> 3 dayThis was my first time purchasing jojoba oil from NOW. I usually purchase their grapeseed oil from Amazon and have been pleased with the product and delivery so far. I purchased the 16 oz bottle of jojoba oil and I was very excited to receive it yesterday...until I inspected up the package. There was an oily stain on the Amazon box that caught me off guard and made me a bit anxious; however none of the products inside the box had oil residue on them. They were all clean and properly sealed. Therefore, I assumed that something else (not my products) had spilt on the box, or whatever had spilt had been quickly taken out and replaced. Well, my merchandise is there, all looking fresh and clean, so nooo problem! So far. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the bottle of jojoba oil, though well sealed, was NOT full. I thought I was going blind, until I sprinted upstairs to pull out my newly purchased, unopened bottle of NOW grapeseed oil to compare. Lo and behold, I wasnt blind! And Im not stupid either. What in the NOW world happened to the rest of the oil? Thats some expensive oil to be missing that much! Considering I use less than a dime size for my face, that missing portion is probably a months worth of product, and Im certainly being generous here. This is utterly unacceptable. Im not sure who messed up, whether Amazon resealed the product AFTER it spilt, or NOW is cheating people out of a few ounces of an expensive product by not filling it up TO THE TOP as it does with other (read: cheaper) products. Either way, thats deplorable business. If I pay for 16 fl oz of product, I want to receive 16 fl oz of product, ESPECIALLY when that product is as pricey as jojoba oil is. Do that with almond oil, I dont care; it makes my skin break out anyway. Besides that *sigh*, it seems like a good quality product; it smelled slightly nutty. That explains the two stars.

Greater than one weekI love jojoba oil but especially this brand. I use this as body oil, face oil, and for hot oil treatments in my hair. Doesn’t clog my pores and leave some hydrated! Trust and love this brand all together.

> 3 dayIve been using jojoba oil for my hair for a couple years now. When I was living in New York, I would put some jojoba oil on the ends of my hair before I shampoo it, and it helps my hair stay tangle-free for the rest of the day. However, when I moved to Wisconsin, that method simply wasnt enough. The hard water and the cold (and therefore the heater) really damaged my hair and my scalp. My scalp became flaky, REALLY flaky, but its not dandruff, just dead, dry skin. My hair lost its shine and I started shedding more hair than when I was in New York. I tried installing water filter for my shower head, tried natural shampoos & conditioners, tried scalp treatments, tried a bunch of different brands that claim to be hydrating, but nothing worked. Thats when I went back to my trusty jojoba oil. I made my own blend of jojoba oil (4oz), rosemary essential oil (20 drops, supposedly rosemary helps with hair growth by increasing circulation), and lavender essential oil (4 drops, also helps with circulation). I massage my scalp with the blend, put on a shower cap and let it sit for about 30 mins every day (yes, I shampoo every day, its a habit that I cant change even though its probably why my scalp is so dry...) Ive been doing that for a couple weeks now, and my hair has never been shinier. My scalp feels hydrated, the flakes are gone, and my hair stays tangle-free all day. When I dont have 30 minutes for hair treatment, I just massage the blend into my scalp and shampoo right away. It doesnt work as well, but its better than nothing! Ive also tried jojoba oil on my face as a moisturizer and as a cleanser (oil cleansing method), but my face doesnt seem to appreciate it as much as my scalp does. Jojoba oil has a comedogenic rating of 2, which is moderately low, but can potentially still clog pores for some people. Though theres a lot of talk on the internet about how it resembles the natural sebum that we produce & therefore shouldnt clog pores, it just doesnt work for me. I use argan oil for my face, which has comedogenic rating of 0, and its working pretty well.

> 3 dayEver since I was young, Ive had keratosis pilaris. Its a condition where skin cells dont shed causing small bumps to appear, typically on the back of the arm. When I was in junior high, I saw a dermatologist (ever elusive, but they do exist) and was prescribed a topical cream that didnt do much even after liberal, religious applications. In college, I tried another, more ruthless approach, by using a pumice stone on them. It worked in the short-term, but its definitely not advised ... Finally, in my post-grad life, Ive found the solution, which is jojoba oil. Within a week of use in conjunction with

> 3 daySeriously, jojoba is the best most multi-purpose beauty product Ive ever found and I used to be an esthetician. My under-sink self-care arsenal is embarrassing and mostly useless since I have incredibly reactive skin. But this beautiful bean oil is nearly bioidentical to your own sebum so very few people are reactive. (And it doesnt get greasy on hair or skin, it just soaks right up!) Because of this I only use the pure oil with no additives and the Now brand is pure and cheap. Do it! (Note: You need a miniscule amount; we buy the big bottle because everyone in the fam uses it for everything.)
