Baobab oil: benefits for skin, hair & nails
Share
What is baobab oil?
Baobab oil comes from the seeds of the baobab tree, often called "the tree of life." Once a year, the tree's flowers bloom and produce seed-filled fruit. Cold pressing those seeds produces a rich, nourishing oil. Our baobab oil is handcrafted in Senegal, 100% pure and cold-pressed, with no pesticides or preservatives.
Key benefits
Baobab oil supports your skin, hair, and nails in several ways:
- Skin nourishment. Baobab oil is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and F, which help nourish skin, improve elasticity, and soothe dryness.
- Anti-aging support. Omega fatty acids help baobab oil fight free radicals and support a healthy-looking complexion.
- Skin comfort. The oil's natural anti-inflammatory properties help calm redness, itchiness, and dry, sensitive skin, including rough or flaky patches.
- Lightweight hydration. Baobab oil absorbs quickly and won't clog pores, making it a fit for all skin types, even oily skin.
- Hair repair. Vitamins A, E, and F help regenerate damaged hair and soothe an itchy, irritated scalp.
- Shine and softness. Oleic acid penetrates the hair shaft while surface fatty acids create a smoothing film, making hair easier to detangle and adding natural shine.
- Nail strength. Baobab oil's protein and calcium content supports strong, healthy nails and helps with dry, cracked cuticles.
How to use baobab oil
On your face: Apply with smoothing strokes, working from the center of your face outward.
