For centuries, the Native Americans would use the “hohowi” seeds to nourish the skin and hair, and to treat sores, wounds and burns. Today, we know the seeds by another name, jojoba, and it is by this name that it has become popular as a cosmetic ingredient since 1974. All the same, its enthusiasts still swear by it for its anti-microbial, anto-inflammatory, hypo-allergenic and anti-acnegenic properties and its ability to reduce scars and treat skin conditions such as psoriasis, besides the fact that it is loaded with vitamins A and E, and omega-6 fatty acids, and also combines well with essential oils.
