DESERT WHALE JOJOBA OIL

WHAT IS DESERT WHALE JOJOBA OIL?

Desert Whale Jojoba Oil is a natural, nourishing liquid wax (called an oil), rich in

Omega-9 fatty acids and fatty alcohols, that provides great benefits for beautiful

and healthy skin, hair and nails.

This pure, high quality “oil” is derived from the seed of the jojoba shrub –

Simmondsia chinensis, also known as coffeeberry or wild hazel – a desert plant

native to the southwestern U.S. and northwest Mexico (Sonoran Desert). Designed

by nature to provide continuous nourishment and energy to a young jojoba plant

in the arid desert environment, jojoba seed oil features high levels of wax esters

(lipids) not found in any other plant-based oil in the world.

Unlike the lipids found in traditional natural oils (triglycerides), jojoba’s wax esters

have a molecular structure made of long-chain Omega-9 fatty acids and fatty

alcohols. The unique structure gives jojoba oil an incredibly smooth non-greasy

texture – plus better performance; absorption, stability and slip properties; and

versatility. Desert Whale Jojoba Oil has a long shelf life and resists decomposition

due to heat, high pressure, high shear or exposure to air.

In addition to wax esters, jojoba oil is known to naturally contain vitamin E and

phytosterols. Known as biomimetic lipids, jojoba wax esters and phytosterols are

biochemically similar to – and mimic – lipids found naturally in the skin and scalp

(sebum and the skin barrier).

This oil also has healing and anti-inflammatory properties, promotes rejuvenation and may help flush out oil and debris in clogged pores, while discouraging overproduction of sebum and minimizing the appearance of pores.

The oil is silky smooth, luxurious and lightweight. It glides on smoothly and absorbs quickly with no greasy after feel for deeply nourished skin and hair.

It is an ideal ingredient for nearly all types of formulas. It helps a formula apply easily without dragging, and is an excellent carrier oil to dilute essential oils. Desert Whale Jojoba Oil is available as a clear golden or colorless fluid. It can be easily incorporated into skin care, hair care, sun care and color cosmetic products using traditional methods and does not require any special processing.

WHAT ELSE IS GOOD TO KNOW?

Desert Whale Jojoba Oil is vegan, free of gluten and GMOs, certified organic and Ecocert/COSMOS. It is sustainably, responsibly and securely sourced from Vantage’s own farms in the U.S. and Argentina. Production of this oil helps support local communities while preserving the desert ecosystem. The oil is made using an eco-friendly extraction method (solvent-free crushing) and cold-pressed.

Jojoba oil has been used for centuries by Native Americans for its healing and nourishing properties. It was introduced to the beauty market in the 1970s by founders of the Desert Whale Jojoba Company as a replacement for sperm whale oil to assist in the “Save the Whales” movement.

Results of an Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) analysis that measures a product’s anti-oxidant power (in-vitro): Desert Whale Jojoba Oil neutralizes free radicals caused by both environmental aggressors (extrinsic stresses)

and natural skin processes (intrinsic stresses) -- specifically, hydroxyl radicals (caused by UV, pollution and inflammation) and hypochlorite radicals (caused by inflammation).
