Re: Frustrated with LIPBALM/Oil Sub Question

[Guest guest]

This recipe looks good but I don't have the jojoba oil. I do have coconut

oil, safflower oil, hemp seed oil, almond oil and olive oil. Could I

substitute any of these?

Thanks,

[Guest guest]

I've had good results with the almond oil.

You could substitute, but I don't know what kind of results, because i have

not tried it. Jojoba oil is really good, as it is a natural sunscreen. Give

it a try and let me know how it works out with another kind of oil!

Hi all,

Can anyone substantiate the statement that jojoba oil is a good

sunscreen? I've never heard this before, and just checked two of my

reliable sources, neither of which mentions jojoba as a sunscreen.

As for replacing it in lip balm, you can use any oil or just omit

it, but nothing is really comparable to jojoba itself. Jojoba is

really a liquid wax, not an oil, and it is very similar to the skin's

own oils. It is very easily absorbed and very emollient. You only

need a small percentage of it in a lip balm, maybe 10%. It is an

excellent ingredient in lipbalms, creams, and lotions.

HTH,

Ellen~

Hi, I read your post and yes in a book that I got called nature in cosmetics

and skin care, it states that jojoba oil helps protect the skin against

harmful sun rays and prevents skin dryness due to sun and wind exposure. The

book is about natural ingredients in cosmetic that can be used.

Can you share the isbn # of your book? I'd love to be able to order

it, but its hard without an author or isbn #.

thanks

Hi, I have heard that also, about jojoba and sun protection. The only thing

is you can't make that claim on your lip balm, and it has never been

" documented " anywhere. It is such a tricky thing.
