Direct From Paradise
The South Pacific Republic of Vanuatu is the home of a botanical treasure
known as the tamanu tree. Traditionally, natives hand-gathered the fruit of
only the coastal tamanu trees, for those fruits yielded the highest quality
of oil. Following traditional practice, to make True Tamanu, the nuts
inside the coastal fruits are hand-cracked, and the nut kernels are
sun-dried until golden brown. The nut kernels are cold-pressed, without heat
or chemicals of any kind. The resulting pure True Tamanu oil is rich,
dark green, luxurious and considered the finest tamanu oil in the world.
Nature's Miracle Skin Oil
As early as 1918, French researchers investigated the unique topical
benefits of tamanu oil. Traditionally, the oil has been used by Pacific
islanders on cuts, sores, burns, blemishes, rashes, bites and stings. The
oil of tamanu contains three basic classes of lipids: neutral lipids,
glycolipids, and phospholipids. The oil also contains a unique fatty acid
called calophyllic acid, and a novel immune supportive and anti-inflammatory
agent called calophyllolide which promotes the formation of new, healthy
skin. Tamanu is not only topically immune supportive, it is anti-
inflammatory on the skin as well. Its lush scent and rapid penetration leave
your skin radiant, glowing, soft and oil-free.
Promoting Sustainability
The collection of True Tamanu fruits helps to keep Pacific island
coastal areas pristine. The preparation of True Tamanu provides
income for native people and helps them to maintain an agricultural society.
True Tamanu is a beneficial oil of unsurpassed quality, and
contributes directly to environmental and cultural sustainability.
