It's the stuff of skincare dreams. An oil that can moisturise without blocking pores, speed up skin healing, soothe eczema and add a lit-from-within glow to your complexion.

I'm talking about jojoba oil – one of the plant world's true superstars and a powerhouse ingredient in one of our most-loved By Sarah blends: the Ally Recovery Facial Oil.

Derived from the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinesis), it boasts some seriously impressive credentials. 

Hydrates without greasy residue

Did you know different plant-based oils have unique properties? Like gemstones, each offers individual strengths and works in its own way. The standout skills of jojoba? It behaves just like our skin's natural oils thanks to its unique molecular structure.

While the ingredient is a humectant (that means it attracts water, keeping skin hydrated), jojoba's small molecular size penetrates into the skin immediately, meaning its non pore-blocking and able to regulate excess sebum production. It's also antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal. Hello BFF for blemish-prone faces.

Used in our clever Ally Recovery Facial Oil, jojoba helps to shrink spots, calm redness and bring a disrupted skin microbiome into balance – an essential element in the fight against acne.

Jojoba oil can aid skin healing

We already know jojoba oil is brilliant for treating problems like eczema and psoriasis with so many of you telling me our Ally Recovery Facial Oil has helped transform your own dry skin conditions.

But there's scientific evidence to suggest jojoba oil goes one step further than that. The oil has shown real potential when it comes to wound healing and in one particular study, it was also found to stimulate collagen production.

Its Vitamin B complex also has antioxidant benefits to combat cell damage and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

In our Ally Recovery Facial Oil, the ingredient helps banish the marks left behind after big blemishes and repair the skin. Talk about an over-achiever.

Protects against environmental stressors

Jojoba oil’s rich antioxidant profile, including vitamins E and B-complex, helps shield the skin from environmental stressors such as pollution and UV radiation. These antioxidants neutralise free radicals that can cause premature aging and skin damage, helping protect your skin and maintain its youthful appearance.

Vegan and cruelty-free

We're not just passionate about using oils that actively support our skin's health. The way we source these oils is a key part of our research, too.

Our Ally Recovery Facial Oil is registered with The Vegan Society and certified with Cruelty Free International. We've also specifically chosen the finest jojoba and our cold-pressing process ensures all that skin-loving goodness is locked in.

Ready, set, soothe...
