MADE-IN-THE-GAMBIA PURE AND NATURAL BAOBAB OIL
We love products made in The Gambia!
What about you?
Khadija Baobab Oil oil is made out of only one ingredient: the baobab seed.
It is 100% natural with no artificial substances added to it.
The baobab oil is liquid gold with magical healing powers. High in linoleic and oleic acids, which are scientifically proven to have anti-ageing properties, reduce scars, sunburn and acne. It is also packed with Omega 3,6, and 9 Fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E and F, all of which are shown to aid maintenance of youthful skin.
And it is a perfect moisturiser for your skin and hair. It has an anti-ageing effect and helps heal acne, sunburns, stretch marks, scars. It is also an ideal insect repellent.
As it is used more and more in The Gambia, many of its customers have found it to ease the irritation of insect bites and some have found it to be an effective repellant. As it is 100% natural, it also soaks straight into the skin and does not leave a sticky residue.
Baobab oil is also an excellent souvenir/gift for your family and friends back home.
