Ideal for preparing cosmetic formulations with anti-oxidant and allergen-free properties.
It is particularly suitable for the production of anti-age cosmetics given the high
content of Vitamin C and tannins. It also contains Alpha and Beta Carotenes,
calcium, gum mucilage, uronic acid, rhamnose, glutamic acid, amino acids.
It is
suitable for the production of products to nourish the epidermis and help make it
elastic. Thanks to its Vitamin PP content, it is also recommended for
use in trichological products (ceramids).
Since it has anti-inflammatory properties, it can also be used as body cream.
In traditional pharmacopoeia, it is used as a tonic to treat ophthalmic
infections, to cure and prevent parasites or insect bites and for treatment of dry skin.
- Anti-age products (presence of vitamin C and tannins, anti-oxidant)

- ADANSONIA DIGITATA (Baobab) OXY OIL (Seeds and Fiber) in Lipoid Extract 1:1
Widely viewed as "THE ULTIMATE" cosmetic product, the resulting lipoid extract, unlike ordinary Baobab oil (obtained by pressure with extremely
low yields at high temperatures), it is obtained by extracting the seed via ultra-sound and filtration at low temperatures; 800 parts of finely cut Baobab Seeds and Red
Fibers, 200 parts of Sunflower Oil (Heliantus annuus). This traditional method is used in African villages.
The cataplasm obtained from grinding the seeds is applied to burns and bruises; this soothes the pain and makes the wound heal properly.
The extract contains the liposoluble proteins and vitamins of the Baobab Seed and the Fatty Acids in Sunflower Oil. They nourish the skin and
are effective in cases of acne, furunculosis, psoriasis, wounds and inflammations. As such, the extract can be used in dermocosmetic formulations.
Daily use of this extract helps slow the aging oxidant process and recover a well-toned and moisturized skin. It is ideal for treating
dry wrinkle-proned skins. Rich in active ingredients, it is a genuine concentrate of the rich vegetable oils of the Baobab and
Sunflower plants. These skin-friendly products have the advantage of nourishing the skin, leaving just a slight radiant non-oily film.
It is also recommended in cases of sunburns or accident-related burns. When rubbed on the areas concerned, it provides immediate relief
to pain and/or red patches.
It contains: Alpha and Beta Carotenes, Stearic, Palmitic and Oleic Acid,
Amino Acids, Tannins, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin. This extract may be used in:
- Oils (Baobab Oil) to restore the skin's elasticity and radiance on the face and body
- Dermocosmetic formulations (2-3%) such as face creams, moisturisers, after-sun products
(The extract is to be used as provided and should not be refined afterwards.)
- ADANSONIA DIGITATA (Baobab) Leaves (Dry and micronized at low temperatures)

properties and since the gel, obtained by soaking the
leaves in water, releases aromas and colorants, the Leaf can be used in:

- Herbal teas for baths and showers
- Powdered air fresheners with anti-bacterial action
- Solid and liquid soaps
