How to know if jojoba oil is pure
Jojoba oil for skin and hair| Dr Dray
Timecodes:
well hey guys I hope your week is going
well so I wanted to film another video
talking about another type of oil
because you guys really seem to enjoy
these videos and different oils and
every time I do an oil video I had
questions about other oils so today I'm
going to talk all about jojoba oil
because this is one that is popular in a
lot of products and skincare and it make
questions about jojoba oil is a clear
golden liquid that is extracted from the
seeds of the hope plant which goes by
the name
Simone Xia Qin Yun sis ever see that on
ingredient labels no you're dealing with
jojoba oil this is a plant that grows in
the desert of the south throughout the
Southwest United States as well as
Mexico it's a very hearty plant and the
oil extracted from the seeds is
wonderful to consider as an oil to
consider in skincare because it is very
Hardy and resistant to oxidative
degradation it's very stable using oils
in your skin hair oils and skin care
products and putting oils on the skin is
nice and that oils are emollients they
help soften the skin and part kind of a
suppleness to the skin and bug oils
namely plant oils some of the limitation
and that they degrade they are dim they
then go oxidative damage and in doing so
can become highly irritating and caused
problems so for example a lot of people
who with acne prone skin may be fearful
of a lot of plant oils and the reason is
that when these ingredients in the plant
oils start to degrade can be irritating
and that irritation can trigger an acne
flare jojoba oil is pretty stable unlike
many other plant oils and less likely to
do that a side note about using oils in
skin care though and I always encourage
you guys rather than doing just the
plain oils on your skin although that is
super popular to select products that
are formulated with the oils because the
products contain antioxidants
preservatives they
that will protect the oil from that
degradation while you also get the
benefits of the oil so that is always
you know my recommendation is choose a
moisturizer that has the oils in it
along with the preservatives to keep
them safe but jojoba oil on its own it
is superior to you many other plant oils
and then it is pretty pretty Hardy and
pretty resistant to that oxidative
damage so stability is less of an issue
and therefore it's an attractive
ingredient in products and you will see
it used it's been used traditionally as
well as commonly in current everyday
practice as a skin lubricant and as a
hair conditioner and one things that you
will commonly see advertised is that
jojoba oil is similar to sebum I think
that alarms a lot of people with acne
because they know that their disease
part of what causes their disease is
excessive sebum production so why would
they want to go putting an oil on their
skin that is like sebum here's the deal
with that what I'll explain to you
sebum the oil that our skin makes its
plays a key role in the health of our
skin even though it contributes to acne
it makes their compounds in sebum that
coat the surface of the skin and are
necessary and essential for the
integrity of your skin barrier and one
such ingredient is something called wax
esters they really help you know come
out of the surface of the skin and and
kind of make a nice coating on the skin
and really just help with the skin
barrier integrity that is a key point of
having skin is to serve as a barrier
it's one of the key one of the key
functions of our skin is to serve as a
barrier and those oils that are
deposited on the surface of the skin can
help in ensuring the integrity of the
skin barrier and a key aspect of
everyday skin physiology now acne as a
disease is a process in which excessive
sebum production other compounds in the
sebum they are broken down by the
bacteria within the oil gland and those
other compounds are inflammatory and
that is part of what contributes your
acne it's not the wax esters and it's
not the actual you know function of
sebum coming out on the surface of the
skin and doing the skin barrier
preparing thing that is problematic in
acting so don't be alarmed by jojoba oil
in the in the claim that it is similar
to sebum don't be alarmed without may
make it problematic for acne it's a it's
that it has a high composition of
something called wax esters so it's
really a good repair option for any skin
disorder where there is an inherent skin
barrier defect skin disorders like that
that have an inherent skin barrier
defect include things like acne acne is
not only a problem of excessive oil
production and plugging up at the pore
but there's also an impaired skin
barrier that can lead to dryness
irritation irritation leads to
inflammation which further drives the
acne so jojoba well does wax esters they
help in restoring the skin barrier so
it's a good choice in in that situation
also rosacea show there is a skin
barrier defect that leads to flares of
rosacea dryness dull skin etc and eczema
by a definition is a disease of it is
impaired skin bearer in which you will
have dryness and irritation so these are
these are considerations behind the use
of jojoba oil in skin care products also
seborrhoeic dermatitis you know
seborrhoeic dermatitis there's a skin
barrier defect there and jojoba oil has
actually been you know he's actually an
interest in seborrheic dermatitis for
helping in terms of some the dry kind of
flaky patches and as an ingredient it's
also appealing to consumers seeking a
more natural natural approach so it's
wonderful not only in skin care products
because in the wax ester components that
can be helpful for the skin barrier but
it's also nice in hair care products
shampoos conditioners straighteners
relaxers because it helps you coat the
hair shaft and it helps to cut down on
hair breakage dryness brittleness and in
kind of coating the air shaft it also
can reduced to a certain extent
something called high growth fatigue
would you all have heard me mention in
other videos before which is basically
kind of the influx and efflux of water
into the cuticle of the hair that leads
leaves the hair ruffled and damaged and
the hair cuticle ruffled and damaged and
susceptible to breakage so cutting the
hair with oils prior to you already
getting hair wet can really cut down on
can cut down on some of that damage so
useful in that sense and you'll find it
you know in a lot of things because it
is stable it's appealing to manufacture
so they'll put it in only shampoos
conditioners face washes and
moisturizers skin care products body
care products lotions you'll also see it
in a lot of fragrances and perfumes is
kind of a carrier oil to the fragrance
oils to the essential oils so you'll see
it in that manner you know a lot of
perfumes might have a hobo oil in it and
you will also see it in nail care
products I mean everything it's it's
pretty commonly used some of the science
behind the use of jojoba oil and skin
care products comes from looking at
animal models specifically mouse models
have demonstrated that jojoba oil
actually actually has antioxidant
properties that impart benefit to the
skin a limitation in the animal models
however is that animals namely mice
their their skin is much thinner than
human skin so whether or not those
antioxidants get in to our skin and
function well it's hard to say for sure
but we do have that data we also have
some some data in lab models of skin
cell the human skin cells kind of in a
dish showing that jojoba oil it's
promising for accelerating wound healing
so it seems like maybe in an oil that
would be nice
applied to a wound although we don't
have data to support that fully but that
is where it's of interest in can wound
closure and healing and skin
regeneration
however jojoba oil you know it's natural
but all that is natural is not
necessarily safe there are reports of
irritant contact dermatitis and allergic
contact dermatitis too jojoba oil not
super common but does occur so I'm going
to tell you guys that there are reports
of irritation in that scalp too jojoba
oil now there are reports of allergic
contact dermatitis
to Hoebel and conditioners as well as
body moisturizers meaning when people
use a hobo oil they they've become
sensitized to it so when they use
products that have a home oil in it they
will develop a rash as as a result of
that sensitivity but it's not a super
common I don't there are a ton of
reports but they they do exist so be
aware about you know any ingredient can
cause irritation tag dermatitis and
allergic contact dermatitis nothing is
foolproof
but however oil does seem to be pretty
safe because it is such a stable well it
is less likely to degrade and its
aggregation of oils that really makes
them really makes them a loose cannon
for developing irritation and allergy
and sensitivity so that makes our will
possibly a little safer but it's not
foolproof so yeah you know personally
I've tried to hope oil on my hair here
and there just to see like what the hype
is about I also try to hope of oil as an
oil cleanser I like to use in a well
oiled on my face to break up
water-resistant sunscreen mascara dirt
pollutants etc from throughout the day
and then I wash it off with a gentle
cleanser afterwards I don't leave oils
sitting on my skin at all and I've tried
it with a hobo oil and it does work
pretty well I think I talked about that
in my video reviewing oil cleansers I
think I've talked about that maybe it
was argan oil I use but I've also used
jojoba and it works well too and you'll
see it in a lot of oil cleansers sold
commercially a lot of commercial oil
cleansers will have a hobo oil in them
so it works well the main difference
between just using plain olive oil and
using those oil cleansers is that the
oil cleansers the oil the dedicated oil
cleansers that you buy commercially
often have a little bit of a
emulsifying agent such that when you put
a little water on the skin it'll form a
lather so that's kind of the main
difference between the two but you know
they honestly work really well
and dissolving the dirt and stuff either
they dedicate a while or the or the
commercial cleansing oil so that's why I
can tell you about the hobo oil I hope
it answers all of your questions I need
some very good oil but not without not
without risk so if you liked this video
give it a thumbs up share it with your
friends and as always don't forget
sunscreen and subscribe I'll talk to you
guys
