5 Ways to Use Baobab Powder

In DIY skincare, Baraka baobab powder is used as a face mask ingredient, mixed into a paste just before use, and it is for cosmetic use only. It comes from the fruit of baobab trees native to northern Ghana, which dries naturally on the branches. 

After drying for six months in the hot African sun, all of the moisture is removed from the fruit and the shell becomes hard.

Our baobab powder is traditionally harvested by:

1. Cracking open the shell
2. Breaking up the fruit
3. Removing the seeds and shaking it through a fine sieve to remove the larger fibres
4. All the natural goodness is left and ready to use

Baobab powder is made from the dried fruit of the baobab tree. Finding fresh baobab fruit can be difficult, even in Ghana, so baobab powder is an easier way to work with it.

Baraka baobab powder is for cosmetic use only, not food.

1. Add to Water

The simplest way to get the benefits of baobab powder is to add one tablespoon to a glass of water. Stay hydrated and increase your antioxidant and vitamin C intake in one simple step. 

2. Bake with Baobab

Bread, muffins, cookies… there’s lots of ways you can bake with baobab.
