Product Details
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Certified Organic Purity: Derived from the kernels of organically grown Calophyllum inophyllum trees, Tamanu Organic Oil is certified by QAI, USDA and NOP organic standards. Free from synthetic additives, this organic ingredient aligns with eco-conscious product development.
Naturally Healthy Skin: Tamanu Organic Oil has a rich composition of fatty acids, including Oleic and Linoleic Acids that support the skin's natural moisture barrier. Its slow absorbing yet non-greasy texture enhances skin evenness and promotes a smooth, rejuvenated appearance.
Hair and Scalp Conditioning: When used in hair and scalp care, Tamanu is known for softening strands, enhancing natural shine, and improving the overall feel of the hair.
Formulation Flexibility: Despite its dark green to brown color range and slightly nutty, earthy aroma, Tamanu Organic Oil blends well with other carrier oils and essential oils without overwhelming the final product.
DESCRIPTION
Tamanu Organic Carrier Oil is cold pressed from the fruit kernels of the Calophyllum inophyllum tree. Certified organic by QAI, this oil maintains its natural nutrient profile and delivers a rich, skin-nourishing texture that is desirable for a range of personal care applications.
A staple in traditional practices for its emollient qualities, Tamanu Organic Oil penetrates slowly without leaving an oily residue, earning a place in modern formulations targeting skin conditioning and scalp support. The organic variety of Tamanu Oil enhances skin feel and appearance while supporting the integrity of the skin barrier.
In hair care, Tamanu’s stable fatty acid composition adds hydration, shine, and manageability to strands while soothing the scalp. The unrefined nature of this oil is suitable as an ingredient in a variety of products, and it blends well with other carrier oils, essential oils, and botanical ingredients. Purchasing Tamanu Organic Oil not only supports organic product craftmanship, but it also supports environmental, agricultural, and social sustainability.
