Our favourite ingredient
Almost all of our products are based on or
contain significant quantities of Australian Jojoba Oil.
Why? We think Jojoba is the best skin care
oil on the planet! In fact it is so good that we also have
pure Jojoba Oil available as a separate product.
Jojoba Oil (pronounced ‘ho-ho-ba’) is
extracted from the seeds of a bush that originates in the
desert areas of the south west USA. It is now grown in
Australia and is a perfect plant for Australia as it needs
virtually no water or pesticides.
We use ONLY Australian Jojoba Oil in our
products. Not only to support the local industry, but because
we believe that the quality of Australian Jojoba is the best
in the world.
The
finest moisturising oil
The fine grained property of Jojoba Oil
allows it to penetrate the skin easily and deeply leaving a
luxurious ‘satin’ finish.
Molecules of Jojoba are very narrow, unlike
the larger branched chain molecules of other vegetable or
petro-chemical derived oils – in fact, technically Jojoba is a
liquid wax not an oil. A component of Jojoba is virtually
chemically identical to sebum, the skins own oil.
Facial aging is closely related to
the state of elasticity of the skin. As we get older this
elasticity progressively decreases. Jojoba is extraordinarily
rich in 'insaponifiables’, substances that can actually
increase dermal elasticity.
After your shower, while the skin is still
damp, rub a few drops of Jojoba over your face and body
leaving the skin silky smooth. Or put a few drops in every
bath.
For the ultimate
moisturising treatment use a light mist of Trinity Skin Fresh
to dampen the skin before using Jojoba Oil. See our
Skin Fresh page for more information.
For those with oily skin, the application
of Jojoba will signal an over production of sebum to the
sebaceous glands, and will help normalise the condition.
Use Jojoba to ease the discomfort of
waxing, electrolysis and shaving. As Jojoba will increase the
skins elasticity it can help prevent in grown hairs.
Jojoba is also perfect for babies. It is
much more friendly to the skin than mineral base 'baby oils’.
Jojoba –
The moisturising cleanser
If you do not have the time (or
inclination) to perform the ‘full routine’ a few drops of
Jojoba on a cotton ball will remove dirt grime and makeup from
the skin. This should not be done all the time. A good quality
vegetable oil based soap (like our Face Cleanser) is the best
way to clean the skin.
For the
hair
Jojoba is the ultimate hair treatment and
conditioner. The hair’s natural moisturiser, sebum, is often
stripped by harsh shampoos, hair dryers, colouring, bleaching
and sun exposure leaving the hair (and scalp) dry and
unprotected.
Use a few drops of Jojoba in your
conditioner. Or massage some into your scalp and hair, wrap in
a towel and leave for a few hours. Comb shampoo through your
hair before adding water and rinsing. You can also add a few
drops of Jojoba to a jug of warm water as a final conditioning
rinse.
Liquid
gold for men
Men generally have fewer skin problems than
women, possibly because they use fewer pore clogging petroleum
based skin care and make up products. However the use of
conventional shaving soaps and creams can dry out the skin.
Make shaving a pleasure with the application of a couple of
drops of Jojoba directly onto wet skin after you shave. A
couple of drops of Jojoba onto wet skin will spread a long
way. Treat in grown hairs with Jojoba.
A regular scalp massage with Jojoba will
ensure healthy hair follicles, allowing new hair growth.
Jojoba cannot cure baldness but it may help to prevent it.
Acne
Acne is caused when an over production of
sebum from the sebaceous glands on the face back and neck of
adolescents blocks and infects the pores. With its ability to
penetrate the skin pores and dissolve pore clogging material
Jojoba is unequalled in its ability to help alleviate the
effects of acne.
Wash the skin with a gentle vegetable oil
soap based cleanser like our
Face Cleanser, rinse well and
massage in a few drops of Jojoba.
Regular application of Jojoba may also help
reduce the effects of acne scarring.
Hands and
nails
Jojoba will soften the cuticle, quickly
penetrate, condition and harden the nail, without the nail
polish repelling effect of conventional oils and creams. Our
fantastic Trinity
Hand and Nail Oil is based on Jojoba Oil.
