Aromatic Description: Tamanu Oil is an exotic nut and precious oil extracted from the kernels of the Tamanu tree, which is native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands. It has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its various benefits for the skin, hair, and overall health. Tamanu oil is pressed from the fruit of the tamanu tree and is pressed at a low temperature to ensure that only the highest quality oil is produced. Tamanu oil is an excellent addition to any skin treatment for a touch of exotic luxury. Tamanu Oil is a rich source of fatty acids, including linoleic, oleic, palmitic, calophyllolide, and coumarins. It also contains antioxidants, such as vitamin E, and is well-known for its emollient properties, which make it a great ingredient for moisturizing and nourishing the skin. It is also known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it an effective ingredient in treating various skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
Additionally, Tamanu Oil has a high concentration of antioxidants, which help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Tamanu Oil has been shown to improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks, as it helps to increase collagen production and promote skin cell regeneration. Cosmetically, it was also used to diminish the appearance of dark and puffy under-eye circles. Tamanu Oil's anti-inflammatory properties may provide support for joint health and help relieve muscle soreness. Tamanu oil comes from the seeds of the tamanu tree, but it is classified as a nut tree. If you are allergic to nuts, you shouldn’t use tamanu oil.
