BENEFITS OF TAMANU 

​

Among the many properties of Tamanu seed oil, the most important is undoubtedly the extraordinary antioxidant efficacy thanks to the abundant presence of xanthone, coumarins, tocopherol and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid.

 

This makes it a powerful anti-aging cosmetic; as 100% pure, the results will not be long in coming.

​

Moreover, its regenerative qualities were noted already in antiquity by the inhabitants of the Polynesian islands who still use it today as an effective natural remedy for a whole series of skin diseases such as:

  • Acne and pimples

  • Stretch Marks

  • Psoriasis

  • Scratches

  • General scars

  • Skin spots

  • Herpes

  • Bruises

  • Dry, scaly or chapped skin

  • Sores

  • Rashes

  • Skin abrasions

  • Age spots

  • Nail fungus

  • Sunburn

  • Eczema

  • Scrubs and blisters

  • Dermatitis

If the healing, moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antifungal properties have been the subject of multiple researches (including Tamanu oil and skin active properties from traditional to modern cosmetic uses, Biological activity of Polynesian Calophyllum inophyllum oil extract on human skin cells, étude de la composition chimique et de la biodiversité du Calophillum inophyllum de Polynésie Française) the soothing qualities against muscle and joint pain are still the subject of debate. However the Polynesians resort to Tamanu seed oil also in these cases.
