What it is
Hydrolyzed Adansonia digitata seed extract is produced by hydrolyzing material from the seeds of the baobab tree, breaking down larger constituents into smaller, more soluble fragments. This processing is intended to improve compatibility with water-based formulas and the skin. It is used as a botanical conditioning ingredient that contributes to a soft, hydrated feel.
Safety & warnings
As a botanical seed extract, it is generally well tolerated. As with other plant extracts, occasional sensitivity is possible, so patch testing may be sensible for very reactive skin.
Origin & sourcing
It is derived from the seeds of the baobab tree (Adansonia digitata), native to Africa, with the seed material hydrolyzed.
