- Properties
Baobab oil has a balanced breakdown of saturated, mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids with around 30% omega-6 and 3% omega-3. It has a significant unsaponifiable portion, and it is this fraction that holds the β-sitosterol at around 80%. β – sitosterol has been shown to be a strong anti-oxidant and to reduce DNA damage in cells.. The oil also contains vitamins A, D3 and E. Vitamin A, in combination with the essential fatty acids, aids in the rejuvenation and renewal of cell membranes.
