Woman’s World
Jojoba Oil

Get Marcia Cross’ lustrous shine with Desert Essence Jojoba Oil for Hair, Skin & Scalp, as featured in Woman’s World. As celebrity hairstylist Chaz Dean shares, “To keep Marcia’s color vibrant and shiny, I tell her to rub jojoba oil into it at bedtime. It hydrates the hair and seals the cuticle so light reflects off it. And it absorbs quickly so it won’t stain your pillowcase!” But our jojoba oil provides benefits beyond shiny hair. 100% pure certified organic jojoba oil, it can also be used to remove makeup, cleanse clogged pores, soften hands and feet, and even as an aftershave moisturizer.
