Have you noticed that organic products feel different from their synthetic counterparts? There is a reason for this: it all comes down to the base ingredients used in organic skin formulations. Once applied, you can see your skin feels different, not just after application but also over time; it feels smoother and more hydrated. Sometimes they take a little longer to sink in or make an effect due to the oil component.

Conventional skincare contains synthetic ingredients such as fillers, silicon, and slip agents. These make the product feel smooth as they give the product slip and are designed to settle on the top of the skin, creating a smooth skin surface. It also makes your skin appear more hydrated than it is. In reality, the wall created by fillers and silicone agents creates an occlusive coat, trapping ingredients below it and stopping the skin from breathing. While this may make your skin feel better in the short term, they provide little nourishment for the skin over a long time.

Skin “breathing” is a critical function of body detoxification. While creating a barrier to the outside world, the skin also allows substances such as water, waste products, and oxygen to pass through its layers. Suppose these are trapped below an occlusive lotion such as silicone. In that case, it can lead to skin health issues such as congestion, poor skin texture, and irritation. Extended exposure to sweat under an occlusive layer can cause further irritation. In addition, skin exposure to ingredients such as artificial colors and scents, which are already the most significant cause of skin issues, can become even more problematic if trapped under an occlusive layer.

By contrast, natural base oils and butter also allow the skin to breathe as fatty substances are absorbed into the skin rather than sitting on the surface, carrying essential ingredients such as antioxidants, plant nutrients, vitamins, and minerals through the outer layer. In addition, they are a source of critical essential fatty acids, glycolipids, and phospholipids, which support the skin cell membranes and permit nutrients and water into the cell and toxins out.

The mighty Baobab, The African Tree of Life, is a nutrient-rich seed oil with unique anti-aging properties for the skin.

Baobab Oil is cold pressed and is rich in Vitamins A, D, & E, as well as Omega 3, 6 & 9 Essential Fatty Acids (Vitamin F).

Let’s look at the 4 Secret Skin Benefits of Baobab Oil.

1. Vitamin A: The vitamin necessary for healthy skin. Vitamin A applied directly to the skin has been used to treat acne and skin wrinkling and mottled pigmentation caused by chronic sun exposure. Topical Vitamin A has been suggested to help build collagen fibers within the dermis besides its more superficial exfoliating property. This is the basis for its use in minimizing the appearance of fine wrinkle lines.

• Vitamin D: One of Vitamin’s benefits is to act as a powerful antioxidant. Vitamin D can play a role in preventing the premature aging of skin and damage to the skin structure. Vitamin D is produced in the skin due to sun exposure. Topically applied Vitamin D can be absorbed by the skin and may help supplement deficiency.

• Vitamin E: Vitamin E is an antioxidant. It can help prevent free radical damage. Based on the observation that skin damage caused by the sun and other environmental agents is induced by free radicals, vitamin E may be effective in preventing skin damage. It is used in more and more skin preparations to fend off this damage.

• Omega 3, 6, & 9 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs): EFAs are natural penetration enhancers due to their fluidizing effect on cell membranes. Combining their physiological activities with their ability to increase the transport of bioactive agents through the skin creates a synergistic effect with other nutrients, such as the Vitamins mentioned above. Through these beneficial skin influences on skin barrier function and penetration, EFAs help improves the structure, function, and appearance of aged skin and are extremely useful in anti-aging formulas.
