What is tamanu oil?
Tamanu oil comes from the tamanu tree which grows in various tropical areas including Thailand, Tahiti, Malaysia and South India. The tree blooms twice a year with white flowers and then later a fruit in which is a large nut. The nut has a kernel which dried for a couple of months until it becomes a rich oil. It is then cold pressed and becomes a greenish color. One tree will create a yield of just 5 kg of oil. It is used in cosmetics as well as for its healing properties as a natural remedy.
