The Baobab tree is able to live for thousands of years and is renowned in Africa, it’s country of origin, for its beneficial properties. Extracted from the seeds of the baobab fruit, the oil has a clear, golden yellow colour, a slightly nutty odour and is abundant in essential fatty acids. Although it has a rich consistency, the oil is easily absorbed, leaving no greasy or oily residue.

Baobab oil is high in vitamins A, C, D and E. Vitamin C is vital in the formation of collagen – the tissue which gives skin its firmness – as well as having powerful antioxidant properties that neutralize free radicals. Only a small amount of dietary vitamin C reaches the skin and studies have shown that applying vitamin C topically is twenty times more effective for the skin than when taken orally.

The vitamins within many of the carrier oils contain a myriad of skin-building ingredients and baobab oil is no exception: vitamin A stimulates and increases the deposition of collagen and supports elastin (which gives skin its elasticity); vitamin D promotes the skin’s barrier against foreign microbes; and vitamin E, like C, contains powerful antioxidants. The antioxidant properties of the vitamins also protect the oil itself from oxidizing and breaking down, thereby increasing its stability and shelf life. Without these, the composition of the oil, being high in essential fatty acids, would make it susceptible to oxidation.

What is the importance of the fatty acids known as Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9 contained in the baobab oil? They are called ‘essential fatty acids’ because they are vital to health, yet the body is unable to manufacture them. Just two of their specific roles are cell regeneration, aiding vitamin absorption. Increasing omega oils into the body, both orally and topically, is particularly therapeutic for treating psoriasis and eczema.

Skincare

Use Baobab Oil as a gentle yet effective makeup remover and cleanser. Apply a few drops to a cotton wool pad and sweep across your skin to remove dirt and makeup.

Massage

Use on its own or create your own massage oil blend by combining with another carrier oil and your favourite essential oils.

Hair Care

Smooth a couple of drops on to your damp hair before styling for super shiny and frizz-free locks. It can be used as an intensive hot oil treatment. Warm around 5ml of Baobab Oil in the microwave, taking care not to make it too hot. Massage into your damp hair from root to tip, cover with a towel and leave for 20-30 minutes. Wash thoroughly, you may need to shampoo twice to remove all the oil.

Beauty Hack

Add a couple of drops to your moisturizer for an extra hydration boost

Benefits

1. Oil Cleansing

This involves using baobab oil and hot water to cleanse the stale oils in the skin. The baobab oil goes into the skin as a soft cloth dabbed in hot water massages the face. The heat makes it easy for the baobab oil to enter the skin pores and push away stale oils that are blocking the pores.

All you need is to mix 2 oz. of jojoba oil with two tablespoons of baobab oil, and five drops of sea buckthorn oil and store it in a cabinet. Put a few drops on your face and continue with the cleaning method.

2. Healing Massage

If you need a healing massage, try using the baobab oil. It feels smooth on the skin and does not leave any residue, but keeps the skin moisturised. Get half a cup of jojoba oil and mix it with three tablespoons of baobab oil. You can use 20 drops of lavender oil to add a relaxing scent. Just make sure you store the mixture in an amber bottle.

3. Greaseless Moisturizing

Baobab oil is silky and smooth to feel, and it doesn’t create a greasy coat on the skin. It sinks right into the skin immediately it is used. For moisturising purposes; add 2 oz. of baobab oil to 1 oz. of grapeseed oil. Add ten drops of lavender oil and five drops of tea tree oil and homogenise. A few drops on your face and your body should give you a satisfactory result.

4. Rejuvenation of Skin Cells

The skin easily gets damaged by a lot of factors, especially the sun. Some harsh skincare products might be the cause in a lot of cases. Since the baobab oil contains a lot of vitamins and nourishing nutrients, it can heal the skin from within and rejuvenate the cells. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that decrease the redness of the skin and reduce inflammation.

5. Restoration and Production of Collagen

You can make a collagen restoration serum using the baobab oil. Baobab oil contains vitamin C, and vitamin C is required for reducing skin ageing. It stimulates the skin’s production of collagen and restores the collagen on aged skin. First, you would need a tablespoon of baobab oil, a tablespoon of argan oil, and a tablespoon of chia seed oil.

Now add five drops of lavender oil, four drops of geranium oil, five drops of neroli oil, and four drops of lemon oil. Homogenise the mixture, and use only three drops on your skin every night to get the best results.

6. Skin Nourishing

There are a lot of nutrients in the baobab oil, and they sink into the skin to nourish the cells in the skin layer. These nutrients include the vitamins A, C, D, E and K, and Omega fatty acids 3, 6 and 9. They help the cells perform optimally and keep the skin healthy.

7. Eye Serum

The baobab oil also does well in keeping the under-eye skin looking youthful. All you need is three tablespoons of baobab oil, three drops of lavender oil, and two tablespoons of jojoba oil. Shake the mixture well, and add a drop under each eye with your finger. Try to massage as gently as you can.

8. Balancing Skin Oil Production

People with low levels of linoleic acid in their skin produce more oil on their skin surface. However, the Omega 6 acid (linoleic acid) constituent of baobab oil meets this need and balances the production of oil in the skin. You need a mixture of 2 tablespoons of baobab oil and hemp seed oil to fill a 2 oz — amber dropper bottle. A couple of drops on your face is okay.

9. Anti-Inflammation

Inflammation of the skin can easily be treated with baobab oil. Either it is Psoriasis, Eczema, or Rosacea, all you need is to apply a suitable to the affected area after taking a bath. Use it on wet skin for the best results.

10. Sensitive Scalp Soothe

If you have a susceptible scalp, you need to consider making a hair oil with baobab oil. Add a tablespoon of baobab oil to a glass jar, and add a quarter cup of creamy coconut oil and five drops of peppermint oil to the pot too. Use a mixer to whip the mixture to create a creamy paste. Apply it to your scalp after you take a shower.

11. Glossy Hair

Adding baobab oil to your hair makes it look bright and silky. There is not much explanation for that.

12. Reduction of Stretch Marks

The vitamin content of baobab oil helps to reduce stretch marks. It maintains the skin elasticity and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin under the skin. This heals the stretch marks in the process.
