Side Effects of Baobab oil

People with very oily, acne-prone, or sensitive skin, should use Baobab oil cautiously. It can also obstruct the pores of a specific individual, which can exacerbate or cause acne and can also result in skin irritation or rash. Therefore, it's always advised to do a patch test before using it. As they are not high in protein, Baobab fruit and oil may not repair damaged hair like other protein-rich hair products might be doing.
