Tamanu Oil - Certified Organic

Cold-pressed from the nut kernels of the Calophyllum inophyllum tree, this premium Certified Organic Tamanu Oil is sustainably sourced from Vietnam and carries rigorous Bio-Gro organic certification, ensuring exceptional purity and highly sustainable practices. Often referred to as Foraha or Dilo Oil, this remarkable botanical oil presents as a rich, highly viscous green to greenish-brown liquid. It possesses a uniquely complex chemical profile that is widely recognised for its ability to deeply condition the skin, making it an unparalleled botanical agent for promoting a smooth, healthy-looking complexion and restoring moisture to depleted, stressed skin.

In cosmetic formulation and holistic skin care, Organic Tamanu Oil is highly prized for its naturally rich antioxidant and deeply emollient properties. It serves as a powerful standalone facial oil or a foundational botanical active in intensive moisture balms, smoothing serums, and soothing preparations designed to comfort severely dry, flaky, or blemish-prone skin profiles. Furthermore, it is exceptional for revitalising the delicate under-eye area, helping to refresh the appearance of tired skin, whilst also serving as a deeply conditioning botanical treatment for curly and dry hair types.
