Ximenia oil is extracted from the kernel of a fruit that grows on a thorn bush on the African savannah, from Namibia to Zimbabwe.
Remarkably repairing and protecting, this oil is used for face, body and hair care, making the skin extremely soft and pleasantly silky. Used in ancient times, sometimes mixed with red ochre, it helps to prevent the premature ageing of dry and dehydrated skin.
