Not a problem at all!

Like with anything else...it's hard to find what is 100% accurate with information on anything these days. This is simply what I have read in the reference books and online research I have done over the years. I fully understand it is a butter in it's original form. But since most people know it as oil...that is how I refer to it. :wink:
In my experience it has never caused any of my customers, family members or myself to feel or be greasey. The only time my facial moisturizers have become greasey at all is when I tried to combine any other type of oil or butter w/the jojoba base. So, I have stuck with jojoba alone for all facial formulas. And the heaviness/greasiness has dissapeared. But like you said...to each his own.

Here are some references one can look up, to come to one's own conclusions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jojoba
"This oil is rare in that it is an extremely long (C36-C46) straight-chain wax ester and not a triglyceride, making jojoba and its derivative jojoba esters more similar to human sebum and whale oil than to traditional vegetable oils.

"Cosmetics
Pure Jojoba Oil is a highly effective cleanser, conditioner, moisturizer, and softener for the skin and hair. Remarkably, this oil is virtually identical to sebum, which is secreted by the human sebaceous glands. Sebum is nature's way of lubricating and protecting the skin and hair. Jojoba oil is also nature's way of doing the same thing when age, pollutants, and the environment strip away sebum. Or, if too much sebum clogs the pores or hair follicles, jojoba oil dissolves excess sebum deposits, cleanses, and restores the skin's and hair's natural pH balance."

"Jojoba - the miracle oil for softening the skin is used to promote a softer more supple skin, while being non-greasy. Jojoba oil is easily absorbed by the skin and is great to promote a silky smooth skin. Jojoba oil will help to nourish the skin and prevent dryness. A fine penetrating odourless oil which has the consistency of a liquid wax."

"...it has absorption properties that are similar to our skins own sebum. "

Yes ,but they were asking about a less greasy formula and JOJOBA being considered a liquid wax well to each his own.Jojoba does not mimic human sebum(skin oils) but rather helps to regulate the flow of them.Don't mean to split hairs but. :twisted:
