Derived from the majestic baobab trees that are native to northern Ghana, the baobab fruit dries naturally on the branches. After drying for six months in the hot sun, all of the moisture is removed from the fruit and the shell becomes hard.
Like all Baraka products, our baobab oil is traditionally harvested. This involves cracking open the shell, breaking up the fruit inside, removing all the seeds and finely sieving to retain all the natural goodness. What is left behind is a nutritionally dense superfood with more antioxidants than any other known fruit!
No chemicals, additives, animal testing, or harsh industrial processing. Just pure, natural baobab oil.
Every time you purchase Baraka’s baobab oil you have a direct impact on the women, families, and communities in northern Ghana. Not only does your order provide the dignity of income to hardworking women but helps support educational and economic projects in the community.
