More on Tamanu Oil

Although indigenous Melanesian and Polynesian communities discovered this mind-blowing, natural skin care remedy many centuries ago, it is only in recent times that Tamanu Oil has begun to attract serious attention from the beauty industry. Where modern medicine fails, traditional health remedies have much to offer. This oil has been used for centuries as a topical first aid to treat a wide range of skin aliments.
Traditional remedies may be employed by indigenous native peoples long before news of their efficacy reaches markets in developed nations. Such is the case with tamanu oil, a traditional remedy with a history of native use in Polynesia and Southeast Asia. Only within the past few years has tamanu oil begun to penetrate the European and US markets ( Laurie Hutton, Elizabeth Arden, ) , primarily in the cosmetic sectors. Since the 1930’s tamanu oil has been studied in hospitals and by researchers in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific islands. The results of this research reveal that tamanu oil is a significant topical healing agent with skin healing antineuralgic , antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.

Tamanu Oil is a 100% pure and natural extract from the 'sacred' Tamanu tree, and does not contain any artificial chemicals, additives or preservatives. The oil is extracted from the nut kernels without heat or chemicals which results in the finest, pure, rich, dark green, luxurious Tamanu oil.

Tamanu oil has long been recognized as an important anti- aging agent that not only keeps users feeling young but also heals the skin through its capability to generate new tissue. The product gently unleashes the true beauty of the skin with its antibiotic, anti-neuralgic and antioxidant character. Specifically, tamanu oil possesses a unique capacity to promote the formation of new tissue, thereby accelerating wound healing and the growth of healthy skin.

Oil of Tamanu is a pure, rich, cold-processed oil suitable for general skin and cosmetic purposes. The oil’s unusual absorption, its mild and pleasant aroma, and its luxurious richness make it ideal for use in lotions, creams, ointments and other cosmetic products. Oil of Tamanu absorbs readily, leaving skin feeling smooth, plump and soft. The oil adds a glow to skin, without any residual greasiness or oiliness.
