There's nothing better than feeling comfortable in your own skin

Dryness on melanin-rich skin doesn't only feel uncomfortable. It shows. The surface turns ashy and grey, texture roughens across the shins and elbows, and the natural depth of the skin tone is lost under it.

This milk is built for that. Not a light everyday lotion, but a genuinely reparative one for skin that has been stripped by hard water, air conditioning, harmattan winds or winter heating.

Baobab, the tree of life

The baobab stores water in its trunk to survive seasons without rain. Its seeds produce an oil rich in omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids, and we extract ours through an eco-designed process.

On skin, those fatty acids reinforce the barrier that dryness has broken down, while the oil's vitamins support collagen production, which is why it suits mature skin as much as dehydrated skin.

Shea, for the long hours

Shea butter is the other half of the formula, and there's a reason it appears in African skincare across the continent. Its high concentration of vitamins and fatty acids nourishes while forming a protective layer that slows moisture loss.

Baobab repairs, shea holds. Together they carry the skin through the day rather than fading after an hour.

• Relieves the tight, uncomfortable feeling of very dry skin
• Reinforces the skin barrier with omega 3, 6 and 9
• Softens rough areas such as elbows, knees, shins and heels
• Absorbs quickly, without a greasy finish

What you'll notice

• Immediate relief from tightness after application
• Ashiness giving way to an even, natural finish
• Rough patches softening within days
• Comfort that lasts through the day, not just the first hour

Formulated for daily use on very dry skin. Paraben-free.

Daily, ideally on skin still damp from the shower, which seals in the water rather than working against dry skin. Apply all over the body and massage in lightly until absorbed.

For very dry areas, apply a second layer to elbows, knees and heels. For best results, use after the Exfoliating Soap Cake.

Warning: For external use only. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse thoroughly if contact occurs. Contains sweet almond and sesame oils. Not suitable if you have a nut or seed allergy.
