Balanites Oil, the highly coveted “liquid gold” of the cosmetics industry, is extracted from the seeds of the fruit of the Desert Date, a hearty tree indigenous to Africa, and is prized for many therapeutic uses.

Imbued with a subtle, nutty fragrance, Balanites Oil is truly the hardest working serum in Mother Nature’s arsenal. Here are the top 5 benefits of Balanites Oil for the skin:

1. Balanites Oil is Highly Moisturizing

The high concentration of antioxidants and unsaturated fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-9) in Balanites Oil makes it a feast for the skin––endowing it with rich moisturizing properties and a luxurious texture.

2. Balanites Oil is a Natural Anti-inflammatory

Balanites Oil has anti-inflammatory properties which makes this precious oil beneficial for reducing minor skin irritations, as it penetrates the skin easily without clogging pores or aggravating the skin condition.
