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 enormous 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 collagen production 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.

For pimples

Due to the purifying action of the oil, it is an ideal ingredient in facial cleansers. Especially for skin that is sensitive 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 the skin recover. After applying a few times you already notice a difference: your hands and feet feel much softer right away!

How do you use Tamanu Oil?

Use Tamanu Oil as a carrier oil with essential oils or as an ingredient when 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 because of its healing effect on the skin.

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