TAMANU OIL

30ml of tamanu oil in a glass bottle with dropper.

Tamanu Oil comes from the kernels of Callophyllum inophyllum native to the Philippines and many parts Asia. Locally it is called Bitaog or Palo Maria, a native tree mostly growing near beaches. In the past, our ancestors crush the kernels after long periods of drying in the sun and squeezing the inedible oil by hand. Popularized to the world by Tahitians, the oil promotes faster healing of skin, hence its widespread use in treating minor wounds. Believed to be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, it is used topically for acne and scars, muscle aches, and many others.

Our Tamanu Oil is manually extracted from locally grown and harvested fruits. It undergoes a long process of preparation before finally pressing without the use of heat in extracting the oil. This retains the valuable compounds beneficial to the skin. It has an inherent greenish tint and a unique aroma not found in other oils.

How to use: Get oil from the bottle using a dropper and apply to skin using your fingers or any other suitable applicator.
