The power of plants

According to legend, God pulled the baobab out of heaven and replanted it on Earth upside down because it was too proud. Hence the tree’s “upside down” look, with its large, swollen trunk and gnarled branches that resemble enormous roots. The baobab is an emblematic tree of sub-Saharan Africa and, like the shea tree, is known as the "tree of life.” It stands out for its enormous size, and incredible lifespan which some claim can be up to 2,000 years.

Responsible sourcing

Protecting the soil and biodiversity is a longstanding commitment at Clarins. That’s why we have always given priority to plant-based key ingredients sourced from organic agriculture, grown using sustainable farming methods that respect nature and the health of the soil. Our baobab oil is organic* and obtained using a natural and environmentally-friendly extraction process. In accordance with fair trade practices, we source our organic baobab oil from a supplier who works with the Provincial Department of the Environment, Green Economy and Climate Change to set up tree-planting programs. Since 2019, 450 baobab, African locust bean and moringa plants have been distributed among baobab oil producers in Burkina Faso.
