Jojoba beads are tiny spherical granules made from the wax esters of the jojoba plant. These beads are commonly used in skincare products due to their gentle exfoliating properties and ability to improve skin texture and appearance.
Here are some of the skin care benefits of jojoba beads:
-
Gentle Exfoliation: Jojoba beads provide gentle exfoliation to the skin without causing irritation or damage. They effectively remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, leaving the skin smooth and radiant.
-
Non-Irritating: Unlike some other exfoliants, jojoba beads are non-irritating and safe for all skin types. They are particularly beneficial for sensitive and acne-prone skin, as they do not cause redness or inflammation.
-
Moisturizing: Jojoba beads contain natural oils that help to moisturize the skin while exfoliating. This helps to prevent dryness and flakiness, leaving the skin soft and supple.
-
Anti-Aging: Jojoba beads contain antioxidants that help to protect the skin against free radicals and environmental damage. This can help to reduce the signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Sustainable: Jojoba beads are a sustainable alternative to plastic microbeads, which are harmful to the environment. Jojoba is a renewable resource and its beads are biodegradable, making them an eco-friendly choice for skincare products.
Overall, incorporating jojoba beads into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, including gentle exfoliation, moisturization, anti-aging properties, and sustainability.
BOTANICAL NAME: Simmondsia sinensis
DESCRIPTION: Jojoba is a perennial shrub or small tree that grows in the arid and semi-dry desert regions of southern California, southern Arizona and northern Mexico. Its unique make-up of pure monounsaturated liquid wax esters consisting of long chains of fatty acids and alcohols makes jojoba a golden liquid wax rather than an oil. Native Americans have used jojoba for its healing properties for centuries. The Pueblo tribe, native to Mexico and southwestern U.S.A used the wax from the crushed seeds for their hair and skin. Jojoba plants have been grown commercially since 1979. Jojoba wax in its fully hydrogenated form is referred to as Jojoba beads. Jojoba beads are perfectly spherical in shape and are odourless and colourless. They are perfect exfoliators as they are gentle on the skin and are effective without being abrasive. The beads are 100% biodegradable.

I love Cocoon products!
I have been purchasing Cocoon products for a few years now, and I must admit, that over that time, I have tried other skin care products. I always come back to Cocoon, and won't stray again! These products are so perfect for my sensitive skin. They light, fresh scented, amazing quality and of course, my skin loves them! I use the Petal Purity Exfoliating cleanser a couple of times per week just to get rid of any build up of dead skin cells.

I love this Cleanser
This is my favorite cleanser, it leaves my skin so soft and hydrated and it smells lovely.

Petal Purity Exfoliating cleanser
Love it, alternate with milk cleanser. Very mild, leaves my face cleansed and fresh.

Nicely clean skin
I was looking for cleanser and this is nice surprise. I particularly don’t enjoy beads in it but overall it does it’s job very nicely and my skin feels clean but not stripped.

I love that it’s gentle on your skin.


Love it
Great! I love using it. Doesn’t dry my skin.

Best Exfoliator - Gentle and Effective
This is the best exfoliator I've ever used. It feels so gentle that I can't imagine it working, but it leaves me with the softest, smoothest skin! And a little goes a long way. Perfect!
Love this
I like this cream cleanser for use about twice a week. It exfoliates without being too harsh on my skin and irritating it. Smells pleasant and rinses clean.


A gentle but effective exfoliation experience!
This is an essential product for me; it's gentle enough to use daily and leaves my skin feeling fresh, clean and soft. The fact that it's eco-certified and is produced locally (Kitchener, ON) is also a huge plus! Amazing product that is ethical and small-biz made!

Fresh skin
Keeps my skin fresh and supple. Faithful user for balanced skin.

Great
I love it. Not too harsh or drying. Perfect for my sensitive skin.

Cocoon products
I love using your products and I actually received a compliment on how great my skin was looking.

Face Wash
My Favorite Face wash EVER!! Love this!!

Could be a little more exfoliating
I have dry skin. This is a great product, however, I wish there were more exfoliating beads. So I don’t feel it is exfoliating enough. It makes my skin feel soft, but definitely could use a bit more beads.
Cocoon Apothecary
Thank you for the review Christina. We are sorry to hear you are not happy with the volume of jojoba beads in the cleanser. I will pass along your feedback to our team.

It's just the best
This is my favourite lotion, and the gift I buy people when I want to make them feel extra special.

Excellent Cleanser
An Excellent cleanser that’s non-irritating from an Excellent Company!

Love this
What a great product, gentle exfoliation without drying out your skin, perfect product.

Highly recommend
Highly recommend


Essential nighttime for me
Smallest amount leaves my face smooth and soft and in my favourite light fragrance

My fave
This is my 3rd bottle and absolutely one of my favorite cleansers. Removes mascara but doesn't dehydrate, and gentle enough exfoliants for everyday use! The only reason I removed 1-star is because the pump stops working quite fast and I have to keep unscrewing the top to get to the cleanser.
