Baobab seed extract is derived from the fruit of the baobab tree, which is native to Africa. The tree is also known as the “tree of life” because it is so resilient, living up to thousands of years and can provide food, water, and shelter in the harshest of environments. The fruit of the baobab tree is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it an ideal ingredient for skin care products.
The extract has a high concentration of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production. Collagen is a main structural protein in the skin, so it's important for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Baobab seed extract also contains vitamins A and E, which are both antioxidants that help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
In addition to its antioxidant properties, baobab seed extract is also a good source of fatty acids, which are important for maintaining the skin’s barrier function and keeping the skin moisturized. The extract can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and it can also help to improve the overall radiance of the skin.
Baobab seed extract can be found in our day+night renewing face cream.
