Yes, this! I will say Jojoba is the one I would recommend as the best. As you said, it is closest to your own body's natural oils, AND it's actually a liquid wax ester and not an oil so it doesn't go rancid like oils do. So it's a little expensive, but you can buy it fearlessly because it won't go bad on you.
