Description and Uses:

Organic Tamanu Oil is a deeply nourishing, fast-absorbing carrier oil treasured in traditional body care for supporting the look and feel of healthy, resilient skin. It’s especially loved in blends created for dry, irritated or visibly stressed skin, and is a favorite ingredient in formulas focused on the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven texture. Rich in calophyllic acid and delta-tocotrienol, it helps stimulate the growth of new skin cells to repair traumatized skin. For this reason, it makes an excellent remedy for tattoo aftercare and skin healing.

Tamanu is also valued in massage blends for its naturally soothing feel—often chosen for areas that feel tired, achy or inflamed.
