Product Description
The baobab oil is derived from the fruit seeds of the Adansonia tree. Baobab oil is commonly used for skin care and is one of the few oils added in its raw state in cosmetic products. Baobab oil is one of the most prominent oils from Africa.
These trees store water in their trunks and can survive years of drought. They also live up to thousands of years. They have been used traditionally in Africa to extract cooking oil. Its fruit resembles coconuts, but the taste is somewhat tart. These fruits are high in many nutrients and are of great nutritional importance.
