Baobab

Have you heard of the Adansonia (baobab) tree? This beautiful tree is often referred to as "The Tree of Life" because its huge trunk can hold up to 100,000 liters of water, allowing it to produce nutrient-packed fruit throughout the driest of seasons. Due to its spidery, root-like arms, the baobab has also been dubbed the "upside down tree" and can grow close to 100 feet and live for more than 1,000 years.

Almost every part of the massive baobab tree can be utilized. The baobab's coconut-sized fruit are high in several vitamins and antioxidants, as well as Omega 6 and 9 fatty acids. Baobab seeds are rich in oil, calcium, phosphates and proteins; the pollen can be used for making glue; the fibers from the trunk can be made into paper and rope mats; the tender leaves are high in calcium and can be eaten like spinach; and tea and beer can be made from the bark. 

BAOBAB is a company that crafts organic products that protect, hydrate, and pamper the skin using baobab oil and other natural, plant-based ingredients. By choosing BAOBAB, you also become a part of the Happy Hands movement, which brings soap and hygiene education to schools in need.

Baobob oil is believed to improve skin's elasticity and help heal damaged skin. Since this oil is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and F, it beautifully restores the complexion and combats the early signs of aging. Because baobab oil is so easily absorbed into the skin, it doesn't clog pores or leave a greasy residue. Not to mention, tea tree oil eliminates fungus and bacteria, treats acne, and rejuvenates the skin.

Made with organic essential oils, this body wash smells so pure and invigorating! Its delicious, mint aroma makes you feel refreshed and super clean! The texture of this wash is smooth and silky, and it takes no time to develop a rich, luxe lather. I can't get enough of this viscous, moisturizing soap and neither can my husband! If you have had a difficult time finding unisex green alternatives, I highly recommend this emollient, buttery body wash! 

I am so smitten with these balms!! They are luxuriously creamy, moisturizing, organic, and smell divine! They leave my lips feeling hydrated and protected from the elements. I've also noticed that these balms help heal my dry, cracked lips incredibly well!

The Açai Berry balm has a sweet, fruity scent and the Double Mint is tingly and fresh!

With such amazing ingredients, don't be afraid to use these balms on your cuticles or other dry, irritated areas of skin that are also in need of some love and attention.
