{"product_id":"baobab-fruit-powder-essentially-natural","title":"Baobab Fruit Powder (Natural Exfoliant) - Essentially Natural","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n  Baobab Fruit Powder is a finely milled botanical powder made from the naturally dried fruit pulp of the African baobab\n  tree (\n  \u003cem\u003eAdansonia digitata\u003c\/em\u003e\n  ). Its fine texture makes it a lovely addition to facial masks, powder cleansers and gentle exfoliating blends,\n  offering a softer polishing feel than traditional coarse scrub particles. Baobab fruit pulp naturally contains vitamin\n  C and plant antioxidant compounds, bringing additional botanical character to skincare formulations. Sourced from\n  South Africa and made from 100% baobab fruit pulp with no added fillers, carriers or preservatives, it is a versatile\n  ingredient for creating simple, plant-based skincare.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  ♡ Why we love it: We love the gentle, fine texture of this South African botanical and how easily it can be\n  incorporated into freshly mixed face masks and cleansing powders. It's a wonderfully simple way to explore natural\n  fruit-based skincare.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eINCI Name: Adansonia Digitata Fruit Pulp Powder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBotanical Name: Adansonia digitata L.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlant Part: Fruit pulp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCountry Of Origin: South Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForm: Fine, off-white powder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParticle Size: Below 88 microns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolubility: Partially soluble in water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable For: Facial masks, powder cleansers and gentle rinse-off exfoliating blends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat It's Used For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCreating gentle botanical facial polishes and exfoliating cleansers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePreparing freshly mixed face masks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdding fine fruit-pulp texture to powder-to-paste cleansers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlending with clays and other botanical powders for customised skincare preparations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncorporating naturally occurring fruit compounds into rinse-off cosmetic formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Product Is For:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDIY skincare enthusiasts creating natural facial masks and cleansing powders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFormulators exploring fine botanical ingredients for rinse-off skincare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnyone who prefers a subtle polishing texture over coarse, gritty exfoliants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Product Is Not For:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThose seeking a coarse or strongly abrasive scrub ingredient\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFormulations requiring an ingredient that dissolves completely in water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications requiring a completely clear, particle-free finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    As a Facial Mask: Combine a small amount of Baobab Fruit Powder with a suitable clay or other cosmetic powders.\n    Gradually add water to form a smooth, spreadable paste.

It has a much finer texture than the\n  coarse granules commonly used in traditional physical scrubs, making it better suited to gentle polishing blends and\n  botanical masks.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Q: Does Baobab Fruit Powder dissolve completely in water?\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  A: No, it is only partially soluble. Some of the fruit pulp will disperse into the water while fine material may\n  remain suspended, contributing to the texture of the finished blend.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Q: Can I add Baobab Fruit Powder to a ready-made cream or lotion?\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  A: It's generally easier to work with in powder cleansers and freshly mixed rinse-off treatments. Adding a botanical\n  powder to an existing cream or lotion can affect its texture, stability and preservation, so proper formulation\n  testing is recommended.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Q: Is Baobab Fruit Powder a chemical exfoliant like an AHA?\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  A: No. It is a finely milled botanical powder rather than a standardised AHA ingredient. Its polishing effect depends\n  on the finished formulation and how gently it is used.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Essentially Natural","offers":[{"title":"10g - Sample size","offer_id":67677299900584,"sku":"EN-20223457","price":35.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":67677312450728,"sku":"EN-20223458","price":149.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g","offer_id":67677312483496,"sku":"EN-20223459","price":289.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":67677312516264,"sku":"EN-20223460","price":549.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":67677312549032,"sku":"EN-20223461","price":999.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0081\/3111\/7152\/files\/BaobabFruitPowder_NaturalExfoliant_-EssentiallyNatural_2.webp?v=1792402364","url":"https:\/\/essentiallynatural.co.za\/products\/baobab-fruit-powder-essentially-natural","provider":"Essentially Natural","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
