What it is
Hydrolyzed Adansonia digitata extract is obtained by hydrolyzing material from the baobab tree, which breaks larger molecules into smaller, more water-compatible fragments. The hydrolysis is intended to improve solubility and skin compatibility, supporting a conditioned, hydrated feel. It is included at low levels as a botanical conditioning component.
Safety & warnings
As a botanical extract, it is generally well tolerated. Plant-derived extracts can occasionally cause sensitivity in predisposed individuals, so patch testing may be prudent for very reactive skin.
Origin & sourcing
It is derived from the baobab tree (Adansonia digitata), native to Africa, with the plant material subjected to hydrolysis.
