Julian ThorneHOST

10:27

Julian ThorneHOST

8:00

Jojoba is technically a liquid wax ester rather than a triglyceride oil, with a molecular structure remarkably similar to human sebum.

Julian ThorneHOST

8:10

This structural similarity allows it to dissolve excess sebum, regulate oil production through negative feedback mechanisms, and penetrate hair shafts for conditioning without buildup.

Julian ThorneHOST
