Description

Celebrate the power of Africa with our certified Organic Baobab Oil.

Cold-pressed from the seeds of the ancient Baobab tree ("The Tree of Life"), this oil is a nutrient-dense superfood for the skin.

Baobab oil is famous for its unique texture. It feels rich and silky upon application but absorbs surprisingly quickly, leaving a non-greasy, satin-smooth finish. It is packed with Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids and rare vitamins, making it the ultimate barrier repair oil.

Key Benefits & Uses:

Intense Barrier Repair: This is its #1 superpower. If your skin barrier is damaged (red, stinging, or constantly dry), Baobab is the "fixer." It nourishes deep down to rebuild the skin's defense system.

The "Stretch Mark" Saviour: It is renowned for its ability to improve skin elasticity. It is famously used during and after pregnancy to help prevent and reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scarring.

Deep Hydration for Dry Skin: It provides intense moisture for chronically dry, flaky, or ashy skin without clogging pores. It is excellent for soothing conditions like eczema and psoriasis.


Collagen Support (Anti-Ageing): Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, it fights free radicals and supports collagen production, helping to keep skin plump and youthful.

Hair & Scalp Conditioner: Massage into the scalp to soothe dryness or run through hair ends to smooth frizz and add a healthy shine.


IDENTIFICATION

Cold pressed from the mighty Baobab fruit nuts, our carrier oil has been used traditionally by African women for centuries to nourish, soften and smooth even the driest and most sensitive skins. Baobab oil is also used to nourish, de-tangle and promote softness of hair, making them easy to manage and style. 

 

With baobab oil, hair and skin feel wonderfully silky. 

 

Perfectly balanced, emollient, regenerating, nourishing and packed with antioxidants, Baobab oil penetrates the skin and hair effortlessly. Baobab Oil is your head-to-toe pampering companion!
