Latin Name: Calophyllum inophyllum

 

Fair warning: Since it is an all-natural product, it has a slight woodsy/earthy scent and is a greenish colour.

 

Tamanu Oil's Fatty Acid Profile: For the oil nerds out there

  • Oleic acid: 34-41%
  • Linoleic acid: 29-38%
  • Stearic acid: 13%
  • Palmitic acid: 12%

 

Tamanu oil is a well-balanced oil of both linoleic and oleic acid, with a slightly higher oleic acid content that gives the oil its rich texture. Tamanu oil is known for its anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties as well as being a strong antioxidant. The healing properties of Tamanu/Calophyllum have been studied since the 1920s. Applied to wounds, it  is said to possess the capacity to promote the formation of new tissue.

 

Shelf Life: 6-9 months. You can refrigerate and warm bottle gently with hands to liquefy.

 

A few ways to use Tamanu Oil:

  1. Can be used as a spot treatment on hyperpigmentation or blemishes at the end of your routine in the evening due to its anti-bacterial & anti-inflammatory properties.
  1. Gently pat 2-3 drops onto skin after serum or before moisturizer and/or sunscreen.
  1. Boost your moisturizer by adding 2-3 drops to it to help keep that hydration locked in.
