The Baobab Seed
See product detail for more scientific info

The Baobab seed accounts for a significant share of the baobab fruit (40%). It is composed of a thin epicarp with a white oily endocarp.

The Baobab seed is used as:

- antiallergenic
- antidysenteric
- anti-inflammatory
- to extract a dermocosmetic oil

BUY BAOBAB SEED MICRONISED
BUY BAOBAB SEED LIPOID EXTRACT
Thanks to a micronisation process with a Patented machine that divides Endocarp - Endosperm (nucleo) from pericarp - tegument (exterior) of Baobab Seed, we obtain a product that can be used in formulation with high presence of Fatty Acids and Aminoacids or as is in tablets for human nutrition.
