Our Story

A Skincare Breakthrough, 200 Years in the Making

Centuries ago, the Native Americans extracted a luminous golden liquid from jojoba seeds to soothe, heal and restore their skin. This ancient super-ingredient is unlike any oil, because it’s not one. Jojoba is the only plant to store liquid wax in its seeds. Sharing the same molecular structure as the natural oils found in healthy human skin, making it more receptive to receive vital nutrients and antioxidants, restoring balance, and helping your skin behave as it was always designed to do.

We are passionate about the jojoba plant and what its fruit, a prized delicate little bean, can do.  It produces a rich, pure golden liquid wax (it is often called jojoba ‘oil’).  But unlike oils this unique liquid wax acts like our skin’s own natural oils, absorbing deep below the skins surface.

“It is the only plant on earth known to produce a wax similar to that found in young, healthy human skin” 

Season of Harvest

The golden liquid inside each of our signature bottles is carefully handcrafted once per year using only the finest Jojoba beans from Beresford, our family-owned farm. Located in the small rural town of Yenda in Australia’s Riverina region, Beresford is the largest sustainable jojoba farm growing 80 hectares of our superior Wadi-Wadi beans. Extra virgin cold pressed and then filtered 14 times for absolute purity, our Wadi-Wadi Jojoba has been nurtured for over 20 years. With the golden liquid of 3.2 beans in every 1ml, we craft a unique skincare range with the jojoba at its heart. What’s more, our Wadi-Wadi Jojoba is actually carbon negative, giving back more carbon to the earth than it takes to grow.

Lifecycle of Jojoba

From seedling to shelf, our natural products are safe for all skin types, ages and concerns. We only use the purest ingredients, free from unnecessary synthetics or fragrance.

Sharing the benefits of jojoba is our mission, so we took this amazing Aussie grown jojoba and became the first in the world to develop an entire skin care range from it. 

 “ I co-founded The Jojoba Company at about the same time I was starting my own family, so this skin care range was inspired by my commitment to a ‘no nasties’ home life:  pure wholesome food, natural cleaning products  and now my own skincare that is gentle, made from nature and safe.  I have no time to read about all those chemicals and preservatives in the ‘fine print’.  I need to trust it is going to be pure—no excuses, no compromises.”
