PRODUCTION STAGES

 

The production stages of our Tamanu seed oil are the following:

 

TAMANU TREES

they grow in virgin soils of semi-desert atolls in the Polynesian archipelago of the Tuamotu islands. They don't grow on plantations but spontaneously where conditions are optimal, never undergoing any type of treatment.

​

THE HARVEST OF TAMANU NUTS

it happens by hand picking the nuts naturally matured on the tree and falled on the coral sand below. They are placed in bags and sent to the our oil mill.

​

THE OPENING AND SELECTION OF NUTS

nuts are opened one by one. Only those in perfect condition will become Tamanu seed oil.

​

DRYING

the selected nuts are placed in an elevated position on an untreated wooden surface and exposed to the sun and the sea breeze until optimal drying.

​

THE ACTIVITY OF THE CRUSHER

whose equipment is compatible with food production even if it is cosmetic oil.

​

BOTTLING

oil is bottled as soon as it is obtained in order to minimize its exposure to air and light without adding any other ingredient or preservative.

​

PACKAGING

it protects the quality of the product and it is recyclable in all its components

​

THE OIL MILL WASTE RESULT
