Direct from ParadiseThe 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 kernel 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#146;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 contains novel anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial compounds and promotes the formation of new, healthy skin tissue. True Tamanu carries forward the traditional uses of this remarkable oil to modern times.Promoting Sustainability The collection of True Tamanu fruits helps to keep Pacific island coastal areas pristine.
