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 blemishes.

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 that slow down the skin aging process.

For impure skin

Due to the purifying effect of the oil, it is an ideal ingredient in facial cleansers. Particularly impure skin benefits well from Tamanu Oil. 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

After shaving, Tamanu Oil softens the skin, even if you suffer from ingrown hairs.

Rough hands and feet

For rough hands, feet, knuckles and elbows, Tamanu Oil helps the skin to recover. After applying a few times you'll already notice a difference: your hands and feet feel much softer right away!

How to use Tamanu Oil?

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

What makes it so special?

Tamanu Oil absorbs incredibly quickly into the skin, with a lovely 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 skin care for centuries.

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