Baobab oil, certified organic
Organic, cold‑pressed baobab oil is derived from the seeds of the majestic baobab tree found in Africa. Revered for centuries for its unique properties, this oil is now appreciated in natural beauty routines for its distinctive blend of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Its rich composition has made baobab oil a popular ingredient for those seeking to naturally nourish and moisturise both skin and hair.
Skincare Uses
Moisturisation: Baobab oil is believed to help keep the skin supple and moisturised, with its balanced profile of palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids potentially supporting the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Gentle and non‑irritating: Often considered non‑irritating, it is seen as a suitable choice for various skin types, with a gentle profile that may contribute to overall skin comfort.
Haircare Uses
Natural moisturiser: In haircare, baobab oil is thought to act as a natural moisturiser, potentially aiding in reducing dryness and improving manageability.
Nourishing properties: Its unique ability to penetrate hair strands is said to offer nourishment from within, which may help in managing frizz and enhancing hair texture.
Deep conditioning: Frequently included in hair masks, baobab oil is valued for its potential to provide deep conditioning, contributing to a smoother and more manageable appearance.
Additional Uses
Versatile ingredient: Baobab oil is often incorporated into a wide range of cosmetic formulations, offering a natural option for enhancing both skincare and haircare products.
