Is anyone here Spanish-speaking? A colleague brought me back some jojoba oil from Spain, which it great. Except I can't read the label.
Could a volunteer translate this:
Aceite de Jojoba (Puroba)
Proteger de la luz
Aspecto: liquido oleoso amaillo-dorado, intenso en masa, practicamente inodpro.
Description: (n.b. followed by "resultados" numbers)
densidad (0.861 g/ml), indice de retraccion 1.4639, solubilidad :Ethanol (insoluble), Cloroformo (Soluble), Eter (soluble), indice de acidez (0.21), indice de saponification (87.0-98.0), indice de yodo (80.0-95.0), indice de peroxidos (0.01), insaponificables (53.80%), humeded + volatiles (0.01%), acido oleico C18:1 (9.50%), acido gadoleico C20:1 (70.70%), acido erucico C22:1 (15.50%)
Normas Utilizadas : Acofarma
That's all the labelling. Any help with putting it into a language I can read would be much appreciated Thank You!
And can I double check that it is suitable for use on hair and isn't for cooking or something. Just in case, like...

I used an online translator gizmo.
It looks like it says Pure Jojoba
Those %'s are not ingredients.
Here's what I get using one translator
Oil of Jojoba (Puroba)

acido gadoleico C20:1 (70.70%), acido erucico C22:1 (15.50%)
Norms Utilized: Acofarma
and here's what I get on another

Jojoba oil (pure)
Protect from light (most likely "direct light")
Qualities: golden-yellow oil ("liquid oil"), for bath use or cosmetic use ("inodoro" = literally "toilet").
density (0.861 g/ml), absorption coefficient/rate? 1.4639, solubility in the following listed substances: Ethanol (insoluble), Chloroform (Soluble), Ether (soluble),
acidity (0.21), degree of saponification (87.0-98.0), something to do with iodine which is irrelevant to us (80.0-95.0), some degree related to peroxide which is also irrelevant (0.01), insaponificables (53.80%), something related to volatility which you won't have to worry about because all oils are volatile on a microscopic level (0.01%), oleic acid C18:1 (9.50%), gadoleic acid C20:1 (70.70%), "erucico" (another fatty acid) C22:1 (15.50%)
Normal use (?): Acofarma ?
Hope this helps

Cheers both! I couldn't translate many words when I tried, so I'm really glad you had more luck!
With the "toilet" bit I take it it is safe to use on my hair lol.
Now I can join the ranks of Jojoba users

So far so brilliant thanks
I never really get split ends (I'm a lucky monkey aren't I?) but I found the oil really helps to hide the healthy ends that are different lengths throughout. The growing out bits. You know what I mean lol.
Also, brushing is sooooo much easier because the oil separates the little clump of slightly drier hair I used to get at the very ends when I brushed through. It's an absolute doddle.
With no unpleasant smell. Is it normal for there to be no odour at all, because mine smells of nothing? I was expecting a...well...oily smell.

That's something most people notice about it. Mine doesn't smell either.

The beauty of jojoba is that it is so much like the human scalp and thus does not get oily or greasy. I use it on my scalp, my split ends (if I find any after Search & Destroy) and even on my skin. I also mix it with my own favorite essential oils for all sorts of treats.
Just love it. After 10 years of using it I am still finding new things about it to love.
