Shea Terra Organics Tanzanian Baobab Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Oil | Hair Conditioner, Anti-Aging, Vitamin E Oil | All Skin Types - 2 oz

Dotting the African terrain is the "upside down tree" - the baobab - also referred to as the "Tree of Life.". Many of these exotic looking trees are more than three thousand years old. Baobab oil is made from baobab seeds, found inside of large capsule-like fruits produced by the magnificent baobab trees of the African savannas. The fruits mature during the dry season and drop off the trees when ready to harvest. The seeds are extracted from the baobab fruit by first cracking the hard outer capsule. The extracted seeds are then washed to remove a powder coating and then air dried in the hot sun. Baobab oil is cold pressed from the seed and filtered for the highest and purest quality available. The oil is a viscous, smooth oil that is extremely fast absorbing. This makes it a great moisturizer. When applied to the face or hands, it will not leave a greasy look or feel.

Natural Beauty that Empowers

Shea Terra Organics is founded by Tammie Umbel, an enterprising super mom, who built the company while homeschooling 14 of her children. Shea Terra Organics grew out of Tammie's vision to develop natural skin care treatments that would not only heal and beautify those who use them, but also empower and enrich the lives of many impoverished villages and families throughout Africa.

Since early 2000, Shea Terra Organics has been working with cooperatives and conservation groups to source our natural, organic ingredients in a sustainable and ethical way that would create economic opportunities and preserve wildlife. We share these indigenous, time-tested healing ingredients through our breadth of product lines, which include facial care, body treatments, hair herbals and maternity & newborn remedies.
