I just bought and used a line of Aussie Shampoo that contains Jojoba extract and had a major allergic reaction. I can not say with 100% certainty this ingredient caused the reaction but the shampoo is the only new addition to my normal routine and I have never had an allergic reaction before. I was just at Canyon Ranch Spa in Las Vegas.. I received a massage and minutes afterwards I had a violent reaction.. My head swelled up, my eyes and ears closed, my nose become stuffed and runny.. I had a swelling and a rash over my entire body.. We were very fearful that my throat would close.. I immdediately took a Benadrul however, it did not help.. I was rushed to the emergency room where I received steriods and other meds through an IV.. About three hours later I was released from the hospital.. It took another day for my eye to go completely down.. The doctor gave me a prescription for 10 days worth of steriods.. However, I took them for one day.. My biggest concern was that since there was in an oil it would stick to my skin.. But I swam for the entire next day and felt confident there was no more oil on me.. The next day I called Canyun Ranch and they told me the contents of the oils used during my massage.. Since there oils are all natural and contain few ingrediants, I was able to say with confidence Jojaba is the only thing I have not ingested.. This is my first search for jojaba Allergies, will write back if I find anything else. ***Hello I have some information to add to the above persons comment:
I have a severe peanut allergy and I am able to use jojoba oil without a problem. (I even put in on my lips)
Jojoba oil comes from the seed of the plant and its not really an oil, its a wax.
One thing it does have similar to peanut is that it naturally contains Eicosanic acid; (Eicosanoic acid; Arachidinic acid; n-Eicosanoic Acid;) This acid is found in fish oil and other vegetable oils. If you using any type of product make sure that there is no cross-contamination

Is soy nut ok for kids with peanut allergy?
From what I have heard and researched, over 60% of processed foods include soy! Many people that are allergic to soy can be allergic to other legumes, such as peanuts. I don't know for sure if this can be vise-versa, but I would watch out if I were you. Soy beans are not legumes, but you should still check with your doctor.
