Jojoba Oil

Cold-Pressed · Liquid Wax · Sebum-Identical

Jojoba oil is not technically an oil — it is a liquid wax ester extracted from the desert shrub Simmondsia chinensis, and its molecular structure is uniquely identical to human sebum. This is nature's most intelligent skincare ingredient: it communicates directly with your skin's oil regulation system, balancing production whether you are too dry or too oily.

Cold-pressed from golden jojoba seeds, PRESSÈRA No. 03 is the purest, most biocompatible oil in our collection — and with an indefinite shelf life, it never goes rancid. One squeeze tube does the work of a cleanser, moisturizer, and serum.

The Chemistry

Not an oil.
A liquid wax that
speaks your skin's language.

Jojoba is the only plant on earth that produces a liquid wax ester closely matching the chemical structure of human sebum. This biological similarity allows it to function as a true skin communicator — regulating, balancing, and protecting in a way no conventional oil can replicate.

97%
Wax Esters · Sebum-Identical
Liquid Wax Esters
Jojoba is 97% wax esters — the same molecular class as human sebum. This structural identity means jojoba integrates seamlessly with skin's own oil layer, regulating sebum output, sealing moisture without occlusion, and signaling the skin to stop overproducing oil. No other plant product achieves this biological dialogue. The result is perfectly balanced skin, whether your concern is dryness, oiliness, or both.
Vit E
Tocopherol
Antioxidant Protection
High natural vitamin E neutralizes free radicals, protects against UV-induced oxidative damage, and helps preserve skin cell integrity over time.
Vit B
Complex
Skin Repair
B-complex vitamins support skin barrier restoration, accelerate wound healing, and reduce redness and inflammation at the cellular level.
Cu
Copper Peptides
Collagen Synthesis
Natural copper content activates collagen and elastin production — firming skin texture and supporting long-term structural integrity.
∞
Oxidation Resistant
Never Goes Rancid
Wax esters are chemically stable at high temperatures and resist oxidation indefinitely — the only natural oil with a truly unlimited shelf life.
What It Does

Six reasons jojoba oil
is unlike any other.

Its sebum-identical chemistry makes jojoba uniquely effective — for dry skin, oily skin, acne-prone skin, aging skin, and everything in between.

Skin Care
Sebum Regulation
Because jojoba mimics human sebum at the molecular level, skin recognizes it as its own oil and reduces excess production. Oily and acne-prone skin types see reduced shine and breakouts within weeks, while dry skin experiences the deep hydration it signals for.
Skin Care
Acne Control
Jojoba's antimicrobial wax esters create a hostile environment for acne-causing bacteria while its sebum-regulating properties reduce the excess oil that feeds breakouts. It unclogs pores without stripping, breaking the dryness-overproduction cycle at its root.
Skin Care
Anti-Aging & Firming
Copper content stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis while vitamin E neutralizes the free radicals responsible for collagen breakdown. Regular use visibly reduces fine lines, firms skin texture, and improves overall elasticity — particularly around the eyes and mouth.
Hair Care
Scalp & Root Health
Applied to the scalp, jojoba dissolves sebum buildup around follicles that suffocates growth, while simultaneously moisturizing the scalp skin. Its anti-fungal properties address dandruff at the source, and its sebum-mimicking structure means no greasy residue after rinsing.
Hair Care
Cuticle Sealing Gloss
As a wax ester, jojoba coats and seals the hair cuticle more effectively than conventional oils. It locks in moisture, reflects light for brilliant shine, protects against heat styling up to 450°F, and prevents the protein loss responsible for brittleness and breakage.
Multi-Use
Makeup Remover & Primer
Jojoba dissolves oil-based makeup — including waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation — without irritating the eyes or stripping skin. Massaged in and rinsed off, it cleanses deeply; left on, it creates a plumped, smooth canvas that extends makeup wear.
Proven by Science

Six things that make jojoba extraordinary.

Cultivated by Native Americans for centuries and now studied by dermatologists worldwide — jojoba's chemistry sets it apart from every other botanical ingredient.

01
It Is Not Technically an Oil
Jojoba is the only plant that produces liquid wax esters as its primary storage compound. True oils are triglycerides; wax esters are a different molecular class — the same class as human sebum. This distinction makes jojoba uniquely biocompatible with skin in a way no other botanical ingredient can claim.
02
Indefinite Shelf Life
All conventional oils eventually oxidize and go rancid — typically within 1–2 years. Jojoba's wax ester structure is chemically resistant to oxidation and can be stored indefinitely without preservatives, refrigeration, or degradation of efficacy. It is the most stable natural skincare ingredient available.
03
Regulates Both Dry and Oily Skin
Clinical studies demonstrate jojoba's unique bidirectional sebum regulation. In dry skin, it signals the need for increased sebum production; in oily skin, it tricks sebaceous glands into reducing output by mimicking the sebum that already coats the skin's surface. This is unique in skincare science.
04
Antimicrobial Against Acne Bacteria
Published research confirms jojoba oil's antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, and Candida albicans. In acne treatment, its combination of antibacterial activity and sebum regulation makes it clinically effective without the drying side effects of conventional acne treatments.
05
NASA-Tested Desert Survivor
The jojoba shrub (Simmondsia chinensis) survives 110°F desert heat and 15 years of drought by storing energy as heat-stable wax esters. This extreme environmental stability transfers directly to the oil — it remains chemically intact and fully effective at temperatures that would degrade any conventional botanical oil.
06
Zero Comedogenic Pore Clogging
Jojoba scores 2 on the comedogenic scale and is widely considered the least pore-clogging oil available for regular use. Because it is a wax ester rather than a triglyceride, it dissolves existing sebum plugs inside pores rather than adding to them — actively improving pore appearance over time.
Ritual Guide

The oil that
works with
your skin.

Jojoba is PRESSÈRA's most versatile oil — a true multi-tasker that can replace cleanser, moisturizer, serum, and hair treatment in a single tube. Its sebum-identical chemistry means it adapts to what your skin needs each day.

01
Oil Cleanse Method
Massage 4–5 drops onto dry skin before water touches your face. Jojoba dissolves oil-based impurities and makeup using the oil-attracts-oil principle. After 60 seconds, remove with a warm damp cloth. Skin is cleansed without stripping — no tight, dry feeling afterward.
02
Balance Oily Skin
For oily or acne-prone skin: apply 2 drops to clean skin morning and night. Counter-intuitively, adding the right oil signals sebaceous glands to reduce overproduction. Within 2–3 weeks, most users report significantly less shine and fewer breakouts than with oil-free products.
03
Deep Moisturize Dry Skin
For dry skin: apply 3–4 drops and massage in gently upward strokes until absorbed. The wax ester structure creates a breathable, flexible seal over the skin's surface that retains moisture without the heavy occlusion of thicker oils — ideal for all-day or overnight use.
04
Scalp Treatment
Apply directly to the scalp using the squeeze tube's precision tip. Massage in for 3–5 minutes to dissolve sebum plugs around follicles and stimulate circulation. Leave on for 20 minutes or overnight, then shampoo out. Unlike heavier oils, jojoba rinses completely clean without residue.
05
Mix with No. 01 + No. 02
Jojoba is the ideal carrier for the full PRESSÈRA ritual. Blend one drop each of No. 01 Castor and No. 03 Jojoba for a potent overnight treatment. Or mix No. 02 Sweet Almond and No. 03 Jojoba for the lightest daily moisturizer in the collection. The three oils are designed to work together.

"I have combination skin and spent years fighting the oily T-zone. Three weeks of jojoba oil and my skin figured itself out. Less shine, smaller pores, and my dry patches are gone too. I genuinely cannot explain how one ingredient fixed both problems."
