Tamanu Carrier Oil is cold pressed from the fruit of the Calophyllum inophyllum tree. The fruit (seeds) are hand gathered from the coastal Tamanu Trees, as they are said to yield the highest quality oil. This remarkable, glistening greenish-brown oil is a must-have for skin issues. Tamanu is rich and thick and absorbs into the skin luxuriously and slowly. It is best used within a blend with other carriers, because of its viscosity. Tamanu can help support reddened, irritated, skin prone to blemishes, and offer relief from pesky outdoor bug bites; soothing and repairing as it is applied. Using Tamanu Carrier Oil can also help reduce the appearance of scars and marks caused by weight gain or pregnancy. Tamanu is gentle, effective, and promotes restoration and healthy skin growth, which will leave the skin soft and feeling better than new. We recommend refrigeration after opening to maintain freshness and maximum shelf life. Tamanu needs to be brought to room temperature before use.
