INCI: Calophyllum inophyllum seed oil

Essentially Natural Organic Tamanu Oil is a cold pressed botanical oil from Calophyllum inophyllum nuts, known for its distinctive green colour and rich feel. It’s 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 it’s commonly blended with lighter oils for easier spread and a balanced feel. It is a popular ingredient in facial oils, balms and intensive body care.

This product is certified: Vegan and Beauty Without Cruelty.
