Jojoba Oil for Skin: Why It Works Best with GUNILLA® Products

Why jojoba oil is powerful—but better when blended

Jojoba oil is a liquid wax extracted from the seeds of a desert shrub. While it’s often praised for being similar to our skin’s natural sebum, using it on its own can feel overly greasy and never fully absorb—leaving your skin slick and uncomfortable.

Jojoba oil needs the right base to work

To unlock its full potential, jojoba oil must be blended with the right ingredients—especially a high concentration of pure aloe vera. That’s exactly what we do in GUNILLA® Ceramide Cream A17™. This luxurious cream is over 60% organic aloe vera and contains ceramides, ginseng, and 19+ plant-based actives, allowing jojoba oil to absorb easily and deliver its benefits without the greasy feel.

Nutrient-rich, but not oily

On its own, jojoba oil contains vital skin nutrients like vitamin E, B-complex, copper, zinc, selenium, and iodine. These nourish and soothe the skin while supporting elasticity and collagen production. However, without a botanical delivery system, these nutrients often sit on top of the skin rather than absorbing fully.

Perfect for sensitive or breakout-prone skin

When paired with ingredients like aloe, ceramides, and anti-inflammatory botanicals—as in our GUNILLA® Ceramide Cream—jojoba oil becomes ideal for even sensitive or acne-prone skin. It hydrates without clogging pores, supports the skin barrier, and helps reduce irritation, redness, and flaking.

Why GUNILLA® does it better

Unlike moisturizers that use water as a base, GUNILLA® uses certified organic aloe vera as the first ingredient—over 60%. This allows jojoba oil and other plant nutrients to penetrate deeply while reducing greasiness. It’s what makes Ceramide Cream A17™ one of our most-loved formulas for dry, mature, or sensitive skin types.

When used correctly, jojoba oil isn’t just beneficial—it’s transformative. But only when paired with the right ingredients like those found in GUNILLA® botanical skincare.
