Essentially Natural Tamanu Oil is a cold pressed botanical oil from Calophyllum inophyllum nuts, known for its distinctive green colour and rich feel. Itβs often used in targeted skin routines and in blends designed for a nourished, comfort-focused finish. Tamanu has a heavier texture than many carrier oils, so itβs commonly blended with lighter oils for easier spread and a balanced feel.

This oil is amazing. My skin had been acting up recently, but this oil instantly soothed and calmed everything down. Since I started using it, I havenβt had any breakouts. My skin feels incredibly soft, looks radiant, and has a healthy glow. The scent isnβt the best, but the results make it completely worth it.
This is one of my new favourites. A must have in my hand and foot repair creams. I can't believe I've never used it before. Fantastic product.
Works great on my eczema legs after a bath, also absorbs real easy - gonna get more
I love love this ingredient. Iv used it in foot creams, healing Balms and lip Balms.
After using this along with Kalonji oil for about two weeks (twice a day), I'm starting to see visible differences in my complexion. My skin had some acne blemishes and I'm prone to hyperpigmentation, but out of all the oils I've tried over the past year this combination seems to have worked very well for me. My breakouts seem to have calmed down quite a lot, as if stopped in their tracks. Will be getting these oils in bigger bottles on my next purchase.
Great quality product
I bought it because of its benefits which are endless and we are using it everyday as is or in a mix of oils. Great quality oil.
Sort' s out my outbreaks in 12hours, great product
This tamanu oil is the real deal. Other retailers sell fake/diluted products but this is the realest I've used. Obv it doesn't have a cute smell but it works. My acne breakouts are less, i see my skin becoming healthier and previous scarring is healing slowly but surely
Massaged it nightly on my stretchmarks, they started fading in a week.
My husband has acne scaring on his back and I bought him this oil and I can see visible results within just a few weeks of using it. His acne has also reduced and removed the redness and irritability.
Like this oil really calms my skin and helps with over night breakout. I think I see some change In old scars but hey let's keep at it It's been less than two weeks.
This oil is my gold! It immediately stopped the itch from my eczema breakout. It has also lightened the dark spots that I had. Itβs great for sunburn too. A little goes a long way. Worth buying.
I love it so much. Very moisturizing.
I've been using tamanu oil for about over a week and I'm amazed to see already see a smoothness to my acne scars. I've been struggling with acne scars for years and little did i know that nature had just the remedy for it. Im happy to have discovered this magical oil. xoxox
I really love the Tamanu oil. I use it every evening before bed and it has really helped keep my skin moisturized and feeling soft. it's perfect for any burns or cuts. Delivery was fast and efficient. Will definately be buying from essentially natural again.
I have been struggling fir years with a bad skin. I have been using this product for 2 week and my skin is almost clear and smooth. I use it with castor oil and yoyo oil.
I use a few drops of this at night and my inflammation has come down within the first two days. Applying this as a targeted treatment on dark marks from acne scarring also works. But does take some time. I think this genuinely is helping repair my skin barrier.
So far Iβm loving the oil. Iβm prone to dry shin but since Iβve used the oil my skin is always moisturized and radiant
I've been using this for only 2 weeks now and have noticed a huge difference in my acne scars already! They are much lighter and flatter
my skin has never felt so smooth and soft in ages, thanks to your oils. I will definitely be getting more.
This oil works so well on my acne marks and my skin feels so good.
One of the best natural treatments for psoriasis, eczema and acne scars.
I use this oil combined with olive oil and the frankincense oil on my face and it work great.
Thank you Essentially Natural for recommending the Tamanu Oil after I had a terrible reaction to the glycolic acid peel. This oil is an absolute must in every household. The burn scars from the peel is getting lighter and healing quite well. I've even noticed a change in the texture of my skin. I'm extremely happy I took your advice and purchased this oil. With continued use I'm sure my skin will be much healthier. Thank you for the impeccable service.
I add 2/3 drops to my usual face oil in the evenings for added benefits. Took a few days to get used to the smell, it's not awfull, just different. Plan on making the suggested serum and maybe a spritzer to spray on sunburns, but will have to make sure about that formula with the EN experts.
I love this oil, using it for everything. Quick delivery also.
Received my package yesterday and I could not wait to wash my face and start to apply this oil. This oil is a boom, with a comedogenic rating of 2, which is moderately low to clog pores.Its suitable for all skin types. I have oily skin with dark marks, been on this oil for almost 6 months now and I'm seeing improvement on removing the marks. The 30ml bottle is able to last me +-3 months using it twice a day. Highly recommend especially if you will be patient for your desired results, wanna save some cash from buying expensive harsh products that claim to remove marks but produce zero results.
Works well on acne spots
I am pleased to tried this product through your online platform , your service is spectacular π― not only did you deliver before the estimated time but my purchase was secured nicely and intact ππ» Then boom the miracle oil in my space and I couldnβt be more happier , like I keep on asking myself questions on some WTF did I know know this Tamanu oil earlier in life .!!! Please.!! I would recommend this product now and again not only has it reduced the appearance of my dark marks but it also made my skin very soft and glowing ππ Love LOVE it mntkbw. I am 8 days in and the results are AMAZING ππ»π
Such a lovely oil, experiencing the healing effect on old scars and acne marks as well.
