Let’s talk about jojoba!
You’ve probably seen it before: jojoba oil and beauty products containing jojoba oil. Or maybe it’s completely new to you.
Either way, it’s time to talk about it in detail, because this beautiful and natural remedy is great for shaving and so much more.
What exactly is jojoba?
First of all, let’s explain exactly what jojoba is.
Jojoba is a shrub that grows in dry areas, such as Mexico, but it can also be found in the southwestern United States, including Southern California and Arizona.
Jojoba (pronounced ho-HO-ba) isn’t actually an oil, but a wax-like substance.
This liquid wax, which we use for beauty products, is extracted from the seeds of the shrubs.
Once they are ripe, these fall off naturally and are then pressed to release the wax.
Native Americans discovered the great benefits of jojoba hundreds of years ago.
They heated the seeds to soften them and used a mortar and pestle to turn them into a salve.
The salve was used to keep animal hides soft and protective, as an ointment for wounds, and even back then as a conditioner for skin and hair.
Pregnant women also ate the seeds, as they believed it would help with childbirth!
Why is it so good?
Nowadays, we are becoming increasingly familiar with the powerful properties of jojoba oil, and it is used in many cosmetic products.
You’ll see it as an ingredient in lip balms, hydrating creams, shampoos, and in products for shaving, such as shaving cream.
Moreover, of all natural products, it most closely resembles the body’s own sebum.
This is the skin’s primary protection and ensures that the skin remains supple.
Too much sebum, on the other hand, can cause impurities, but using jojoba oil helps regulate natural sebum production.
Precisely because jojoba isn’t actually an oil, but officially a wax, it is so good for healthy skin, healthy hair, and general personal care.
This makes this unique, natural product very light, quick to absorb, and non-greasy.
Jojoba is excellent for use during shaving. Jojoba is naturally full of vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin E and B, zinc, and selenium.
This makes unwanted hairs and the skin extra soft, allowing you to enjoy smooth and effortless shaving while reducing the chance of flakes and irritation.
Thanks to these vitamins and the fact that jojoba is a natural antiseptic, any irritations like nicks and razor bumps heal quickly.
It works as an amazing skin restorer and cell renewer!
What else can you use jojoba for?
Jojoba oil is a very versatile product with many beneficial properties; that’s why it’s not only used in many beauty products, but you can also use it in its pure form for many ailments.
- moisturizer for dry skin
- lip balm for dry lips
- makeup remover

YIONN Raka is truly a top product! A gentle solution for those annoying, painful ingrown hairs, especially when combined with the scrub.

I thought: you know what, I’ll just give it a try! OMG!!! I really should have done that sooner. I’m 37 now and for the first time, I dare to wear a bikini bottom with pride
. What a miracle cure! Not a single bit of irritation to be found. It’s still bizarre. And I really suffered from it.

A product that does what it promises, easy to use. I now have almost all the products and won’t use anything else.
Alice
After 2 weeks, I already noticed a difference. Almost no bumps and itching anymore after shaving. I’m definitely going to try more products.
Patricia Tikar
I’ve often used things like this but they never helped me, even though others were always satisfied with them, and I felt the same about
this product too, but I ordered it anyway and it took a bit longer for me, but it definitely helped!
Maria Ilgun
Much less irritation and bumps. The shaving gel and Raka are truly my favorites; last time I bought shaving foam out of necessity and immediately got bumps
and irritation again…

Free from your shaving irritation within 3 weeks: or your money back
That is my promise to you!
From certified nurse to hair removal expert:
I’m Wendy, the founder of YIONN. I know better than anyone what it’s like to go through life with shaving discomforts.
After desperately trying all sorts of ways and remedies for red shaving bumps and ingrown hairs and spending a lot of money, I was
sick of it.
I decided to find a solution for my shaving irritation myself that actually worked, and I succeeded!
I developed Raka, a caring lotion based on rose water, camphor, and willow bark. By applying a thin layer to the problem area, it easily and quickly calms the skin after hair removal, prevents red bumps, and lets the hair grow out again—instead of in.
And with that, I could finally say goodbye to my insecurity and discomfort.
Hallelujah.
When it later turned out that Raka worked not only for me but also for many other women, I started creating several other products around it that can make hair removal a pleasant experience again.
And because I am so convinced of how it works and I don’t want to keep your money in the rare case that you aren’t satisfied, I came up with the unique YIONN 30-day money-back guarantee (a guarantee you normally never get on hygiene products).
