Baobab oil

Baobab oil is obtained by cold pressing the seeds of the fruit of the African baobab tree (Adansonia digitata). This oil is highly valued for its unique composition — it is rich in essential fatty acids (omega-3, -6, and -9) and contains significant amounts of vitamins A, D, E, and K.

Scientific research confirms that baobab oil has intense emollient properties, effectively improving skin hydration and reducing transepidermal water loss¹. In addition, it exhibits antioxidant activity thanks to its high tocopherol content, which helps protect the skin from oxidative stress and premature aging². Baobab oil is also known for its soothing effect, which can help relieve dryness and irritation³.
