Baobab Oil is used for dry and wrinkled skin and against chapping. It is also effective in scalp care, giving shine to dry hair. It is particularly recommended for strengthening brittle nails. It is also used in massage creams. In Africa, baobab oil is used in massage to soothe exhausted bodies.
BAOBAB POWDER

Useful in case of inflammatory diseases (arthrosis) and joint pain. Its interesting composition would also allow it to have a certain role to play in the muscular contraction, the good functioning of the nervous system and in the blood coagulation
