Description

Akpi seed, also known as Djansang or Ricinodendron heudelotii, is a nutrient-rich seed native to West and Central Africa. It is commonly used in traditional medicine, cooking, and skincare due to its high content of essential fatty acids, proteins, and antioxidants.

In skincare, Akpi seed is valued for its moisturizing, firming, and skin-rejuvenating properties. The oil extracted from the seed is used in anti-aging creams, body butters, and firming treatments to enhance skin elasticity, promote collagen production, and provide deep hydration. It is particularly popular in African beauty rituals for enhancing skin tone, reducing wrinkles, and promoting a youthful glow.

Akpi seed oil is known to enhance collagen production, which helps tighten and firm the skin. It is often used in formulations to reduce sagging and improve skin texture, making it ideal for anti-aging treatments.
