Baobab Carrier Oil

​Botanical Name: Adansonia Digitata

​Aromatic Description / Scent:  Light, nutty scent.

The Baobab tree is considered "Tree of Life" as it has a lifespan of 2000 years and provides food, water and shelter to the indigenous people of Africa. The tree's unusual appearance comes from the legend of the God Thora who took a dislike to the Baobab growing in his garden. He tossed it to Earth below and it landed upside down. Another folktale is that the Baobab was one of first trees to appear on Earth. When other trees appeared, the Baobab protested that it wanted to be taller, to have flowers, and bear fruit. The Gods grew angry at the tree, pulled it up by its roots, and replanted in upside down to quiet the tree. ​
