Huile de jojoba : Huile de première pression à froid, extraite des fruits du Simmondsia chinensis, arbuste des régions désertiques du Mexique et de l'Arizona. Riche en insaponifiables, elle est utilisée par les Indiens de ces régions comme protection antidéshydratante et antiride. Calmante et assouplissante, cette "cire végétale" est remarquablement compatible avec l'épiderme car elle a la propriété, unique dans le monde végétal, d'avoir des caractéristiques proches de celles du sébum humain.

La jojoba es un producto natural que se extrae de las semillas de la planta que lleva su nombre y que es un arbusto originario del desierto de Sonora, al norte de Mexico. Durante cientos de años, fue reconocida y utilizada por los Aztecas antes del descubrimiento de América, quienes le atribuyeron propiedades mágicas. Recientes investigaciones confirman que las leyendas Aztecas, son superadas con creces por las propiedades reales de éste aceite(o más correctamente, cera líquida), de composición química similar a las ceramidas de nuestra piel. Efectivamente, el aceite de Jojoba, es más bien una especie de cera que a temperatura ambiente es líquida, presentándose con aspecto grasosa a diferencia de otros aceites de presión en frío. 1, record 4, Spanish, - aceite%20de%20jojoba

It is important to note that the term related species had an entirely different meaning to biologists of the 17th and 18th centuries than it does in the 20th. ... With the publication (1859) of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, the term related acquired exact meaning: descent from a common ancestor, as a result of which many characteristics are shared. Species thus are related because they look alike, and they look alike because they share many genetic traits. 3, record 6, English, - related%20species
