Baobab Oil
What is it?
A seed oil pressed from Adansonia digitata (baobab), rich in oleic, linoleic and palmitic fatty acids, traditionally used across Africa for skin and hair care.
What does it do?
Emollient plant oil -- its fatty-acid profile (free fatty acids, triglycerides, vitamins, antioxidants) is associated with supporting skin barrier function and wound healing per traditional-use literature review; direct clinical-trial data on baobab oil specifically for skin remains limited.
