Baobabs thrive in semi-arid and subtropical parts of Africa. They prefer hot annual temperatures between 20°C and 30°C and the seeds will only germinate when the soil is hotter than 28°C! Mature baobabs require no irrigation whatsoever but it can take up to 20 years before they are considered mature and begin to bear fruit.

Yes.
Baobab Seed Oil is a natural ingredient with remarkable benefits. Its harvest and manufacture directly uplifts the lives of rural communities, especially women. The sustainable use of baobab products is extremely important for the plants, as they are heavily dependent on environmental conditions to survive.
