Why You'll Love It
Single-ingredient
Nothing added
Simmondsia chinensis seed oil, cold-pressed from jojoba grown on Amr's farm near Alexandria, Egypt.
The ingredient IS the product. Nothing added or taken away.
Raw, stable
& preservative-free
Jojoba is not really an oil. It is a liquid wax, and a liquid wax does not go rancid the way oils do.
That is why it keeps for years with no preservative, and why we never needed one.
Artisan-crafted
Directly sourced
Amr presses Hoba near Alexandria. We test every harvest: our April 2026 batch was analyzed by the National Research Centre in Cairo, and its fatty acid profile matched pure jojoba.
One maker, no broker, a short trip from his press to our Denver studio.
Hand-blown glass
No two alike
The glass is blown in Egypt, each bottle on its own, over fire. One has a thinner wall and sits warmer in your hand, another's neck leans slightly to one side, and a third kept an air bubble inside — someone's breath that never made it out, set in the glass for good. The one that reaches you exists nowhere else.
We fill and cork by hand, one bottle at a time. Glass and cork are inert: nothing moves from the container into the oil.

Cleanses and moisturizes in one step
Massage Hoba into dry skin and it melts makeup, sunscreen and the day itself. Wipe with a warm, damp cloth and your skin is clean, not tight. Two drops more, and it is moisturized. Jojoba is a liquid wax, close to the wax your own skin makes, so skin takes it in instead of fighting it.
~50%
of every jojoba seed
is this golden wax
2 drops
are enough for
the whole face
I run a holistic facial business and have used Katari Beauty Oils for over 3 years now! Hoba is an absolute staple.
I have super sensitive and dry skin typically, but my face loves this stuff.
Skin finds its balance
Oily skin often makes more oil when it is stripped. Give it a wax it recognizes and it calms down. Within two weeks most people notice fewer dry patches and a less shiny T-zone. Skin that was either too dry or too oily starts to just feel like skin.
All other moisturisers or oils make my skin go either too dry or oily — this seems to balance it. I've found my oil.
I began to use Hoba in conjunction with Roseau and within a week my skin cleared completely.
Roots to ends, one bottle
A few drops into the scalp before washing, a drop through dry ends after. Jojoba lifts buildup at the root and tames frizz at the tips. It works on beards too, which is how the bottle ends up in someone else's bathroom.
It's the best. I use this every day on my face, my body, my hair. It's amazing.
A primer that is just skin, better
One drop after Roseau, a minute to sink in, then foundation. It goes on smooth and stays put.
Love the Hoba oil — best product ever for my face. I have sensitive skin and it's hard to find a product that doesn't create breakouts for me.
Using Your Hoba Oil
How to Use
- To cleanse, massage 2–3 drops into dry skin, then wipe with a warm, damp cloth.
- To moisturize, press 2–3 drops into skin still damp from Roseau or Geran.
When to Use
AM as a primer under makeup. PM as cleanser, then moisturizer. Weekly as a pre-wash scalp treatment, or after a shower as a full body lotion.

From the Founder
I take the long way. On purpose.
Since 2010 I've been chasing ingredients across the Mediterranean, one maker at a time. I've walked Amr's fields near Alexandria, watched Mohammed's glass glow in a Cairo workshop, and spent ten years searching before I found Amin, our flower-water distiller in Béja, Tunisia. And only years to find a perfect bergamot water.
None of this is the easy route. That's the point. Every bottle holds one ingredient from a family I know by name, carried home the long way, so when you receive your Katari package is a small treasure with a real story behind it.

It’s hard to find things that are true to what they say they are. Katari Beauty is the definition of pure and quality. I have tried many products that say this is the only product you’ll ever need only to find out it’s filled with fillers and ended up reckoning havoc on my skin. Frustrated of this endless loop of looking, buying and ending up disappointed - I found Katari Beauty in May of 2026 it is now October 2026 and this is the ONLY skincare products that I will ever buy for the rest of my life. My skin ranges between sensitive, acne prone, aging, redness on the cheeks. Five months using Katari and I have improvement on all of my skin issues. I don’t have to lather it on a little dab will do it. You truly feel it soaking into your skin.
I love - love Katari and encourage you if you’re on the fence about their products they are worth it. Truly.
Christina, thank you so much for this wonderful review and for trusting Katari Beauty with your skincare. We are thrilled that Hoba has become a staple and that you’ve seen such a positive difference in your skin. Your kind words about our ingredients and quality mean so much to us! Hugs, Kate & Team Katari
I can't tell you enough how much I love this oil. First, the bottle! Classy. But it does my dry, curly hair wonders! And my skin loves it. Lips too! It's seriously amazing.

“Wow”; this Jojoba oil surprised me; initially I was using this as a moisturizer. After three months use, I noticed my forehead wrinkles were almost disappeared (I am 58-years old)! I highly recommend anyone to use this organic product! Thank you Katari for your excellent products (I use multiple products ); my husband started me on this product; he uses it every day, as do I.
Hi Yeranui, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are so delighted Hoba has become part of both your and your husband’s daily routines, and that you’ve been enjoying our other products too. Your trust means a lot to us! ~ Kate
I run a holistic facial business and have used Katari Beauty Oils for over 3 years now! Hoba is an absolute staple my personal and all of my clients skin care routines. Using it as a cleanser to remove makeup and cleanse the day away and again to moisturize and soothe dry, inflamed, acne or sensitive skin. You’ll see the effects after 1 application and the skin gets more balanced the longer you use it!

I like it enough that I bought the large bottle. It feels so good going on.

I was gifted a kit containing this Hoba oil, roseau, argil clay and black seed oil and I just came here to say it’s been amazing for my skin! I’m pretty sensitive and normally stay away from toxic products or artificial fragrances and generally try to keep my skincare simple and I have to say this was just PERFECT. You can immediately tell how well cured and crafted everything is, from the glass bottles to the purity of the products inside. It feels 100% natural and pure. Which I love ! Thank you for the love you put into your products!! It has been delicious and refreshing !! I don’t know what I’ll have to do to get the products in Mexico ! Haha ❤️

I’ve been using Katari products since about December my esthetician turned me onto them. I was a bit skeptical at first because most moisturizers leave my face feeling greasy and then I break out more and my esthetician couldn’t do dermaplanning because my face was too dry so I gave it a try and I was instantly hooked. I don’t normally write reviews but I started with hoba oil to cleanse and then rose water or Geran to tone and I alternate between black seed, rose hip and grante to moisturize. I really want to get my hands on the barie oil but need to save a little for that. I recently purchased the clay mask and extremely excited to add Barie powered to add to the clay mask! Can’t wait for that. I’ve always had pretty normal skin until I turned about 27 years old and it felt “old and dull”. These products legit have brightened, toned and cleared up my skin. I live in Denver so it’s sooo nice they are local! Thanks Katari and my esthetician Crystal for turning me onto these products!!

I cannot say enough good things about the joba oil. I use it for everything. My skin has always taken a long time to heal but with this my skin heals in days. It is like literal magic. It’s also very balancing and never irritates or breaks out my skin. And it makes my skin so so soft. This has been instrumental in my skin and hair journey so if your thinking about buying just do it! So thankful for Katari Beauty, all of the products are top notch and the owner is amazing.
Mckenzie, thank you so much for your beautiful review. Hoba is a MUST and a perfect staple for all. We are so happy you love it! :) Hugs, Kate

My sister let me use her Hoba oil when I had forgotten my generic facial moisturizer on vacation and I've never been more thankful for forgetting something when traveling. I have super sensitive and dry skin typically, but my face loves this stuff. It's soft and remains fresh-feeling throughout the day and I'm obsessed :)
The best ever! :) So glad you forgot your moisturizer and got to try Hoba! Big hug and thank you so much!!! ~ Kate

I have been using Hoba as a facial cleanser for a few years now and agree with every single review here - it has been life changing! But what i want to share about is my healthy hair - thanks to Hoba <3
I have naturally curly/wavy/frizzy hair that i straightened regularly to make it behave and would run to get a haircut every 3-4 months to rid of dead tips of my hair.. then one day i broke my precious bottle of Hoba (couldn't believe it was happening!).. i quickly tried to save what i could into an empty coffee cup i left on the bathroom counter that morning and started putting the oil on my face, body, hair.. i wanted to cry! But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise - the next day i woke up with the gorgeous curly locks that the mother nature intended for me! I gave it another try next time i washed my hair and stopped straightening!!!! And since, i get haircuts ONCE A YEAR! And not because my tips are splitting/dead, but because i want a change in length or an excitement (hello pandemic!). Yes, i read about it being great for hair before, but the experience was invaluable. And no more wasting time straightening (or buying products for it), i proudly wear my well-behaved curls - THANK YOU, HOBA!
So so excited for your results! Not suprised, ;) for Hoba is our favorite for all things skin and hair! Big hug and thank you so much for allowing us to earn this review! ~ Kate

Everyone needs Hoba Oil in their life!
I have combination skin, and moving from the east coast to Colorado, my skin struggled with extra dryness, especially in the winter. I was introduced to Hoba Oil from a friend, and have not turned back to any of my previous 'go-to' products since. I was hesitant to use the product at first because I was worried that my dryness would be overcorrected to extra oily, but that did not happen!
I use the Hoba Oil every night a bed time (1-2 drops goes a very long way!) and my skin's dry spots have significantly improved. Hoba Oil can also be used for an eye make-up remover (no harshness like others!), and if my hair ever gets dry, a drop when it's damp helps solve that problem too.
Perfect for combination skin, or anybody really!!
Ann Marie, thank you so much fo your support and for a detailed review! Very much appreciated! XOXO, Kate
Questions & Answers
Will an oil break me out?
Hoba is a liquid wax, not a heavy oil, and it is considered non-comedogenic. Many of our customers with breakout-prone skin use it as their only moisturizer. Reactions to Hoba are rare because it's so close to the sebum your skin makes on its own. As with anything new, patch-test first.
Can Hoba really clean my face?
Yes. Oil dissolves oil, so makeup and sunscreen lift off without soap. A warm cloth takes it all away and leaves skin soft, not tight.
What makes Katari Hoba different?
It comes from one farm near Alexandria and one maker, Amr. Every harvest is lab-tested, and it is bottled raw in hand-blown glass with nothing added.
