Jojoba Oil
100% Pure
Jojoba Oil is an all-natural vegetable oil derived from the jojoba bean. Actually a liquid wax, Jojoba is the carrier of choice for the perfumery industry because it does not oxidize or become rancid. An excellent moisturizer suitable for daily use, Jojoba Oil nourishes and revitalizes skin, relieves sunburn and can be used on hands, nails and hair. Jojoba Oil is remarkably similar to the natural sebum secreted by our own skin. 100% pure.
GUARANTEED 100% NATURAL

Niacinamide for Skin Protection?
Niacinamide for Skin Protection?
Be especially careful about sun exposure at high altitudes, in the snow, and on the beachNew research suggests that niacinamide (vitamin B3) has potential skin protection benefits. A study in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that people who took daily niacinamide reduced the number of actinic keratoses (precursors to skin cancer) on their skin by more than 30%.Niacinamide linked to fewer skin lesions
In this study, 76 healthy men and women (ages 48 to 90) who had at least four actinic keratoses were randomly assigned to receive 500 mg of niacinamide once daily or twice daily, or placebo for four months. All participants had skin examinations before the study and at two and four months.
Results showed that both niacinamide groups had about one-third fewer actinic keratoses at four months compared with the control group. The niacinamide group also had a lower risk of developing a new skin cancer lesion during the study period compared with the control group (11 placebo participants developed 20 new skin cancers and 2 niacinamide participants developed 4 cancers).
It isn't exactly clear how niacinamide may help prevent lesions that may lead to skin cancer, but the study authors comment that niacinamide may help repair damaged DNA and help boost our immune system. They report that niacinamide is "highly immune protective in humans" and has been shown to prevent cancer in mice. Further research is needed about dosages and safety. Higher doses of niacinamide than those used in this study have been linked to a risk of liver damage.
Always talk with a doctor before starting a supplement to understand more about the risks and benefits.
Steps toward skin protection
Skin cancer is a common type of cancer, but the good news is that there are things we can do to help prevent them. Experts recommend these and other steps for protecting your skin:
- Enjoy the sun but don't overdo it. Avoid sunburns and blistering.
- Avoid the sun and seek shade during peak hours (10 AM to 4 PM).
- Wear sunscreen and reapply as needed.
- Wear a hat and sunglasses and consider other protective clothing-even long sleeves and pants.
- Be especially careful about sun exposure at high altitudes, in the snow, and on the beach.
- Have your skin checked regularly by a doctor.
- Ask a doctor how to examine your own skin and what to look for in terms of suspicious moles or growths that could be cancer or turn into cancer

Comments about NNF Now® Jojoba Oil:
Jojoba Oil mixes well with other carrier and essential oils. Jojoba oil should not be used alone if you are using the oil for hair growth. Mix the jojoba oil with rosemary oil, peppermint oil, tea tree oil and lavendar oil for your own herbal hair growth formula. I've suffered hair loss from stress related alopecia and have great growth in the areas effected by alopecia. This does not work over night but if used regulary you'll see great results.

Comments about NNF Now® Jojoba Oil:
I massage jojoba oil into my scalp an hour or two before washing my hair. I brush it through my hair and it helps keep my scalp clean and my hair soft. I use it every night to remove my eye makeup and face makeup. Sometimes I mix a few drops into my cold cream and it makes my skin softer. I then use it by mixing it with water and slather it all over my face. I wake up to the softest skin and I notice that my pores have gotten smaller. It is so gentle and I trust it very much. I've been using it for more than a year now. I love it!
