On Skin
Baobab oil, often called "Africa’s Tree of Life" oil, is a nutrient-rich botanical oil cold-pressed from the seeds of the baobab fruit, native to the African savannah. Known for its lightweight texture and powerful restorative properties, baobab oil is prized in both traditional and modern skincare for its ability to deeply nourish and revitalize the skin

History
Across West, Central, and Southern Africa, baobab trees are seen as community anchors—places where elders gather, stories are shared, and traditional knowledge is passed down. The fruit pulp has long been consumed for its high vitamin C content, while the seeds were pressed into oil used by women to protect and nourish their skin in harsh desert climates. In many rural communities, baobab oil is still made using ancestral techniques and passed from generation to generation as a beauty and wellness staple
