coconut vs jojoba

 

Hey folks,

 

I've seen claims about both coconut and jojoba oils being the

" closest " substance to our subcutaneous fat and sebum, respectively,

and wondering what that should mean to me and if one has a clear

advantage for massages than the other.

 

What about application on the face? Supposedly coconut oil can't clog

pores; what about jojoba?

Hi Josh

Jojoba is often touted in the treatment of acne. Jojoba is not an oil. It is a

waxy ester. It is said that it mimics our skin's own sebum and will not clog

pores. I'm not sure why someone would not want to use Jojoba for massage, or

incorporate a thinner carrier oil? Maybe the cost? I know some people are using

it for massage. But, it is costly. Maybe you'd like to add some Rice Bran...very

economical, won't aggrevate nut allergies, and full of antioxidants.

I visited for chemically sensitive people....the owner had noted that straight

jojoba was the only thing that she could use on her face. She was selling that

for that purpose on her website...as a moisturizer. I wonder how it is

determined that certain oils clog pores....just experience? I have read that

tallow can clog pores, but I have used it in soaps for the face and not had that

experience with it. Maybe the end percentage after saponification was just too

small to make clogging happen..
