Fabulous Uses for Jojoba!

Jojoba has been used for thousands of years for alternative health and skin care purposes. Many Native American tribes used jojoba oil to heal wounds and soothe skin problems. Jojoba is widely known for its moisturizing, sun-protecting and nurturing effects, which is why it is widely used in the cosmetic industry. It is a main ingredient in many creams and cosmetic products. Jojoba oil is also used in holistic remedies for the natural treatment of sunburns, eczema and psoriasis.
