The desert date tree, also known as sump, is native to tropical Africa and belongs to the Zygophyllaceae family.
This tree, with its irregular, spherical crown, can reach up to 9 metres and grows on the edge of the desert, particularly in the Sahel region in northern Burkina Faso.
This tree combats desertification by allowing other plants to settle in the wake of its roots, thanks to the shade it provides. It is also a nourishing plant: Its leaves are consumed as a vegetable, and its fruit enjoyed by children.
Its fruit is also used in traditional medicine for its long-reputed antiviral, antimicrobial, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory properties and many others.
The oil extracted from the seed of the fruit serves as a powerful emollient ingredient in cosmetics that softens and repairs dry and damaged skin. Itintensely nourishes the skin as well as dry hair. Its very dry and penetrating texture also makes it ideal for treatments for combination and problem skin, softening and protecting without causing greasiness.
Aroma-Zone strives to offer you products of the highest possible quality, in terms of their composition, their richness in active ingredients, their scent, their type of cultivation, their geographical origin, the way they are obtained, the quality of the producer's work, and also in terms of theirethics as part of a sustainable development approach. We seek out rare, and sometimes even exclusive, product qualities for you by contacting suppliers in the four corners of the world and buying directly from the producers, always ensuring favourable economic conditions for our partners.
In order to highlight some of our exceptionally high-quality products and share as much information as possible about them, we have decided to create an 'exceptional product' label.
We are pleased to offer a rare organic Desert date carrier oil withexceptional properties due to its richness in active compounds and processed locally in Burkina Faso, making it an exceptional product.
A tree from semi-arid regions on the Sahel border
The Desert date tree grows on the edge of the Sahel desert. The oil we offer comes from a value chain involving the seeds of these trees in Burkina Faso.
To collect the ripe fruit, the association calls on the most remote populations in the heart of the natural habitats of the Desert date trees.
A traditional cold-pressing extraction method Processingis carried outin Burkina Faso by women, who depulp the seeds by rubbing them in water. The pulp is used as animal feed.
Theseeds aresun-dried, then sorted by hand. Recently, the association has also developed local oil production by equipping itself with a press and training local workers to obtain high-quality oil extracted by cold pressing.
Fair trade
When families have collected enough to fill a lorry, local coordinators, trained by the association, organise the collection of the bags.
Each bag is weighed and paid to the family. A green oasis and a source of life in this arid and impoverished region, the Desert date tree provides jobs and income to local communities. .
Sustainable development
The association is also developing Desert date tree nurseries to replant trees as a barrier against desertification and to compensate for the removal of seeds from their natural environment.
Locals are trained to manage these nurseries in accordance with the principles of Organic Farming. Two of these nurseries are associated with schools and also serve an educational purpose.
An oil with rare properties
Known for its emollient, regenerating and nourishing properties, Desert date oil can used as an ingredient in your blends to create softening and restorative treatments for dry skin prone to discomfort, as well as dry, brittle hair.
Its highly penetrating touch is greatly appreciated, making it an ideal oil for creating protective treatments for combination skin without causing greasiness.
