Tamanu seed oil (cold-pressed)

Tamanu seed oil (cold-pressed)

INCI: Calophyllum imophyllum seed oil

This oil from the south Pacific has been used for centuries and is now finding applications in the world of modern skincare - and for good reason! Nuts from the Ati tree are wild harvested, then left in the sunshine to dry for 5-6 weeks then cold pressed for their oil.

The oil itself is effective on the skin & hair, predominantly acting as an antioxidant, anti-bacterial (lactone) & anti-inflammatory (calophyllolide & coumarins) and rich in Calophyllic acid. The oil carries a light pleasant, nutty aroma and is a rich, dark green oil (specifically sun-dried material). 

It can be safely used by itself directly on the skin and hair as well as in formulations

Available in 100ml, 250ml and 500ml. The 100ml size is in a brown glass bottle. The other sizes are in brown PET bottles with tamper-proof caps for safer shipping. If you wish to transfer your oil to a glass bottle and/or if you need a pump dispenser see our Packaging section for details.
