HobaCare comes in many sizes

"I'm writing to heap praise on Hobacare jojoba. I was experimenting with different products shortly after graduating from massage school, and at the recommendation of another therapist bought a liter of HobaCare.  Very quickly I abandoned all the other products in favor of HobaCare.  I'd found "the one" - it's better and more adaptable than any other massage product out there.  Even though I've only ordered 2 liters in three years, I thought you might like to know that I talk up your product every chance I get. I'm sure I'm the lowest of your low-volume but I consider myself a loyal customer.  Every one of your points are true - the lack of staining and smell, the affinity with the skin, and my clients love that they don't get up from the table feeling like greased pigs (my words).  Of course, as a massage therapist, none of that would matter if the grip and glide weren't perfect... and they are.

I recently added Hot Stone Massage to my repertoire, and as it requires quite a bit more oil than I usually use, I'm sure I'll be upgrading to the Gallon size for my next order!  I have noticed that the combination of the heat and Hobacare has the pleasant side effect of beautifully softened skin.  I've noticed a big improvement in the clients who suffer from dry and rough "winter skin".

My pregnant clients also benefit from Hobacare.  I've found that it does a great job of relieving itchy stretching skin, and so I make sure to get a liberal amount massaged into the skin on the belly at every session.  I also feel good that by using your product I'm doing everything I can to protect the new mother and delicate new life in my care - no chemicals, preservatives, or pesticides here, thank you very much.  "

I am emailing to let you know that I placed an order tonight for a gallon of organic jojoba. I like the jojoba very much and I think it is the best option for use in my massage practice. I have a small practice, which I am just beginning, so I will not order very frequently. But, I will tell anyone who asks where to go to buy such good quality jojoba at a reasonable price.

My one friend who is a massage therapist told me that jojoba was too expensive. But, after using the jojoba, I find that it is not expensive at all. A small amount of jojoba goes a long way. I found that an ounce of jojoba was more than enough to use for one complete body massage. That's only about 50 cents per person. That's significantly cheaper than the creams I have tried, some of which cost almost $3 per person!

"I believe I have been using your product for almost 2 years now and wouldn't use anything else! I am a massage therapist with hospice and your pure jojoba... is wonderful on my patients' skin. Many cancer patients cannot stand the smell of perfumes or oils. (HobaCare Jojoba) has no smell. If you look at a lot of lotions they contain so many chemicals. The people I see have had enough chemicals put into their bodies. Their skin is usually very dry from all the chemo, poor circulation and lack of oxygen. Jojoba soaks so nicely into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. Thanks!"

I have been using your product for 4 years now and I would not use anything else. I have a few friends I am trying to convince because I bring my jojoba blended with essential oils when they work on me. I use your product for my geriatric population and have seen it work wonders on the quality of their skin. I am hoping a price break will help my friends see the light and try it. I use far less per client then any other product I have tried."

~ Lisa Nutt

"When I recently visited a resort day spa one of the professionals told me about HobaCare and how she used it after sun exposure. Two weeks later I developed my first sun burn of the year. My skin is frequently burned by the sun even with strong sun block. Hoba Care not only soothed the burn, but also conditioned the skin and resulted in the first bronze tan of my life (with absolutely no peeling)! Thank you so much for such a high quality product. I recommend it to everyone I know and I can't wait to try suggested applications from your website."

~ Jessica Fitzgerald
Edison, NJ

(Note: HobaCare Jojoba is not intended as a sunscreen. This customer's use of the product after exposure to the sun is entirely appropriate. The product may also be used under sunscreen to maintain skin conditioning while in the sun.)

I just wanted to say thanks, I am a massage therapist of 9 years, and I discovered your product after I left school and found almond oil (and other nut oils) leave your sheets smelling rancid. This product washes out completely with no special products or harsh chemicals and my sheets last a long time. This allows me to purchase a nicer set of sheets so my room looks peaceful and beautiful, not clinical as many of those who use only white sheets. I also have sensitive skin and this product gives me no problem at all.

Another great aspect of jojoba oil is that it absorbs completely and my clients don't leave feeling greasy. I love telling them about the oil I use and how good it is for their skin. I could go on and on, there are so many wonderful things about using hobacare oil. It will extend the shelf life of scented oils if you choose to use them. Once again THANK YOU for caring about the product you put out. I am so grateful I found this product.

I oil my mid-thigh length hair with Hobacare Jojoba. My hair has no split ends and is in the best condition ever. I could not have grown my hair to its current length or kept it in this marvelous condition without your product.

I recommend your product to anyone who inquires about hair care or comments on the health of my own hair. Your Jojoba is superior quality jojoba.

I love your stuff. I've been using it for years and refuse to use anything else. I've tried them all. Your jojoba, is by far, the best available.

"I love this product and so do my clients! It never leaves anyone feeling greasy and it lasts for such a long long time. Great carrier product, too, for aromatic essential oils. Jojoba extract is what I use exclusively now. Thanks for such a great product!"

~ Kim Mennillo
Licensed Massage Therapist

 

"My order arrived today. I use your jojoba in place of hair gel and it works so much better. I also use it on my face twice daily and it has dramatically improved the quality of my skin. Thanks for the quality product. I know I would never get these benefits from the jojoba products bought anywhere else."

~ Steve Lazur
Simi Valley, CA

"I am a massage therapist in Indiana and have loved your product for over 2 years now, I don't order often because my jojoba lasts so long! I recently placed an order with you guys & on my invoice someone had hand written an apology for possibly misspelling my name. I am so impressed with your customer care. It just seemed like a courteous and personal message. I like doing business with companies that care, and I feel that you do.

Thank you for a fabulous product and great customer care!!"

~ Mindy Coddington
LaPorte, IN

"Thanks for the quick response. I love jojoba and now use it exclusively as a skin lubricant in my massage practice. No allergic reactions, no greasy feeling for the patient, no funky sheets, and a fantastic carrier for essential oils.

Saint Johns Wort grows wild here in Aroostook County. I go to our camp (22 miles from the nearest electricity, and forget that cell phone), where my 87-year-old mother and I harvest from a patch that is at least 1/3 acre, far from any traffic or logging activity. After three sun infusions, the jojoba turns a rich, deep reddish-orange color. I use it on my bicyclists (including my occasionally-unfortunate self) for road rash. Amazing stuff! Minimizes itching, scabbing, scarring. I recently got my first tattoo (at age 50) and have been using the StJW jojoba on it. It barely peeled, has never itched, and my tattoo artist is amazed. Magic in a bottle.

Thanks for a wonderful product. I don't know what I'd do without it."

~ Nanci Little, LMT, TRM
Presque Isle, ME

"I am a small businesswoman, and I only buy two gallons of HobaCare a year, but I am very pleased with your product, and so are my clients. People tell me "Don't use oil", and I put a drop of HobaCare in the palms and tell them to feel it and smell it. The response is always, 'Oh, this is nice!'

So I am glad your company is going to continue distributing jojoba I appreciate the honesty and integrity you give customers. I've never had a company raise prices briefly and then reduce prices back again, as promised! I don't want to buy from anyone else."

~ Lisa Wyzard
Torrance, CA

"I have been using your jojoba for ten months and have several others using it from my recommendation in Florida, Michigan, Montana and Texas. Thank you for producing a pure product we can all enjoy without danger to ourselves or our environment. I just ordered a quart today for my personal use."

~ Mary Campbell
Destin, FL

"This e-mail to inform you that my order arrived yesterday (within 3 days!). After trying it, I can confirm that your Jojoba is a great product at a very low price (compared to Europe...) I will very certainly place an order again once my liter bottle is empty!"

~ Anne Krother

"I ordered one gallon of jojoba online yesterday afternoon and I received it this morning at 9:30!!!!! Thank you so much for your prompt service. It is much appreciated. I recommend your product to my clients all the time. Thank You,"

"I am so happy that I have discovered your product. When I get the big bottle, I will use it all over. Thanks again."

~ Mary E. Morello

"I am the mother of a nine-month old daughter who has been battling leukemia for the past five months.

During her first round of chemotherapy, we found that one of the many side effects of the treatment was terrible diarrhea, which deteriorated the skin in her diaper area quickly and extensively. The hospital's skin care team offered their hospital wide solution to this type of problem, which failed, and her skin only got worse. After some experimenting of our own, we found the best treatment was to clean her skin with soft cotton cloths dampened with water and jojoba... followed by a protective barrier of a zinc oxide cream. This method was much gentler to her sensitive baby skin and provided another protective barrier to the chemically saturated diarrhea. We have continued to use this method for diaper changes and our more rounds of chemotherapy later we have yet to see any skin breakdown!

Thank you for improving the quality of little one's life with your wonderful product."

"I had heard about your product several months ago. I was not able to find your website at the time because I was spelling it JojobaCare. Recently, I was in the market for a new massage therapist so I began calling around to see if anyone in my area used your product. I found one, Ultimate Escape Day Spa (www.ultimateescapedayspa.com), and then when I got a massage the other day I bought a bottle of your product.

I used it for several days after shower and love it! But the real kicker is this... for several months my skin had been out of control. Breaking out and flaky dry, which made it hard to correct one without irritating the other. I decided to look at your website, now that I had the URL, and was searching to see if I could find reference to using it on the face and if was non-comedogenic. As you know, it did say that so I decided to try it, thinking not much could make my skin worse at this point because my skin actually hurt it was so dry and flaky. (Looked horrible too) I have been using it on my face for only 2 days now, morning and night. And I am amazed! My skin isn't flaking, and is clearing up quicker than I have seen anything work and my skin is soft. I put it on right after I wash my face, before my regular lotion. I haven't changed anything else so I think my results must be a direct result of your product! Thank you so much! I have e-mailed my friends and family with your website link."

I want to let you know that I continue to give your website out to many of my clients, friends and family. It is a terrific product and I appreciate knowing that I have you for a resource.

I recently learned of something that I have been sharing with others. I learned of using baking soda and water (mixed in hands) and gently massaged onto your face(or body) to cleanse. I recommend splashing the mixture of baking soda off with water versus using a cloth. The cloth tends to be a little abrasive. From there I have been using, and telling others to use, your jojoba extract.

I learned of the baking soda/water mixture through a caller who wanted to share with listeners on the television program "Your Health With Doug Kaufmann." His website is www.iknowthecause.com The caller actually has people stop her and ask what she uses on her skin. She stated the baking/soda and water mixture and her moisturizer (which she didn't name). I happen to use the jojoba extract as my moisturizer. Perfect combo and very inexpensive. My skin has improved dramatically since I first started using HobaCare on my face and even more changes in the past few days using the baking soda as a cleanser. I want to share this with others as we all need to feel good about our skin and the aging process that takes place.

Thank you again!

"I bought some of your... HobaCare... when my daughter was a baby and I would like some more. I got it on vacation at a spa. I really like it for her cradle-cap and diaper rash. I now have dry scalp and I would like some more..."

Esther Diener
Goshen, IN

About seven years ago, I attended an aromatherapy trade show in Boston, MA. At one of the booths, I over heard a gentleman explaining the many uses of jojoba. I had to try it out. So, I bought a small bottle of HobaCare and added a few drops over my damp hair before styling. The results were instant! My hair not only had sheen, but totally eliminated the friz! I threw away all of the other goopey hair gels. Also, I even brought HobaCare with me to use at my hairstyle appointment. I have tried so many other products and although they coated to rid the friz - they also left a greasy mess. Not HobaCare! I have faithfully used HobaCare everyday for the past seven years! I stand 100% behind HobaCare quality. Since then, I have educated myself about the harsh ingredients in personal care products and learned I only want to use natural products like HobaCare.

I now manufacturer all natural body care products using only the highest quality ingredients including The Jojoba Company's HobaCare!"

Terri Swain
Hopedale, MA

"We just did our living room table with HobaCare again and are pleased. By the way it waterproofs leather. My work shoes were unusually porous for such. Put on heavy dose of HobaCare and then waded in river's edge several days after and then 10 days later. Felt no leakage. You can quote me in your ads!"

Pike Messenger
Middleton, MA

"I'd like to thank you for your excellent customer service. I placed an order yesterday, and it arrived today. I can't think of any other company that does this without charging significantly more money for shipping. I also want to thank you for making a superior product. I have been using the creams and lotions of another company for the first 2 years of my practicing massage. I have since developed allergies to their products. HobaCare has provided me with an alternative which has proven to be an even better massage medium than the products I had been using. I love that it's so natural and that I no longer have to worry about further allergic reactions in myself or my clients. I also love the shelf life of this product, though I doubt it will take me too long to use it all, now that it will be the only product I use."

~ Julie Copp, LMT & Reiki Therapist
Bedford, MA

"I have used your jojoba product exclusively for my massage practice since February 1995. I have never had any stains on my sheets or clothing from your product. I wash my sheets with hot water, Tide with bleach and PurePro orange (this makes my sheets smell good). I usually wash my sheets the same day of use since I do my own laundry. My sheets look great for a long time. I normally purchase new sheets every 6 months only because I feel like I should. My clients frequently comment on the cleanliness of my sheets."

Massage Therapists love HobaCare

 

"I've been a masseuse for eleven years and your jojoba extract is the best stuff I've ever used! It's economical, clean, and every one of my clients like it."

~ Genie Robinson, RMT
Brackettville, TX


"I must tell you, that I had problem with my left hand, I could not get rid of a sore. In a month time it's gone thanks to HobaCare. I think I will use it forever!!"

~ Liolia Kiss
Copiague, NY


"I love your jojoba extract! I discovered it at "Well Within" massage and hot tub facility in Santa Cruz, California, where I had gone for a massage. The therapist there used it on me. I am a certified Shiatsu body therapist, and one of my daughters is a licensed therapist in the State of Washington."

~ Gina Johnson
Miami, FL

"Greetings. I received your fine jojoba the other day and needless to say I am very happy. One thing I would (add) to your bulleted massage list is something along the lines of this: You have heard that a late-phase Type I hypersensitivity reaction can be brought about by the use of lotions and oils containing safflower, soy, almond, sunflower and corn oils. This is a reaction your client may never tell you about. Wouldn't you love to know you are using the most hypoallergenic product available? Jojoba is your answer. I also thought you'd like to know what I've found due to your (jojoba). It provides excellent grip as well as slide. As you stated does not require much, which is most definitely a benefit when you consider that the client does not feel "oily" when they leave. Thanks again."

HobaCare is an is outstanding for shaving



"Enclosed is a check... for a 32-oz bottle of your jojoba... I have found it an excellent product for shaving and hope it will continue to be available."

~ Jerome Singer
Woodbridge, CT

"Just a quick note to say my order arrived yesterday and HobaCare is by far the most superior Jojoba I've ever used! It is, among other things, an amazing skin and hair conditioner and I will definitely be reordering in the future. Thank you for such a quality product! "

~ N. Luce
VA Beach, VA

"I bought your product... and my husband thought it was another product I had to have—now he uses it all the time and reminded me we were running low. So we both think it's great. Thanks."

~ Lois Akner Fields
New York, NY

"Your product is far superior compared to those that I have tried and used. Your company can back-up every word that you say about HobaCare Jojoba. It is excellent for hot/warm stone therapy as well as any modalities or massage techniques where you need to count on ultimate glide without impaired grip. Even though I ordered only one gallon to try the product, as I build my clientele and educate them about HobaCare, I'm sure they too will become loyal customers.

Please keep my name on your mailing list."

~ Robert S. Mendoza, RMT
Crosby, TX

"You should know that I love this product, and having lived in Tucson, Arizona for 10 years we are familiar with jojoba and its uses. So I am doubly glad to be able to renew my supply."

~ Susan Bauer
Derry, NH

"I've been using this product for two years already... I love it! It's just so good for my skin and hair... I use no conditioner, just Jojoba. I also have my teenage son use it with the essential oils for his acne skin. I found out about Jojoba was through my friend who does my facials. Please, never stop making it! Thank you."

~ Martha Tucker
Montville, NJ

"After having tried your jojoba earlier this year I am hooked!...Many thanks."

~ Tina van Leuven, Aromatherapist
Naples, FL

"I would like to personally "Thank You" for manufacturing such an excellent product! I read the informational and directions booklet and I was thoroughly pleased to acquire such a pure extract and I was equally impressed with the careful growth, cleaning and expeller pressing procedure used to create this wonderful extract!

I treated myself to a retreat at The Grand Traverse Resort and Spa in Traverse City, Michigan in January. The massage therapist there used HobaCare mixed with a few essential oils for a light fragrance. My skin absorbed the HobaCare thoroughly, leaving no oily residue or "slick" feeling. When I got up from the massage table to put on my robe I felt my skin and I have never felt my skin that soft before! I then had a manicure and the manicurist used the HobaCare as a cuticle oil. I was hooked! I purchased three 8 oz. bottles on the spot!

I have since experimented with adding quality essential oils from Aveda to the HobaCare. I then add a few drops of the HobaCare to a bath mixed with Dead Sea Salts, Aveda Personal Blends Shower Gel in #5, (for bubbles) and Rose Petals. After this relaxing bath my skin is noticeably softer. I then lightly towel off and apply a small amount to my skin and watch my skin absorb this extract to produce a beautiful, softer me! Winter months in Michigan are horrid on the skin, causing some serious drying effects. Being African-American my skin is particularly dry in the winter months and on some areas of the legs and arms there is flaking if you don't moisturize daily (in some cases, twice a day)! With HobaCare I can cheat and moisturize every other day and still have skin like a newborn baby!

Our popular litre size bottle

I just ordered a 32 oz bottle of HobaCare, and I can't wait to receive it! Once again"Thank You" for producing such a wonderful, pure product!

I am so glad to see a company with such a wonderful customer focus, excellent customer service and quality product! Of course you can use my e-mail message, and I hope that visitors to the site are prompted to purchase HobaCare. I have actually given some HobaCare to a couple of my friends and I'm sure they will make a purchase very soon.

Once again "Thank You" for your kind message and excellent service. I truly appreciate the extra steps taken to please your customers and your efforts will not be forgotten!"

~ Treea Brown
Detroit, MI

"I want to commend you for your excellent product. I took Ardell Hill's LaStone Therapy class in St. Helena, CA and we used your jojoba oil throughout the seminar. I've never cared much for jojoba oil before, but Ardell spent some time promoting your product to us and provided samples for our use. I must say that after her class, I'm convinced of the superior qualities of your HobaCare, and have ordered my supplies from you accordingly. Thank you for providing her the opportunity to change my mind!"

Our 1 fl.oz. bottle

"I received your shipment last Wednesday and began immediately to use it with my massage therapy clients. I've received many positive comments and look forward to much future use of your great product. Thanks for your speedy shipping. The trial size bottle Sally sent me got me started—a great promotional tool."

~ Pam Kaufman, LMT
Bettendorf, IA

"Early in March, I bought a small bottle of the jojoba from a very nice representative and I absolutely love it! I am a floral designer and my hands look like I'm 80 years old. But thanks to jojoba they no longer feel it!! HA!! Great Product."

~ Gale Heid
Bayport, NY

"I don't know what I did before I started using your product. It is by far the finest skin care product I have ever used."

~ Nanci L. Maloney
Kansas City, MO


"I had to take the time to write your company and commend you on such a great, fantastic product. I've ordered jojoba before and your HobaCare is leaps and bounds above any other. I could immediately feel the difference in the way it looks, smells & feels on my skin. The first thought in my head was that this is truly an elegant product. I'm glad I purchased it. Thank you."
