Our cold-pressed baobab oil is 100% pure and wild harvested. As with shea butter, no plantations with trees are used. The oil is made of seeds of the fruits. The fruit for our organic baobab oil grows on baobab trees on the savannah in Northern Ghana. It is a healthy beauty product: it nourishes and rejuvenates your skin and hair.
The baobab tree is known as the ‘Tree of Life’ and has been cherished by locals across the African continent for centuries.
Baobab oil is known for its unique features. It is an extremely stable oil and has a good measure of unsaturated and saturated fats. It is rich in antioxidants, phytosterols, tocopherols (above all vitamin E), and essential fatty acids like omega 6&9, palmitic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid. This organic baobab oil is highly penetrating, deeply nourishing, and softens dry skin. It re-moisturizes the epidermis. It restores and rejuvenates skin, scalp, and hair. This oil is excellent for massage or as an ingredient in lotions, soaps, and shampoos.
Or just apply directly!
Our oil has a typical earthy, nutty aroma and a golden yellow color.
