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.

Faqs
Q: Why does tamanu oil thicken sometimes?
A: Rich oils can thicken or form a waxy layer in cooler temperatures, gentle warming helps.
Q: Does it have a scent?
A: Tamanu oil often has a naturally distinctive aroma that varies slightly by batch.
Q: Can I blend it with other oils?
A: Yes, many people blend it with lighter oils like jojoba or marula for a more lightweight 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 haven’t had any breakouts. My skin feels incredibly soft, looks radiant, and has a healthy glow. The scent isn’t 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
