to Vicki and jojoba oil. These products look like the do an awful lot for the skin. Many of us don’t take good enough care of our skin until the damage is already done.
I had no idea Jojoba Oil had so many benefits. I have acne prone skin and my kids suffer from eczema so I am definitely going to be ordering some of the Jojoba Company products to try out on my family. It might be exactly what we need since it is so similar to our skin.
I love skin care and beauty products. Never seen this brand before but I love everything with Natural Oil like coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, etc! Because these oils offer so many great benefits to our skin
I have not heard of Jojoba oil before. This sounds like a great natural product. I am trying to use more natural products, it’s so much better for your skin in the long run instead of chemicals.
I love Jojoba products, but I haven’t tried the oil, yet. I like using products made of natural ingredients, so I will check this out. My kids have eczema and I think this oil will work better than OTC creams.
I have been using a beauty oil from this company and I love it. Jojoba oil is amazing as a beauty oil, I love using it on my face and nails.
WOW – I’ve never heard of it and it looks pretty cool. I’d love to try Jojoba. I bet it does make a great cleanser – it looks like it has so many great properties. Considering that it’s a great microbacterial, I think it would be a hep for any problem skin
I have never tried then before, but they seem interested! I am always searching for a new skin care product. I have very oily skin and I breakout very easily so I am always nervous to try new things.
I have tried jojoba oil in my hair mix but not this product. This is a great interview and I agree that we all should follow our passions.
Thanks for commenting Cynthia I’m glad you enjoyed this posts. You are so right and the amount of people that do simply use sunscreen is crazy. Natural products have so many benefits for our skin!
That’s so great Felicita. Let me know how you go after trying them! I had teenage acne and the jojoba oil reduced some scarring and always leaves my skin feeling so soft!
Thanks for commenting Rika! I’m glad you already use natural products and oils they really do have so many benefits 🙂 is there any other products you can’t live without?
Thanks for reading Jennifer. Definitely many more benefits in natural skin care. I’ve slowly been making the switch in both beauty products and cleaning products. A little tip is, when something has finished replace it with a more natural version that way you are not overwhelmed and you don’t break the bank! I also stock up on my favourite products when they are on sale!
I’m glad you already use Jojoba products! What are some of our favourites? I think you right , actually check this out: http://www.thejojobacompany.com.au/blogs/before-after all cleared up using jojoba oil! X
Thanks for commenting! I’m so glad you using jojoba oil! It’s great on nails too hey! Have you tried any of their other products?
Thanks for reading Lena, super happy you want to get some jojoba oil! I have a feeling you won’t be disappointed! Liquid gold I tell you, liquid gold 😀
Desires I feel your pain! Before jojoba oil I used kosmea rosehip oil – both seem to work well with oily skin. I’d suggestion testing out a patch of skin on your cheek and rubbing it well.
Wow I literally learned something new! I thought jojoba was an oil but its a wax!! I didnt know but and she is right I cant stand those little tubes of jojoba oil and they are pretty expensive…but so many benefits to it!! I love jojoba!
