Benefits of Baobab Oil
-
Lightens dark spots
Baobab offers so many potential benefits to the hair, skin, and nails due to the vitamins and minerals it contains. Vitamin C is commonly found in baobab, which helps relieve the skin of dullness and brighten a dull complexion.Boosts antioxidants
Believe it or not, baobab boasts some of the highest antioxidant content of all superfoods per serving. This, along with its ability to fight free radicals, makes it a perfect ingredient for irritated sensitive or maturing skin.
Heals dry skin
The Baobab seeds, when pressed, produce a beautiful antioxidant-rich golden oil with omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids that aid in locking in moisture even for the driest skin.

Promotes a healthy skin barrier
Baobab contains skin friendly fatty acids such as omega 3, 6, 9 and a handful of vitamins. Due to its omega content, it's considered a great ingredient for maintaining a healthy skin barrier.
Increases collagen
Not only is Baobab rich in antioxidants but it also has more vitamin C than most other fruits. This, paired with the oil's omega fatty acid content, makes baobab a vital substance for radiant, youthful-looking skin.
Strengthens nails
One of the most impressive potential benefits of baobab is its ability to heal cracked and dry nails. This is because baobab contains high amounts of protein and calcium, both of which might aid in healing and maintaining strong, healthy nails.
This is literally one of my most favorite plant oil (and not just because it has Bao in the name!) This is why I use it in nearly all the BAO products.
