Ingredient Spotlight: Baobab

We believe natural products don't have to be stinky, sticky, or stuffy. We're all about good, clean fundown to our nitty-gritty ingredients. We follow good manufacturing practices to make sure every ingredient is clearly sourced, clean, animal cruelty-free, and all-natural. Today, we're talking about Baobab, the fruit of Africa's 'Tree of Life'.

Baobab

Pronounced: "Bayo-bab"

What it is

Baobab is the only fruit in the world that dries on the branch naturally. Baking in the sun for 6 months, baobab’s green, prickly, velvet-like coating transforms into a smooth, brown, coconut-like shell. Inside it’s hard casing is the dry white-ish pulp of the fruit which contains no moisture whatsoever. Using baobab, we produce a natural and organic powder that is incredibly nutrient-rich, with an equally impressive range of benefits.

What it does

Baobab leaves your hair feeling softer, smoother, and more manageable. It also helps protect hair from environmental stress and control frizz in humid climates. Baobab is beneficial for your immune system, blood sugar, digestive health, and skin.
