What is Tamanu Oil

Derived from the seeds of the tamanu nut tree, tamanu oil has been used medicinally for centuries in various African, Asian and Pacific Island cultures. It has a noteworthy smell and looks that come in its purest form— thick consistency, earthy scent in a dark green colour. 

How often it should be used: It depends on the skincare product you’re investing in but in general, it can be used once or twice a day. 

Who should use it: If you have dry skin as well as have scarring or acne, this oil comes with anti-ageing benefits. 

Works well with: Tamanu oil works best when combined with other popular facial oils such as rosehip and avocado in the form of lotions, serums, facial oils, or moisturizers. 

Benefits of tamanu oil 

It’s true that all skincare oils nourish your skin but tamanu oil has various other benefits to offer. And we’re here to highlight a few of them. 

Anti-inflammatory properties

Tamanu oil has anti-inflammatory properties that give you relief from those painful pimples and skin conditions such as eczema. It has wound-healing abilities and has the potential to be good for inflammatory skin conditions like rosacea and psoriasis. 

Treats acne 

Unlike your other comedogenic oils like coconut, Tamanu oil doesn't clog your pores. It has acne-fighting properties and is safe moisturizing oil to use on oily and acne-prone skin. 

Intensely moisturizes

Tamanu oil helps to seal in hydration and comes with a fair share of fatty acids— oleic and linoleic acid that feeds your skin barrier with healthy lipids. Tamanu oil promotes cell proliferation and collagen production too. With collagen production, there would be more wound healing as well as smoothing of wrinkles and fine lines. 

Promotes cell turnover 

It has wound-healing and skin-regenerating capabilities. Tamanu oil encourages the growth of new skin cells, which is helpful for fading acne scars and hyperpigmentation while promoting a healthy glow. 

How to use tamanu oil

Tamanu oil is a versatile oil and can be found easily in a number of face and body oils, serums and even moisturizers. One can use it as a mask with a DIY technique—simply mix the oil with hydrating base ingredients such as aloe vera. Slather it on for a few minutes before rinsing it with lukewarm water. You can even mix tamanu oil with a moisturizer and massage it into your skin for that added healthy glow. 

And if you’re looking for spot treatment specifically, try diluting tamanu oil with another nourishing facial oil before dabbing on the troublesome areas. It has antimicrobial properties that work as an impressive remedy for your blemishes.
