At N-Essentials, our tamanu oil is pure, all-natural, and acts as a carrier oil; meaning it can be used both to help carry essential oils to the skin as well as applied to the skin directly and on its own. To learn more about the aesthetic perks tamanu oil provides, how it’s sourced, and how to use it, read on!

What is Tamanu Oil?

Tamanu oil comes from the tropical tamanu tree, which can be found throughout Asia and Australia. While the sap and the fruit of the tree are poisonous, this oil is a great addition for those looking to give their skin a hydrated and fresh appearance. It is extracted and cold-pressed from the tree's nut kernels.

This carrier oil has a thick consistency and a distinct smell. It is highly nourishing, yet is somehow flying under the radar compared to other carrier oils, such as jojoba oil. However, it offers a litany of benefits favourable for skin appearance, especially during cold or harsh weather that causes dry skin. Nonetheless, Tamanu oil is definitely making its way into the mainstream of the beauty and skincare industry.

Tamanu Oil Uses and Benefits

Tamanu Oil for the Skin

Natural oils are inherently good moisturisers. The Tamanu oil, however, does more work than just moisturising. Like other high-calibre oils, it has the ability to improve the appearance of skin hydration thanks to the many essential fatty acids it contains. More than that, it can smoothen the top layers of scars and could therefore improve the overall skin appearance.

Tamanu oil works especially well when added to lotions, creams, and moisturisers, and is advised for use in the cooler months when the skin is most prone to becoming dry. Simply add and mix a few drops of tamanu oil into your favourite moisturiser, lotion, or cream and massage it into your skin to reap its rewards.

Tamanu Oil for the Face

All of tamanu oil’s benefits for the skin apply to the face, too. In addition to giving your skin the appearance of deep hydration and moisture, some perks of tamanu oil for facial skincare include: 

• Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by giving the skin a nourished look
• Providing a hydrated appearance to acne scars 
• Improving the appearance of dry skin

Because of the cosmetic benefits it provides, tamanu oil is ideal for improving the appearance of dry skin, combination skin, and acne prone skin. 

Warning: Our unique skin reacts differently to new applications. Always perform a patch test before use of Tamanu oil. Additionally, people allergic to nuts should avoid using this oil.
