What is Baobab oil?

Emollient and softening, baobab oil is easily absorbed, leaving your skin particularly soft to the touch.

It contains many tocopherols (like its neighbor argan oil).
Its unsaponifiables include cyclopropenic acids, which are certainly the source of this anti-inflammatory activity.

This oil is traditionally used as a massage oil.

Its history

The baobab is one of the most recognizable trees in the African savannah. It is found in most subhumid to semi-arid regions south of the Sahara. The Baobab is the African tree that doesn’t go unnoticed. Not to notice would be to visit Africa with blinders on.

Often wider than it is tall, with root-like branches and largely leafless for much of the year, The baobab, also called by Africans “the magic tree”, “the pharmacist tree”, “the tree of life” or “the upside-down tree”, seems to deserve all these nicknames.

Usually only 14 to 23 meters high, the Baobab is renowned for the gigantic circumference of its trunk, which can reach 38 meters.

During the rainy season, it produces edible fruit, which is then used to make oil.
From the seeds of this fruit, oil is extracted by first cold pressing.
