Editor’s note: Due to supply challenges, our Baobab Butter is being discontinued. Good substitutions would be Turmeric Butter or Hemp Butter. We recently had someone ask our Technical Support Team what a lip balm made with Baobab Butter would be like. I had to admit that I wasn’t completely sure, […]
