Tamanu Oil – 100ml
About this piece
Tamanu Oil is a rich, fatty oil pressed from the seeds of the tamanu tree, with a strong, deep, earthy aroma touched with nutty notes. This 100ml bottle is a characterful base for skincare makers who want something a little special.
The tamanu tree, Calophyllum inophyllum, grows along tropical coastlines, and in Polynesia it has long been considered sacred, planted near places of worship. Its oil is rich in fatty acids, which help keep skin moisturised, and it is an active ingredient in many skincare products, including anti-ageing creams. A lovely choice for anyone who makes their own balms and face oils.
Use a few drops blended into a lighter carrier oil or homemade cream, as its scent is strong. It also works well in balms and salves for dry areas. Patch test first, avoid if you have a nut allergy, and store in a cool, dark place.
