While unfortunately summer is coming to an end… it is the perfect time to think about skin repair after long days at the beach. One of our favourite organic skincare ingredients with super-strength skin repairing and healing properties is Tamanu Oil. A go-to healer and beauty oil in Polynesia and many of the Pacific Islands, Tamanu Oil deserves all the praise we can muster!
THE HISTORY: Tamanu is an evergreen tree that grows in most tropical regions of the world, but has recently been associated with the Pacific Islands. Tamanu oil is produced by cold pressing the dried seeds of the Tamanu tree. The oil is thick and dark green in colour with a pleasing warm, nutty aroma
THE BENEFITS: Tamanu oil has been proven to aid in the regeneration of damaged skin tissue. It therefore has great healing benefits when applied to scars, stretch marks, cuts, burns, and other skin issues. Tamanu also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, as well making is an excellent treatment for blemishes and rashes. [1]
