  • May not be suitable for very acne-prone skin in high concentrations

Science: Jojoba oil has a long history of safe use in cosmetics and is well-tolerated by most skin types. Limited peer-reviewed data available for this specific ingredient, but extensive industry experience and anecdotal evidence support its safety and efficacy as a natural moisturizer.
