Botanical field note
Research and evidence
We do not choose ingredients because they sound natural. We look at supplier quality, formulation role and available research before an ingredient earns a place in a Skin Botanist formula. For customers who want to go deeper, the reputable research papers and source notes we have reviewed are listed below.
A multi-centre randomised study found jojoba oil increased hydration in dry skin. Ex vivo human skin research also suggests anti-inflammatory and matrix-supporting activity.
Jojoba oil is chosen because it gives formulas a light, smooth glide while helping avoid a heavy or greasy finish. Technically a liquid wax ester, it brings excellent stability and a skin-compatible feel, making it especially useful in facial oils, balms and everyday oil-based skincare. Patch test before use, especially on sensitive skin.
