The water tank

I am found in Africa, more particularly in Madagascar. Among the 8 species present in the world, we are 7 on this big island. I am often called Renala, meaning mother of the forest. Our dean exceeds 2500 years. In the Boabab family, there are small, big ones 20 meters in circumference, long and thin, giants of 40 meters, long-haired and bald… No matter how we look, your brothers like to rest on our roots , in the shade of our leaves to chat and chill. Some even get married under our antlers.

The interdependent

I am one of the most unusual proofs of the creativity of nature. I live in an upside down support position: my legs push up in the air and my arms dig the ground. Another incredible trait of my personality: I cannot be born alone. I phagocyte. Vital need to hug to live, I hug one of my loved ones at birth. I ride it over the years, I climb its body, we live in symbiosis, until I suffocate it. Don't blame me, it's part of the life cycle. I wonder what would happen if I encountered a Baobab ... In your opinion, who wins the showdown ?!

🌴 C🥥C🥥ONUT OIL 🌴

No need to fill your shopping cart with creams for dry skin, nourishing hair masks, massage oils with hazardous compositions, chemical lubricants, butters that turn black on contact with a hot pan ... No, no need to all that. There is an ingredient in nature that replaces all of these products. Coconut oil. She is magic. It is 100% natural. It is edible. It is easy to use. In solid form and white in color when cold, it liquefies and becomes transparent when the heat returns. It is most often found in a glass jar, which you can reuse to place almonds, peanuts or cashews. As you wish. As for the choice of the brand, we advise you to choose a 100% coconut, a pure one where you will read "virgin". Not "deodorized" and raw. The ideal is that it is not homogeneous. For this you must choose an oil where we see "separate pieces" whiter than the rest, this proves that it has not been melted.

🚿 BATHROOM

IT WILL NOURISH YOUR SKIN: apply a small "coconut" to moisturize your hands, arms, legs and even your face.

IT WILL PROTECT YOUR SKIN: according to one indian study, it can be used as sun protection. Be careful though, its index is low (SPF 7), but it will not pollute seawater 😉. When the sun is really beating, the real remedy (according to us) is to protect yourself in the shade of UV!

IT WILL NOURISH YOUR HAIR: use before going to bed or before shampooing. The important thing is to rinse your hair with water after applying this natural mask.

Researchers have concluded that the unique structure of lauric acid - the main fatty acid in coconut oil - can penetrate the hair shaft in a way that most other fats cannot.

SHE WILL ELIMINATE YOUR LICE: leave aside the anti-lice composed of chemicals, the lice have adapted to them. On the other hand, coconut oil, by its fatty and pasty character, will bog them down and imprison them.

SHE WILL WHITEN YOUR TEETH: use coconut oil once a week while brushing your teeth - obviously with a bamboo handle 😏. It will regulate the good and bad bacteria present in your mouth.





🌙 BEDROOM

IT WILL BE PERFECT FOR A MASSAGE: take a piece of coconut oil in your hand. On contact with the massed body, it will melt and give off its delicious smell. 🤗

SHE WILL LUBRICATE YOUR INTIMATE PARTIES: One thing to know, unlike industrial lubricants, coconut oil is edible!

🍳 KITCHEN

IT WILL REPLACE BUTTERS AND COOKING OILS: Put a "coconut" in your pan, and sauté onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots ... Unlike butter, coconut oil will not burn. And what is more than olive oil? Containing 87% saturated fat, it is one of the healthiest for high temperature cooking. And then, in our opinion, it imposes its taste less than the olive.

IT WORKS FOR MAYONNAISE: to be used in place of sunflower oil. The easiest way is to test!
