Origin & Lore

Jojoba carrier oil comes from the seeds of Simmondsia chinensis, a shrub of the Sonoran Desert of Mexico and the American Southwest. Indigenous peoples of the region used jojoba seeds and their oil, and in magick it is used as a neutral carrier for blending herbs, essential oils and condition oils.

Jojoba oil is not really an oil at all but a liquid wax, which is why blends made with it stay fresh far longer than most.

Indigenous peoples of the Sonoran Desert used jojoba seeds as food and the oil as a salve for skin and hair. Jojoba became widely known in the 1970s as a substitute for sperm whale oil in cosmetics and industry.
