• HobaCare, from The Jojoba Company
  I got a recommendation from a massage therapist from Cary about using HobaCare. I have used it and I like it very much. I bought it Whole Foods.
  The product HobaCare is jojoba extract (pronounced ho-HO-ba). It is stable and it is not really an oil, although it feels like it; jojoba is a "liquid wax ester". HobaCare Jojoba is also non-allergenic and non-comedogenic (non-clogging), which are related to the fact that jojoba is a liquid ester molecularly comparable to the esters we produce in our skin; our sebaceous glands produce sebum, which is composed primarily of esters like jojoba.
