- Properties
- Baobab oil has a balanced breakdown of saturated, mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids with around 30% omega-6 and 3% omega-3. It has a significant unsaponifiable portion, and it is this fraction that holds the β-sitosterol at around 80%. β – sitosterol has been shown to be a strong anti-oxidant and to reduce DNA damage in cells.
- The oil also contains vitamins A, D3 and E. Vitamin A, in combination with the essential fatty acids, aids in the rejuvenation and renewal of cell membranes.
