Jojoba oil

[Stephanie]

I would like to purchase some jojoba oil, and am wondering from those of you who use it, what company has the best jojoba line of products. Thanks for your input!

Jojoba oil

I use Hobacare as well. Their prices are quite good, and they seem like a company of high integrity.

Jojoba oil

I use Hobacare, too. Their quality is excellent. My mom (who owns the shop I work in) called the company and talked to them about the difference between the "organic" and the "pesticide free." Basically, the difference is that some of their jojoba oil is certified as "organic" with the stamp, and some isn't. From what I understand, it is for the most part the same oil. It costs money to have it certified as organic, so they only have part of the oil certified. I don't swear that that's true, but that was the "impression" we got. We get the pesticide free.

Arizona Gold is another excellent company, but they are more expensive. I believe Hobacare is the most affordable, especially to buy in quantity. The big gallon pump you can buy from Massage Warehouse fits on their bottle, too.

Also, sometimes we mix (using an electric mixer) the jojoba oil with 100% African Shea butter. You have to soften the shea butter (we leave it in the sun for a while, usually), then you mix it about 50/50, then just mix till it's nice and soft! Shea butter tends to be hard and crumbly, so mixing it with jojoba oil makes it nice and smooth, like whipped cream. But mostly I just use the straight jojoba oil, because for some people the shea butter is too much (it tends to be thick and even sticky if you use too much).

I hope you find that helpful!

I just received my first order from HobaCare jojoba. I think I have a new favorite for my massage practice. Definitely as good as everybody said. Thanks to all who gave their input!

Would be great for a foot treatment though. Thanks for the idea!

That does sound like a good idea, especially now that we're in summertime/sandal-wearing season!

(Now I'm wondering where's a good place to get shea butter so I can try this out....)

http://www.africansheabutter.org/
or
http://www.sheaterraorganics.com/index.html

or just google "west african shea butter"

or "bulk west african shea butter" if you want to buy in bulk
you want WEST african, not EAST... more nutrients left in the butter, and I believe it is cheaper, too.
