Kupanda Moyo Baobab Oil (Refined) is found throughout Africa, and is commonly referred to as the ‘Tree of Life’ or ‘Upside Down Tree’. Standing aloft across the African savannah, the trees firmly entrenched in the local culture.  The baobab fruit ripens during March to June in southern Africa, and November to December in the northern parts of the continent. Opening the baobab shell reveals a creamy-white colored pulp that smothers black bean-sized seeds, which are pressed to produce a flowing golden oil. Traditionally, baobab oil has been used as a moisturizer and massage oil, as well as for hair and body conditioning. Beyond personal care, the oil has been used with other plants to treat medical conditions, and for cooking. The word ‘moyo’ means life in the African language of Chichewa, which is spoken in Malawi – one of our sourcing regions.
