Product Description

Unearth the secrets of Tamanu Seed Oil, Cold Pressed Organic, a tropical marvel with a timeless history that has now resurged in the Western cosmetic world, and rightfully so. Harvested from tamanu tree nuts in Madagascar, these treasures bask in the sun for 5-6 weeks before undergoing a delicate cold pressing process to yield their precious oil. Renowned for its versatility, this oil proves equally effective for both skin and hair, with naturally occurring Lactone, Calophyllolide & Coumarins, and rich in Calophyllic acid. There's hardly a part of the body it doesn't benefit. With a gentle, nutty aroma and its distinctive dark green hue, this oil, derived from sun-dried materials, offers a sensory delight. We highly recommend direct application to the skin and incorporation into hair care formulations, unlocking the full potential of this natural gem.
