Tamanu Carrier Oil
Botanical Name (Calophyllum inophyllum)
Tamanu Oil is extraordinary at supporting the body’s repair process! Use it for joint salves, muscle oils, scar care, skin soothing blends, and even purifying the skin’s surface. I have found it to be helpful for easing pain and reducing inflammation. Make it a staple in the cabinet. Tamanu Oil can be helpful in gradually reducing the appearance of scars.
Our wildcrafted Tamanu Oil is cold pressed from the sun-dried nuts of trees in Madagascar. The oil is dark blue or green in color (depending on when it was harvested). Tamanu Oil has a distinctive nutty aroma, and has a thick consistency (can be thinned by mixing with a lighter carrier oil), but it absorbs reasonably well. Upon application, it leaves a very thin barrier that seems to help protect the skin. Tamanu Oil has a 4 year shelf life.
**If you have a nut allergy, consult with your medical practitioner prior to using nut oils, butters or other nut products. Tamanu has a shelf life of 4 years.
