Tamanu Oil
Calophyllum Inophyllum Seed OilBarrier
A thick, green-tinted plant oil used as a rich emollient with a heavy, conditioning feel.
What it does
Tamanu oil is a thick, dark plant oil pressed from the nuts of Calophyllum inophyllum. As a cosmetic emollient it softens and conditions the skin surface and adds a rich, heavy slip to balms and oils. It is an emollient rather than a skin active; its dense feel suits dry skin more than oily or breakout-prone skin.
