The scientific name for the baobab tree is Adansonia digitata. In Africa, people call it “the tree of life” and “the pharmacy tree” because of its many beneficial uses. The baobab tree’s figure is iconic in Africa: a tall, thick trunk that looks like it is upside down with its roots in the air.
The baobab tree is actually a succulent, which means that during the rainy season it absorbs and stores water in its vast trunk, enabling it to produce a nutrient-dense fruit in the dry season when all around is dry and arid. The fruit alone has 7 to 10 times more vitamin C than an orange! This is how it became known as “The Tree of Life”.
Baobab oil has calcium, iron, vitamin B, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese. This plant oil is packed full of healthy omega 3 fatty acids that can help with softening the skin, skin flaking, elasticity and may help heal the skin’s barrier and lock in moisture.
