6 Efficacious Skincare Ingredients That Come From Nature
At The Jojoba Company, we believe in harnessing the power of nature to help your skin behave as it was always meant to. We meticulously select scientifically-proven botanical extracts, each chosen for their unique ability to smooth, tighten or firm.
Today, we'll delve into some of these efficacious natural ingredients and explore how they can elevate your skincare routine, leaving you with a transformed skin.
1. Australian Jojoba
Commonly known as an oil, Jojoba is actually a wax ester that holds an identical structure to the oils already found in healthy human skin.
This helps our skin to be more receptive to it, helping to take Jojoba’s nutrients and antioxidants deeper into the skin. It will also promote better absorption of the products you use alongside it, like Niacinamide, Vitamin C and other actives.
Enjoy up to 8 hours of moisturisation* when using our Australian Jojoba.
*Claims based on clinical tests on 10 women between 25-59 years of age.
Grown On Our NSW Jojoba Farm
Located in the small rural town of Yenda in Australia's Riverina region, our Beresford Farm is the largest nurtured sustainable Wadi Wadi Jojoba farm, growing 100 hectares of our gorgeous beans.
101 Ways to Use Jojoba
Our Australian Jojoba is incredibly versatile. It can be used to nourish the skin, moisturise the scalp and hair, soften cuticles, mixed with sugar to create a scrub, used as a beard oil and as a pre/post shave oil.
Suitable For All Skin Types
Australian Jojoba is suitable for all skin types, including dry, oily, blemish-prone, combination and sensitive. Those with psoriasis, eczema and rosacea can also benefit from using Jojoba.

5. Poly Hydroxy Acids (PHAs)
Found in our Daily Glow Exfoliating PHA Tonic, PHAs are a type of chemical* exfoliant. They are often considered a gentler alternative to AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) and BHAs (beta hydroxy acids).
Compared to AHAs and BHAs, PHAs have larger molecule sizes. This means they penetrate the skin slower and less deeply, making them generally less irritating on the skin.
*'Chemical' refers to the process or action, not the ingredients.
Hydration + Exfoliation
Historically, toners have been considered too harsh for the skin, however our Daily Glow Exfoliating PHA Tonic hydrates while it exfoliates, ensuring maximum comfort and little room for irritation.
Gentle Enough For Daily Use
Although the Daily Glow Exfoliating PHA Tonic is an exfoliating tonic, the PHAs are gentle enough to be used everyday. Use nightly to be one step closer to a healthy, glowing complexion.
Benefits of Chemical Exfoliation
Regular chemical exfoliation will help speed up cell turnover for a brighter, smoother complexion. Exfoliating will also help enhance the absorption of the other potent active ingredients in your routine.
6. Swertia (SWT-7™)
Swertia is is a traditional Ayurvedic herb with many therapeutic properties.
SWT-7™ is an anti-ageing ingredient created using Swertia and found in our Ultimate Night Cream. This innovative skincare ingredient helps to improve the appearance of deep vertical wrinkles, reduces skin roughness, improves skin regeneration and thickness.
Clinically-Proven Results

Why Do I Need a Night Cream?
Our skin naturally loses water overnight, so a richer, thicker night cream can help seal in moisture. Additionally, active ingredients in a night cream are released gradually throughout sleep, so you can wake up with rested and refreshed skin in the morning.
