Our Founder’s Story

A personal journey turned skin health revolution.

The Jojoba Company was born from a deeply personal beginning, not in a lab or a boardroom, but during one of the most important times of my life: my journey to become a mother.

As I prepared for pregnancy, I became acutely aware of what I was putting on my skin.

Our Best Kept Family Secret

What I didn’t realise at the time was that jojoba had been growing quietly in my own family’s backyard. Years later, I discovered that my father had been cultivating jojoba on our family farm in Yenda, regional New South Wales — a unique Australian strain known as Wadi-Wadi Jojoba, introduced by the Department of Agriculture and CSIRO for its exceptional quality and performance in Australian conditions.

That discovery was the catalyst for The Jojoba Company.

From day one, my mission has been simple but bold: to create natural skincare that doesn’t just feel good — it works. Every one of our products is powered by our farm-grown Wadi-Wadi Jojoba, paired with clinically proven active ingredients that transform skin safely, gently and naturally.

We’re not about ‘natural for the sake of it.’ Our formulations are based on science and skin biology. They’re results-driven, bioceutical-grade, and always free from harsh chemicals, irritants, or anything that creates dependency or damages the skin barrier. Every ingredient is carefully selected for its efficacy, safety and skin compatibility — because I believe the smartest skincare works with your skin, not against it.

Our Farm

Today, we remain the only commercial growers of Wadi-Wadi Jojoba in the world. From our farm to your face, we manage every step of the journey, ensuring traceability, purity and sustainability in every bottle.

This is skincare with purpose. Powered by nature, backed by science, and crafted to deliver real results, for all skin, at every age and life stage.
