Pure Baobab Oil (Cold-Pressed, Unrefined)

Description

Baobab oil is pressed from the seeds of Adansonia digitata, the “tree of life” of the African savannah. Ours is cold-pressed and left unrefined, so it keeps its natural golden colour and its mild, nutty aroma.

It contains a balance of oleic, linoleic and palmitic fatty acids, along with natural vitamin E. This makes it a good middle-ground oil for formulators: richer than a dry oil, but much lighter than butters like shea or cocoa.

Baobab Oil is a lightweight, nutrient-dense African oil packed with omega fatty acids and antioxidants – suitable for dry skin, brittle hair.

A note on unrefined oil

Because this oil is unrefined, its colour and scent can vary slightly from batch to batch, and you may see a little natural cloudiness or sediment. This is normal and doesn’t affect quality.

Frequently asked questions

Is baobab oil good for hair?
Yes. It is commonly used in hair oils, masks and leave-in treatments for softness and shine.

Can I use it on my face?
Many people do. As with any new ingredient, patch-test first, especially if your skin is sensitive.

Why does my oil smell nutty and look golden?
That’s the nature of unrefined, cold-pressed oil. Nothing has been stripped out to remove its natural colour or scent.

What is the difference between baobab oil and shea butter?
Baobab oil is a liquid oil with a lighter feel. Shea butter is solid and richer. They work well together in creams and balms.

Do you sell in bulk?
