Description
Jojoba oil 's extraordinary ease of absorption, combined with its great stability, makes it an absolutely excellent product among cosmetic oils; it is therefore not simply a vegetable oil used exclusively to combat the unsightly appearance of stretch marks. Jojoba oil also has proven trichological properties: when used on the scalp, it effectively helps free hair follicles clogged with sebum, given its natural tendency to absorb it; thanks to its permeability, hair also gains visibly in shine and manageability. Because of these precious characteristics, it is used in the formulation of high-quality shampoos and conditioners. Although its use is recommended within three years of the production date, in reality, being a polyglyceride (i.e. a true liquid wax), this oil never goes rancid. The special pickled aluminum bottle is internally protected and hermetically sealed using the "safe gard" technique, ensuring (in accordance with current regulations) perfect tamper-evident integrity. Furthermore, this particular container ensures perfect product preservation, so that on the day of use it remains as if freshly pressed.
