Origin of Tamanu Oil

The Tamanu tree (Calophyllum inophyllum) is native to tropical regions of the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, and East Africa. It produces small yellow flowers and green fruit with a large nut, from which oil is extracted. This oil has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its healing properties.

Cultivation & Yield
Tamanu Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the Tamanu nut, preserving its natural nutrients, including calophyllolide and essential fatty acids. The tree yields fruit annually, providing a significant amount of nuts, making it vital for the cosmetic and skincare industries.
