Tamanu Oil and Tamanu Rescue Butter Balm

Tamanu Oil

Tamanu trees were revered by ancient Polynesians and are widely cultivated today. The fruit of the Polynesian Tamanu tree, which is considered sacred by many Polynesian cultures, is actually a nut, which, contains a green and very dry kernel that contains no oil at all. After the tamanu nuts are harvested from the tree and left out in the sun to 'bake' for four to eight weeks, they then turn a deep, greenish brown color and become sticky with healing, emollient Tamanu oil. These kernels dried in the Tahitian sun are then cold-pressed to yield their luxurious Tamanu oil which is then bottled in its pure form, straight from nature and brought to you in this unadulterated state. In addition to its excellent moisturizing capability, Tamanu oil offers other natural ben efits. Tamanu is soothing and reparative to sun-damaged skin and it is often used on scars, as it is said to promote the formation of new tissue, thus promoting skin healing. Tamanu oil is renown for these healing qualities and in traditional Polynesian pharmacopoeia, or 'Ra'au Tahiti,' Tamanu oil is applied to cuts, scrapes, burns, insect bites, sunburned or dry skin and more.

Moana Beauty's pure Tamanu Oil (Calophyllum inophyllum) from Tahiti contains no chemicals or preservatives of any kind and is 100% pure Tamanu only. It absorbs into the skin quickly, leaving it feeling smooth and soft but not greasy.
