Balanites aegyptiaca, (syn. Balanites roxburghii) commonly called Desert Date Palm, is identified by the peasants of the Sudano-Sahelian zone as a tree whose domestication is a priority in a global fight against desertification. Fully valued by the local tribes, this tree gives fruits consumed as candies, which contain a kernel. Collected by a group of women in Burkina Faso, the almonds are pressed to obtain an oil used in traditional medicine.

Through scientific studies on this Desert Date Palm Oil, many activities have been demonstrated (anticancer, antiviral, antimicrobial, anti-mutagenic, anthelmintic). The Virgin Desert Date Palm fits perfectly in the themes of care of mature skin or soothing care (face, hair).
