Baobab oil (Mbuyu in Swahili) is derived from the seeds of the baobab tree, a tree that is native to Eastern and Southern Africa. Baobab oil has been part of African skin care for centuries. This rich, golden oil has a slightly nutty smell. It has a high content of vitamins A, D, E and F (essential fatty acids). Baobab oil is said to provide impressive moisturizing benefits to the skin and hair. It absorbs quickly, improves elasticity, encourages regeneration of skin cells and does not clog the pores. It is an excellent ingredient in formulations for eczema and psoriasis. Baobab oil is extremely stable against rancidity. Use in small percentages in creams, lotions, body butters and other skin care formulations.

Location: Marlton Your Baobab Oil is the best! I find it to be exceptional as an addition to other hair oils. My hair oil combo is never without it. It is a wonderful scalp & hair moisturizer and absorbs into the scalp well.

Location: Van Nuys, CA This is an amazing oil, it's so smooth it nearly feels like a second skin, and it has the most pleasant and somewhat unexpectedly soapy aroma. I LOVE it!
