Tamanu Oil (Cold Pressed & Unrefined)

What is Tamanu Oil?

Tamanu Oil is made from the nuts of the Tamanu tree (calophyllum inophyllum). The oil has a sharp, nutty scent and is greenish in color. The oil has a huge number of benefits for the skin, has anti-aging properties and can help reduce pimples.

Benefits

Anti-aging

Tamanu Oil is rich in omega-6 and 9, fatty acids that keep the skin supple and elastic and make signs of skin aging less visible. Tamanu oil can promote the production of collagen in the skin and is bursting with antioxidants, which slow down the skin aging process. Thanks to these skin-repairing properties, the oil can also help make scars less visible.

In case of pimples

Due to the purifying effect of the oil, it is an ideal ingredient in facial cleansers. Especially for skin that is prone to pimples, Tamanu Oil can work wonders. The oil is suitable for both dry and oily skin, because the oil does not dry out the skin, which prevents the skin from producing even more sebum.

For ingrown hairs

If you suffer from ingrown hairs after shaving, Tamanu Oil can provide relief and soften the skin. This way, hairs come up faster and crawl out of your skin more easily.

Chapped hands and feet

For chapped hands, feet, knuckles and elbows, Tamanu Oil helps to restore the skin. After a few applications you will notice a difference: your hands and feet immediately feel a lot softer!

How to use Tamanu Oil?

Use Tamanu Oil as a base oil with essential oils or as an ingredient in making DIY care products.

What is so special about it?

Tamanu Oil absorbs incredibly quickly into the skin, with a wonderfully soft result, without greasiness. The nuts from which the oil is made originally grew mainly on the Polynesian islands. There, the oil has been used for centuries for its beneficial effect on the skin.

Please note: Tamanu Oil is a nut oil and not suitable for people with a nut allergy.
