I was pretty excited to find out that The Jojoba Company had a new product out combining two of my favourite things – jojoba oil and rose hip oil!
I have been trialling it for the last month or so and love it. I am also giving you all a chance to win some and a discount code to try it for yourself.
Okay, so what is in it?
It’s rare to find skincare with only two ingredients, but in 100% Natural Jojoba and Rosehip Oil, that is exactly what you get. Just jojoba seed oil and rosehip seed oil.
What’s so great about these oils?
Well, jojoba oil is actually a liquid wax, very similar to the wax sebum on our skin. This enables it to penetrate to the deeper layers of our skin. It is also a powerful antioxidant and contains vitamins A, D and E and omegas 6 and 9. Jojoba is naturally antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and hypoallergenic so it’s amazing for all sorts of skin ailments from acne to cradle cap!
Rosehip oil has long been recognized as mother nature’s secret weapon for wrinkles and scaring! Being high in Vitamin A, it’s great for skin rejuvenation and healing.
Combining the two oils allows the rosehip to really get deep into our skin alongside the jojoba, making it work even better. It also extends the shelf life of rose hip oil which can go rancid easily. It’s a fantastic synergy!

So, who makes it?
I love this company and have featured them before on the website. The Jojoba Company is an all Aussie family business. Ian Turner and his family planted their first jojoba crop in Yenda, NSW in 2008 and have gone on to produce beautiful cold pressed oil for use in their skincare range. Find out more about the farm here.
The ethical practices and philosophy also appeal to me. They never test on animals or use animal derivatives and there are no nasty toxins in any of the products.
What’s it like to use?
I am always a bit nervous about oils for my skin as having oily skin for most of my younger life meant that I really used to shy away from adding any more oil! Some face oils I have used take absolutely ages to sink in and leave a shiny layer on your skin that doesn’t look particularly attractive and makes applying makeup impossible.
I have been using the 100% Natural Jojoba and Rosehip Oil morning and night and I love it. The scent is very subtle and slightly woody floral (hard to explain!). Some rosehip oil products I have used smell so bad I can’t stand it on my skin so this is the first thing I check.
It’s also not a thick claggy oil (well, it’s actually wax remember), it’s very light in texture, spreads easily and sinks straight into the skin. I love the feeling it gives my skin – it’s soft and plump after applying. I feel like my skin is really sucking up all that hydration. I haven’t been getting that tight feeling that some moisturisers leave you with – you know, when you feel like you need another application.
Okay, tell me how much it’s going to cost?
You know I am a low-maintenance sort of girl and I don’t believe in paying ridiculous prices for skincare! I am loving that this product is only $24.95!! Even better, you only use 2 or 3 drops each time, so it lasts for ages. No fancy gimmicks or marketing spin, just two beautiful oils from mother nature.
What are the negatives?
I am actually struggling to find anything about this product that I don’t like. My only suggestion to The Jojoba Company is that I would love to see some greener packaging using recycled materials.
Where do you get it?
You can shop online straight from the company at their website, The Jojoba Company or you can check out their store locator to find a retailer near you. The range is in health food stores (Healthy Life and Go Vita), pharmacies and salons/spas around the country.
Would I buy it with my own money?
Absolutely! In fact, I am going to buy myself another bottle this week. Unfortunately due to an incident involving my teenage son and my dastardly dachshund (don’t even ask) my bottle has been prematurely used up! I really, really love it. I had just started rubbing it into the back of my hands that are showing a few signs of pigmentation and ageing. I will keep you posted on how that goes on my Facebook page.

Sounds lovely! Heading over to their Facebook page to enter now 🙂
I would love to win this product because I am transitioning to detoxifying my skincare routine and this product sounds lovely.
Very happy to ‘like’ Jojoba’s Facebook page. I’ve been using a couple of their products for a few months now and love them!!
Well you love it ….. so I would love to try it … and I absolutely love the bottle!
also … and I guess most importantly … wink wink … is I should be taking better care of my skin.
Would love to win some – anything to slow down the signs of aging! I research various conditions and then ‘catch’ them – ha, ha – the latest being – menopause. So I’m moving toward that time.
I’d love to win a bottle of this please! Mainly because I am desperate to find a jojoba that will feel good on my face (so far not much luck!)Being an all-Aussie product has also given it a big boost for me!
I’d love to support an Aussie business with such a quality product that my skin would benefit from. Thank you!
I’m a massive fan of rosehip oil (use it every morning!) and I’ve tried a serum once with jojoba in it and really enjoyed it. This sounds like a lovely mix of natural products that actually work!
Anything for my toddler ravished skin would be wonderful! Ha!
Would love to win something to soothe my dry skin, and bring it back to life
Have liked the jojoba company FB page. I would love to win this oil as I like to use natural products from Australian companies and this oil sounds like it would be lovely for my skin.
I’ve used rose hip oil in the past and loved it. Am a big fan of the jojoba co, so can’t wait to try out their new oil!
Two of my favourite oils together….sounds like bliss. I have to take Plaquenil for autoimmune issues and my skin is starting to pigment from it so would love to try this.
Just wondering if it could be applied to your hair also? I’m thinking it would be worth a shot!!
I’ve just liked the FB page! I would dearly love to try this product, I’ve read many things about the benefits of jojoba and rosehip oils. I’m currently using coconut oil but would love to try something different. My skin is quite sensitive so this product sounds perfect to me – no nasties! Would also be very happy using it on my children, as I’m encouraging them to use natural products before they hit the teenage years! Thanks for sharing this product!
Sounds like a great product. I have used both separately in my mission to go chemical free so it would be great to try them combined…especially from an Aussie company. You beauty!! (our beauty!!!!)
Have liked on facebook and happy to support this company.
I’ve heard a lot about jojoba but never tried it, would love to support an aussie company too.
I’d love to try this product as I’ve been using straight rosehip oil which is lovely, but this one sounds a bit extra moisturising, which my skin needs in this cold, Melbourne, Winter! Thanks for your review.
Natural, Aussie company and sounds divine why wouldn’t you want to win? I do!
switching over to all natural products has been the best thing I’ve ever done. supporting Australian grown, owned, produced products is the next highest ‘to do’ on my list. this product is both of those things. well done guys, can’t wait to try some myself.
I was lucky to receive some samples of these products from my local health food shop last week, when my lovely children announced to the shop assistant that it was my birthday, They are great!
I have been using rosehip oil for a number of years now combined with my normal moisturiser, but am please there is now a low tox option that is oh so cheap.
I would love to win this. I am 48 years old and have really noticed my skin ageing. I would love a product that may help slow down this inevitable process.
I would love to win this product, it sounds really good! I have a lot of acne and scarring, and it sounds like this might actually be a good option for moisturiser and would hopefully help improve my skin. FB page liked 🙂
between bad ance scaring and solar keratosis I’m super keen to find something natural i can use on my skin.
I am a big fan of rosehip oil. I would love to try this combination, it sounds lovely
Would love to try this amazing product. I haven’t found a natural product that moisturises and has a light absorbing texture. I love that it’s also a reputable company and I can rely on the ingredients.
Would lurve to try this product as im already an avid fan of pure rosehip oil, the combination of Jojoba & Rosehip sounds like powerful stuff! Love an aussie company too 🙂
Just tried their range & love it, so would LOVE to try their new product that will be fabulous for my skin
I love trying new products! Looking forward to this one.
I have had one of this company’s products before and loved it would love to try this new product.
I am just beginning to accept the fact that I need to use something on my face, as I hit a certain age, a certain climate, and a certain amount of worry lines! It’s difficult to find something so simply formulated and Australian, and that’s important to me. I would love to win a bottle to try!
After having a baby my skin is all kinds of pigmented and sensitive. I love the sound of this product, and the fact I can use it on baby as well gets double thumbs up from me!
40+ and with a newborn minimal time on my hands and limited sleep I need all the help I can get, sounds like this could be the xtra boost my skin needs currently using rosehip. Thx
My skin hasn’t been the same since having my son and I’ve tried everything. Would love to give this a go!
I would love to win one because I have heard rosehip oil is good for scarring and I have some pretty noticeable scarring I’d like to try it on ?
Sounds like the perfect combination of oils that my skin could definitely benefit from.
I would love to win this product. I have eczema on my hands which I have struggled with for 24 years with little progress. It can be so sore and cracked I am unable to bend my fingers some days. I also have dry brittle hair which also breaks, so would try it on my hair too 🙂 Thanks for giving me the opportunity ….
I would love to win to add some moisture to my face in the harsh cold winds of winter.
Would love to try this! I’ve heard jojoba is fantastic and love rose-hip so would be great to try them together! I’ve tried so many products on my dry skin and nothing has worked so far, would love to give this a go.
Sounds like a beautiful product – thanks for opportunity to win ❤️
My skin would love this! Living in QLD and often working outdoors my skin needs all the love it can get. It sounds like a beautiful combination of oils.
I love that this product has only two ingredients and that is why I would love to try some.
This product sounds so lovely. I am in the process of switching to natural akuncare products. I am especially interested trying rosehip oil. ?
I am also “scared” of using oil on my already oily skin. I have tried in the past cleansing with oil and it feels wonderful but definitely is a daytime no no for me due to the greasiness. I would love to try the product after reading your wonderful review and hopefully experience the same great results.
i would love to try this new product! I use the jojoba oil so the added rose hip oil would be a great addition to my very minimal? beauty regime. Thanks!
I would love to win and try using jojoba oil to myself and 6 yo son who are suffering from severe atopic dermatitis. Recently we are on gluten free diet and our skin improved a lot but still dry and itchiness remains. Would love to try and see how jojoba oil works on both of us! Thank you!
Sounds beautiful and would love to try out Jojoba & Rosehip oil.
I would love to win this prize as I only like to put natural ingredients on my skin and I especially like supporting Australian businesses.
I LOVE oils! A recent discovery of mine… no more pricey moisturisers with too many ingredients. I’d love to try this oil combo. Blessings. xxx
Hi Sonia! Thank you for another fantastic review and an opportunity to win. Thank you to The Jojoba company too! I just went on to the Jojoba Company’s website and LOVE how they list a skin care routine for all the different types of skin types/concerns. That just makes it so easy to find the right products! This Jojoba and Rosehip oil sounds divine! Like you, I don’t enjoy it when I use oils on my skin and they leave me with an oily sheen. I find then that the relief of dryness/tightness is only temporary. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win a bottle of this oil, because it sounds like it really sinks in and delivers moisture where it’s needed!
I’m totally looking for super hydrating natural products that aren’t expensive. This looks like it ticks all the boxes.
To give a gift to Mum
Omg..I read about this product somewhere and so wanted to go shopping to collect a bottle to try but with a newborn baby and living in the sticks (hubbies Ute died a death so he has my car) I can’t get to the shops to collect it.. I would be overjoyed to win a bottle!!
This looks fabulous! I would love to try it for my dried out skin, it gets down to -1 and lower where I live and spending weekends at the soccer fields with my daughter has dried my face out horribly. I’m also guilty of having scorching hot showers in winter, whoops!
Sounds lovely, I would love to try this. Love natural products !
I would love to try it on my little girls skin it gets very dry and she reacts to a lot of things. Plus also on my post Preggo stretchies 😉
Would love to give this a try – I love the simplicity of it!
Sounds great, I have been using coconut oil and vitamin e but I’m still not sure…. I would love to try this!!
I’d love to try this out on my dry winter skin. Thanks for the chance! =)
You had me at low maintenance and not expensive!! I don’t currently use anything on my skin, but the idea of using simply 2 natural ingredients to maintain and repair skin sounds fantastic!!
My Eczema is a bit naughty at the moment and throwing a giant, red, sore tantrum…. I would love to use this as an opportunity to “put it into time out!” for awhile.. Thankyou:)
seeing as i am ageing (gracefully lol), this product sounds just perfect for me – would love to try it 🙂
Hi! I’d love to win this oil, as I’ve been on the lookout for one as my aduly acne has finally stopped and i am now left with some scarring and signs of aging. This product seems to tick all the boxes! Thanks.
My Winter skin desperately needs this!!!
It would be amazing to win a bottle of this beautiful 100% Jojoba and Rosehip oil. I’d use it every day.
The giveaway has now closed and the lucky ladies getting a bottle of jojoba and rosehip oil are Sara, Tania, Liz, Rachel and LJ!! Check your emails ladies!
Thank you so much Sonia! Eep! Can’t wait to use it.
Make sure you let me know how you go. I absolutely love it! x
