Among the 57 references in the Dakimo catalogue, Baobab Oil is one of the ingredients formulators outside West Africa ask us about most.
What Is Baobab Oil?
Baobab oil is a premium vegetable oil obtained by cold pressing the seeds of Adansonia digitata, the baobab tree. Our reference (DKM-OIL-001) is sold under the INCI name Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil — extra virgin and cold-pressed, with no refining or solvent extraction.
Why Formulators Reach for It
- Deeply emollient and moisturising
- Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, offering antioxidant support
- Skin conditioning for face, body and hair
- Non-comedogenic, with lightweight absorption
Where It Fits in a Formulation
Baobab Oil is versatile across several categories: skin care (creams, lotions, serums), hair care (oils, conditioners, masks), body and lip care, and soap making.
Sourced and Documented at Origin
Our baobab seeds are collected from around Benin's W National Park and processed through our Boifo workshop in northern Benin, where nine women's cooperatives handle raw-material collection alongside two further cooperatives dedicated to our baobab and moringa powders.
Every batch of Baobab Oil ships with a full Technical Data Sheet and Certificate of Analysis (HS code 3304.99.00, 24-month shelf life), so your regulatory file is never waiting on us.
