BAOBAB OIL : UNREFINED
 
(3 reviews)  

From plant to bottle, this beautiful community traded cold pressed healing oil from Ghana is easily absorbed and highly moisturising due to its oleic acid content [omega-9 - monounsaturated].
Native to Africa (adansonia digitata species), rich moisturising unrefined baobab oil is pressed from the seeds of the baobab "the upside down tree" tree.
A fantastic oil for dry itchy sensitive skin, baobab oil is rich in vitamin c and helps improve skin elasticity. Great oil for conditioning the hair - try it on its own or with a little bit of our organic argan oil to tame the frizz.

Due to the palmitic acid content, baobab may solidify under cold temperature.
The unusual tree which also grows in Northern parts of Ghana bears the fruit known as monkey bread. The tree provides a seating place for wise men to share ideas.

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 :)

PAPAYA SOAP : PAWPAW SOAP
A very gentle and very effective cleanser that leaves my skin feeling clean,soft and hydrated. My dark marks are fading and my skin tone is becoming more evenly balanced. I like to rub the soap in for about 90 secs until its all absorbed before rinsing. Also a gentle exfoliant so a great alternative for skin that is sensitive to more abrasive exfoliants
