Jojoba oil: how it regulates sebum and keeps your scalp healthy
Introduction: The oil closest to our skin
Jojoba oil is unlike any other oil. Its composition is almost identical to that of human sebum, making it highly compatible with the scalp. It moisturizes, regulates, and protects without ever leaving a greasy residue. This is why it is one of the most prized oils in trichology for balancing oily, dry, or sensitive scalps while stimulating healthy hair growth.
A natural biological affinity with the scalp
Sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands to protect and lubricate the skin. When there is too much or too little sebum, it can disrupt the health of the scalp. Jojoba oil, thanks to its similar molecular structure, naturally rebalances this production:
-
Excess sebum → it slows down overproduction
-
Lack of sebum → it moisturizes without clogging pores
Regulation, hydration, lightness: a winning trio
Jojoba oil absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film. It allows:
-
Gentle, non-occlusive hydration
-
Natural regulation of scalp pH
-
Protection against dryness and dandruff
Its mild antifungal action also helps reduce itching and prevent microbial imbalances.
