Baobab Oil
Fast-Absorbing Luxury Emollient
What it is, what it's made of, what it does
Baobab oil is cold-pressed from Adansonia digitata seeds. Studies show it's rich in linoleic acid (~30–36%), oleic acid (~25–40%), and palmitic acid (~25–29%), giving a profile that is both emollient and fast-absorbing. Clinical work on baobab-based formulations has shown improvements in skin hydration and barrier function, with good tolerability for sensitive skin. The key value is sensory: high omegas with a very light, non-greasy finish.
