Tamanu Oil Refined

Our pure refined Tamanu Oil is obtained naturally from the kernel of the tropical tree, Calophyllum inophyllum (Tamanu). The trees grow in the tropical climates of the Southeast Asia. The oil is obtained by cold pressing.

The refined tamanu oil, known as Calophyllum inophyllum seed oil, is specially refined for formulating top quality skin and hair products. Our pure refined tamanu oil does not have the strong nutty pungent odor that you typically have with this oil. The odor of our refined Tamanu oil is easier to work with making it a superior product for making skin care and hair care products.  Even though it is refined, it is derived from a pure, cold pressed tamanu oil with no additives, unfiltered, and  with no fillers.

Our Tamanu is packaged in the USA
