NOW Solutions Organic Jojoba Essential Oil, 4-Ounce

The NOW Solutions Organic Jojoba Essential Oil is fantastic! The 4-ounce bottle is a great size and the oil itself is pure, lightweight, and absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. I’ve used it for moisturizing and as a carrier oil for essential oils, and it works perfectly every time. The organic quality gives me peace of mind, and the price is very reasonable for such a high-quality product. Definitely a 5-star purchase!

Wow!! I love NOW essential oils, and their quality has always impressed me, so I decided to try their jojoba oil. I’m so glad I did! It has truly transformed my hair. In my super humid state, frizz is always a battle, but this oil makes such a difference. I thought I loved coconut oil (and still do), but if you’re not careful with it, your hair can get really greasy. Jojoba feels so much lighter, still nourishing but without weighing hair down. The price is also great, very reasonable for the amount you get, and a little goes a long way. I even started using it on the bumpy “strawberry skin” on my arms after reading some of the reviews here, and it worked wonders. The bumps are finally starting to fade, and my skin feels so much smoother. This has become a new staple for both my haircare and skincare routine!

I’d love this oil. This oil is great for dry skin, and it’s also great carrier oil. I like the fact that it’s organic it’s a great price. If you don’t have a natural skin store in your area, this is a great place to pick it up. I like to put this over my body lotion at night it makes my skin so soft. I let it dry for a minute so it’s not too greasy or sticky.

After years of having oily skin, I now find myself with dry, parched skin which is, of course, much worse in winter. I've been experimenting with a lot of moisturizers, lotions, and oils to find one/some that will work in different weather/seasons, and I can say that jojoba oil is my go-to for cooler weather. I use a different product for the neck and eye areas, but use this liberally everywhere else. I wait a few minutes for it to seep in a bit before I put on foundation and it goes on flawlessly and looks great. (I do usually set it with a light dusting of powder, and sometimes a setting spray, but can easily skip that if pressed for time.) At the end of the day, my face isn't either greasy or chalky. It also doesn't clog my pores, inflame my skin, or cause breakouts. As a bonus, a little goes a long way, so it looks as if this 4-ounce bottle will be with me for awhile. I definitely recommend jojoba oil for the face. That said, this is definitely a YMMV situation since I can't say how it would work for someone with oily/combination skin, someone who is prone to breakouts, or in warm/humid weather*. But it's certainly worth a try. (If it doesn't work on the face, it's also a great body moisturizer so it wouldn't go to waste.) Now for my one complaint--not about the oil, but the bottle. The lid on my bottle is very loose. It doesn't stay tight, and it leaks. I've quit using the pop top altogether and take the whole lid off when I use it. It must stay upright, and I'd never be able to travel with it using the original container. There were no leakage problems when it was shipped, thankfully, but I noticed it right away when I started using it. Just something to be aware of. *Update: Since the initial review, I've continued to use this throughout a hot, muggy summer and I continue to be pleased. It absorbs quickly and moisturizes my face without making it greasy-looking. No clogged pores or breakouts even in swampy weather.

Update - Since I decided not to return the oil, I've used it for the last two weeks because it does feel nice when applied. After two weeks of not even consistently using it, I have noticed that my fingertips and cuticles are healing where there was cracked and peeling skin. My hands are smoother and softer and aren't hurting from the dryness like before so this product gets 4 stars now. I would give it 5 if it was heavier and made my hands feel moisturized longer but I suppose its meant to seep into my skin in order to work on healing rather than sit on the surface. I ordered this because I read that Jojoba oil was good for dry, cracked skin due to dry cold winter weather. It has no smell good or bad which is fine. It applies like any oil and isn't any thicker than any oil which was the first thing that had me doubting it would be effective. My hands only stayed moisturized for a few minutes. Not worth the eight bucks it cost and not worth it to return.

This is probably one of the best moisturizing oils that you can use. It has no scent and a little goes a long way I use it on top of my moisturizer in the winter to help seal in the moisture. It is nice and non irritating. Good value for the size. This is an oil that I will always recommend.

I can always trust NOW brand oils. This jojoba feels like great quality, it has a nice subtle smell, and it's very light while still being moisturizing. I'm using it as a base for homemade vanilla scent, and it's working perfectly so far.

This oil is perfect for my skin, but serves a different purpose entirely. I have a ton of piercings (ears, lobes, nipples, et cetera), and I have to use specific oils for ear piercing in a different place. I ended up discovering I had a small blowout on my right earlobe due to sizing up to a 1/2" tunnel too quickly, so I got a ton of recommendations online to size down to about a 00, and do daily Jojoba oil rubs 2-3 times a day for about three months to help it heal. This is currently in progress, and it's looking better (even though it's been only a week). I also ended up having a very bad scenario at the piercing shop I go to, due to an uneducated "sub" there. They basically tried to lacerate a small bit of keloid scarring on my lowest-right cartilage piercing and applied direct salt to it, essentially inducing chemical burn. It had a nasty large lump on it for almost 4 months afterwards, and all the sea salt soaks they recommended made it angry. I eventually did some research, and gave tea tree oil a shot for that. The scarring and lump went away within two days after one application of 100% undiluted solution. Didn't irritate my skin at all, but I don't recommend it for everyone. I recently gave a 50/50 mixture of jojoba oil and tea tree oil a shot, by applying it to the scarring. It has resurfaced a bit since that, so I've since switched back to pure tto. This Jojoba oil is amazing, but isn't for every kind of piercing, or maybe it works on different things for different people. Whatever the case may be, it's not expensive, and I HIGHLY recommend keeping a bottle around the house for daily, or even weekly use. Dab about 5-6 drops in your hands and rub them together. Apply it to freshly blow-dried hair after a shower with a good conditioner (leave conditioner in for no less than two minutes). Repeat daily for a week, and your hair will become so soft it's ridiculous. I gave it a shot and switched off using argan oil for about a week. I got the same results either way. I don't regret my purchase one bit. Get a bottle, as it has a ton of different applications. Seriously. Just look them up. PROS: 1. Has a ton of different uses. 2. The product is inexpensive. 3. Feels great on your skin and has a lot of health/care benefits. 4. You get a decent amount for your money. 5. Helps with minor skin damage from piercings. (THIS IS SUBJECTIVE FROM PERSON TO PERSON!) 6. Has no odor. Unless my sense of smell is shot, then ignore this. :) CONS: 1. Has a (near-noticable) mild grit to it, similar to emu oil. It can feel a bit weird if you notice things like that. 2. Doesn't help with all skin conditions, especially on piercings. 3. May cause irritations if you have an allergy. Do your research beforehand. This product is not hypoallergenic. OVERALL: Would I buy this again? Yes. Is it worth the price for what you get? Absolutely.
