Baobab oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of fruit from Baobab tree. The tree is native to the dry, hot savannahs of eastern and southern Africa. It survives in this dry climate because of its ability to absorb any water and moisture present in the ground and the air.

The oil is rich in oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acids and in vitamins A, D, E and F. Baobab is a stable oil with excellent skin softening and moisturising properties. Historically, it has been used by the indigenous people of eastern and southern Africa for skin and hair care.

Baobab is particularly good for eradicating blemishes and spots on the skin thanks to its skin cell regenerating properties.  It has incredible moisturising properties for both the skin and hair.  It penetrates easily and is a good choice for formulations for eczema and psoriasis.  

Baobab is a stable oil although it is best to use in low proportions in creams, lotions, body butters etc.
