		In dermatological tests done, using jojoba oil, by Christensen and Packman, it was shown that jojoba oil increases the skin's suppleness by 45% and after 8 hours the effect was still present.It was also found that jojoba oil softens and smoothes the skin with fine line reduction.
		Jojoba is often found in the ingredients of many shampoos and conditioners, due to its helpful effects on the scalp and hair.

		Jojoba oil has a similar viscosity to Sperm Whale oil and is stable enough to burn at high temperatures.

	Information on the herb jojoba.
		Although people see jojoba as oil, it is really a wax ester, and is non-oily or greasy and contains high levels of tocopherols, which have an antioxidant effect on the skin.
		Skin absorption studies at the University of Michigan demonstrated that jojoba is quickly absorbed into the skin, which is apparently via the transappendegeal mechanism and occurs through the pores and hair follicles — but because it is so rapidly absorbed, the pores and hair follicles remain open and thus maintain their proper functioning ability.
		Jojoba oil can be used as a base carrier oil into which essential oil can be diluted before applying it to the skin, and is often used as it does not have an oily feel or residue.
