Using 100% Pure Jojoba Oil on the Face

Yes, you can absolutely use 100% pure Jojoba oil directly on your face for both makeup removal and skin nourishment. Jojoba oil is highly compatible with human skin because its structure is very similar to our skin's natural sebum. This allows it to absorb well without clogging pores, making it an excellent choice for facial care.

It is effective at dissolving makeup and impurities, and it leaves the skin feeling moisturized and balanced.

Choosing Between Jojoba Oil Types

Based on the products available, you've likely seen variations like Golden, Clear, and Yellow Jojoba oil. The main difference lies in the processing:

• Jojoba Oil (Golden - Deodorized) and Jojoba Oil (Yellow - Deodorized): These types retain more of their natural color and potentially more of the plant's beneficial minor compounds compared to the clear version. They are deodorized to remove the natural nutty scent, making them pleasant for cosmetic use.
• Jojoba Oil (Clear - Deodorized): This oil has been further processed to be colorless and odorless. While still an excellent emollient with similar core benefits, some of the natural phytonutrients present in the golden/yellow versions might be reduced.

For direct application on the face, especially for maximum natural benefits and nourishment, Jojoba Oil (Golden - Deodorized) or Jojoba Oil (Yellow - Deodorized) are generally recommended. However, Jojoba Oil (Clear - Deodorized) is also perfectly suitable and effective for makeup removal and moisturizing if you prefer a completely clear and scent-free oil.

All three types found, Jojoba Oil (Golden - Deodorized), Jojoba Oil (Clear - Deodorized), and Jojoba Oil (Yellow - Deodorized), are described as suitable for direct skin application at 1-100% concentration.
