"I purchase this wonderful oil quite often because I am a hairstlyist and I use it everyday on my clients. I never liked to use alot of oil or oily products. This oil is different because it is the only moisturizing oil available. All other oils just lubricate. Jojoba oil moisturizes and lubricates.

I have used other brands but I like this one the best and highly recommend it to my clients. They purchase it because they like the look and feel of their hair when they leave the salon. I call it liquid gold!

The added benefit is that it is also excellent for the skin and scalp. I use it on my skin whenever I run out of lotion. It makes the skin feel soft and silky and keeps my skin moisturized all day long. It especially works well on the heels of my feet.

I believe this is a product that I will continue to purchase and use for as long as I have purchasing power!"

I mix mine right in the original lotion container"

"i use this product to moisturize and deep condition my hair and occasionally to take off makeup. it's a great make up remover. i usually mix some of this jojoba oil in with my regular deep conditioner and then sit under a heating cap. I have 4a/4b hair and this helps keep it moisturized, soft and healthy. highly recommended!"

"I bought this to take off my eye makeup. WOW! I wipe my eyeliner off easily. Even better then my old chemical filled eyemakeup remover. So I read all the wonderful things Jojoba can do. I use it on my daughters dry curly hair and I use it as a moisterizer. Trust me you will find a way to use it! Plus I learned it has a very long shelf life."

"This is a really good skin conditioner. Really helps with sunburns too as I have been dumb lately and forgot to apply sunblock before going outdoors, lol. I combine it with aloe vera gel for that and wam, no peeling. Poor it in the tub to moisturize my whole body, mix it in a spray bottle of water to help my hair stay soft and use it the night I die my hair to give back that much needed moisture. The best part, in the tub it does not leave a greasy residue which could make you slip and fall."

"In winter in get a very dry scalp. Based on other reviews I purchased this to apply to my scalp to relieve the dryness. I had hoped to be able to apply a little every day, but the product - although great at relieving the dryness, is rather greecy. So I apply it at night before bed and then shower in the a.m. to get the greece out.

All in all a good product, but I was hoping for less greece, so that I could wear it all the time, but..."

"This product works awesome as a makeup remover! I typically have sensitive skin prone to breakouts but haven't had the first problem since using the jojoba oil. At night I use it to remove eye makeup, then after washing my face I mix it with a little cetaphil lotion as a moisturizer. In the morning no need to wash my face again, just a cotton ball with the jojoba oil and my skin feels wonderful and clean! Nothing like the chemical products you buy at the stores. Wonderful addition to my beauty regimen."
