Application, Properties & Efficacy
Moyo Baobab Oil offers a myriad of benefits for application in skincare.
Highly penetrative and deeply nourishing, Moyo Baobab oil promotes moisture retention and softens the skin. As a regenerative agent, the oil renews cell membranes, restores and moisturises the epidermis, and increases tone and elasticity by regenerating the epithelial tissues.
As an anti-oxidant, Moyo Baobab Oil reduces DNA damage, and protects against damage from free radicals. A gentle and soothing lipid, Moyo Baobab Oil alleviates irritation, is non-allergenic and relieves symptoms of eczema and psoriasis. As such, the oil can be used as an ingredient for sensitive skin formulations.
With broadly balanced ratios of palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids, and significant levels of β-sitersterol and γ-tocopherol, Moyo Baobab Oil is a substitute to Argan and wheat germ oils.

Botanical and Traditional Context
The Baobab tree is found throughout Africa, and is commonly referred to as the ‘Tree of Life’ or ‘Upside Down Tree’ and is firmly entrenched in the local culture. The Baobab fruit ripens between March and June in southern Africa, and November to December in the northern parts of the continent. Opening the Baobab shell reveals a creamy-white coloured pulp that holds black bean-sized seeds, which are pressed to produce the gold coloured Baobab oil.
Traditionally, baobab oil has been used as a moisturiser and massage oil, as well as for hair and body conditioning.
The word ‘moyo’ means life in the African language of Chichewa, which is spoken in Malawi – one of our sourcing regions.
