The minute you get back from the beach, reality hits. Your skin starts to burn, flake and peel. All you want is relief. Nourishing after-sun products containing Jojoba oil can immediately soothe skin from the stinging of sunburn.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Jojoba Oil in Sun Care Products
Jojoba oil can repair and moisturize irritated and sun-damaged skin. In a study published by R. Habashy in the Pharmacological Research journal, it was found that Jojoba oil applied on irritated skin exerts anti-inflammatory activity similar to an anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and swelling—which can be especially useful in after-sun products.
JD Jojoba oil’s unique structure, which is based on straight chain esters and is all Omega 9 and Vitamin E, mimics 25% of the human sebum and, once applied on irritated skin, has soothing, repairing and moisturizing effects.
After-Sun Healing Effects of Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is safe to use on all skin types, even on sun-injured skin, assisting the skin in its rejuvenating process. In a study published by E. Ranzato in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, it was found that Jojoba oil accelerates wound healing by stimulating collagen synthesis in vivo tissues. The addition of just 1% Jojoba oil accelerated the wound healing in comparison to the control solution.
The skin-repairing properties innately found in Jojoba oil open up a world of possibilities for its applications, especially when used to help skin heal more quickly from severe sunburns.
Boosting Stability in Sun Care
Stability is a huge benefit for sun care products, as consumers in many parts of the world utilize sun care products on an irregular or seasonal basis, and need the product to maintain efficacy longer in the bottle.
A recent study showed just how beneficial adding Jojoba oil to a formulation was for a product’s stability. The oxidative stability of different vegetable oils was tested by the commonly used Rancimat method, and in this experiment, Jojoba oil showed the highest oxidation stability among tested oils. Its exceptional stability is attributed to the unique chemical structure – straight chain esters, compared to other vegetable oils with a branched triglyceride structure that leads to oxidative degradation.
Not only was Jojoba oil shown to have outstanding stability, but adding Jojoba oil to other carrier oils commonly found in sun care, including Hemp oil, improved their stability. In the case of avocado oil, it was improved by 400%.
“The skin-repairing, anti-inflammatory and stability-boosting properties found in Jojoba oil open up a world of possibilities,” said Anna Aharoni, R&D manager at Jojoba Desert Ltd. “Not only is Jojoba oil beneficial in traditional cosmetic formulations—it can simply revolutionize sun care application.”
