BAOBAB OIL : UNREFINED
BAOBAB OIL : UNREFINED
Here are some images I took when I visited the Volta region of Ghana in April 2011. The baobab seeds were so refreshingly tasty to snack on after a long warm journey travelling upstream.
Baobab tree is another amazing tree. Standing majestically in front of my "residence" whilst I worked in Northern Ghana in April 2011, it bears the hairiest fruit I have ever seen. Known as towa in Dagbani, it is revered for its medicinal use.
Why is it amazing? Well, it is quite rare to find a tree which has many uses:
* the tree produces gum which is traditionally used to numb tooth ache
* the leaves are edible and can be used in soup
* the fruit can be used in ice cream
* the roots can be used as potash for soap making
* the casing of the fruit can be used as a musical instrument
...... the list goes on :)

Reviews
I don't think I could exaggerate how good this is.
I have okay skin, but I am prone to break outs.
In the six months of using this daily my skin has definitely improved. I get maybe 1 spot at a time instead of everywhere, my skin looks clearer and in better condition, and I no longer have dry patches.
Thoroughly recommend!!
