Jojoba Oil and Beard Growth: How the Plant Oil Works

Jojoba oil is somewhat of an all-rounder among care oils. It seems that hardly any product is without it nowadays.

Whether it's shampoo, cream, or shower oil - everywhere, there is talk of "high-quality jojoba oil.” This is also true when it comes to beard growth. We clarify this.

What is Jojoba Oil and How is it Made?

Jojoba oil, in the strict sense, does not actually exist. Just to clarify from the start, jojoba oil is a wax that is made by pressing the seeds of the jojoba shrub.

However, since jojoba oil is much liquid compared to, for example, beeswax, it is referred to as oil.

Jojoba shrubs are found in Central America, Europe, and Arabia. Its original home is the subtropical region of Central America. The shrubs can live for up to 200 years and bear fruit that looks like green rose hips.

To extract jojoba oil, the fruits are harvested and cracked open to remove the seeds. These seeds are then pressed to produce a liquid wax, which we refer to as jojoba oil.

Possible Uses for Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is used in the industry as well as in the food and cosmetics sectors.

• Since jojoba oil is indigestible for the body, it is often used as a filler in diet products. However, be cautious: The seeds are toxic in their raw form!
  
  
• In the industry, jojoba oil serves as a lubricant for precision mechanics. If methanol were added to it, it could also serve as a substitute for diesel fuel.
  
  
• Its main application area is in cosmetics. Because it is very rich in provitamin A and vitamin E, it is a versatile product for skin and hair care.

At this point, we would like to recommend our beard products. This way, you can care for both your beard hair and skin equally well.

Does Jojoba Oil Stimulate Beard Growth?

If you are hoping for jojoba oil to be a beard growth remedy, we have good news: Jojoba oil does support beard hair growth!

This is for two reasons:

1. Due to its nourishing properties and the vitamins it contains, it makes the hair more elastic and the skin underneath more balanced.
   
   It moisturizes without clogging the pores, has a conditioning effect, and actively impacts skin health.
   
   Thus, it creates a good foundation for healthy hair growth. If you have no beard growth on your cheeks, try supporting it with jojoba oil.
   
   
2. Additionally, jojoba oil stimulates hair follicles. This is due to its high vitamin E content. It works similarly to caffeine and promotes hair growth.
   
   Your beard hairs will not only grow faster but also softer, more resilient, and healthier. We have written this post on how to let your beard grow.

Jojoba oil also has some additional positive side effects.

Jojoba Oil for an Itchy Beard

If your beard itches, you are usually dealing with either too dry skin or too brittle beard hairs.

Jojoba oil can counteract this by moisturizing the skin and hair. Since it also has antibacterial properties, it prevents skin blemishes.
This also applies to skin that is heavily stressed by frequent shaving.

How to Use Jojoba Oil Correctly

The application of jojoba oil is not rocket science:

• Apply it morning and evening - ideally twice a day - to your beard.
  
  
• Make sure to distribute the oil evenly in the beard and also massage it into the skin or hairline.
  
  
• A few drops are sufficient. First, spread them in your hands and rub them together, then apply them to the beard and hairlines.
  
  
• If any oil is left on your hands, you can use it for your head hair: It also benefits from care. Massage the remaining oil into your scalp.
