Baobab in powdered form is super easy to incorporate into your daily routine, so there’s no reason not to reap the benefits of this super fruit. Mix it into your daily smoothie, water, or tea for a burst of nutrition and skin goodness.
The Benefits of Baobab
- Vitamin C Content
Vitamin C is super important in your diet for many reasons, and just two scoops of baobab in powdered form has over half your daily recommended intake of vitamin C! But that’s not all: vitamin C is an antioxidant, so it protects your cells from free radicals. It particularly helps protect the skin from UV damage, which is important if you live in a sunny climate. Vitamin C also helps the skin produce collagen, which keeps your skin elastic and plump for a youthful radiance. ✨
Baobab has 6 x the vitamin C of oranges! 🍊
- Filled With Antioxidants and Polyphenols
In addition to vitamin C, baobab is also chock full of antioxidants and polyphenols. These are compounds that protect your cells from free radicals and oxidative damage. They help prevent wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of ageing so that you maintain gorgeous skin at any age. Antioxidants and polyphenols also help counteract inflammation, which is present in many skin conditions. By consuming baobab regularly, you’ll help provide your skin with the tools it needs to fight off environmental toxins and prevent future damage.

- Improves Gut Health
Because true health begins in the gut (including the health of our largest organ - our skin)! It's vital to take care of your gut health and not neglect this if you want beautiful, radiant skin.
Baobab is also packed with fibre (both soluble and insoluble), which has subtle benefits for your skin. One tablespoon (2 scoops) of powdered baobab can have almost a fifth of your daily recommended intake of fibre, which is truly incredible.
It's the prebiotic fibre in baobab that feeds the good bacteria in your gut and helps improve digestive health, which in turn keeps your gut happy. We know by now that a healthy gut can have a butterfly effect on the rest of your health, including your skin. By eating foods high in fibre like baobab, you can help improve the health and appearance of your skin.
Baobab might be hard to pronounce, but it’s definitely not hard to appreciate its long list of benefits. When it comes to your skin, nourishing it with powerful foods can help transform and rejuvenate it.
