Tamanu oil, also known in Africa as Foraha oil, is obtain by mechanically crushing the dried nuts of the Tamanu tree. The Tamanu tree is typically found in the Pacific and Asian Tropical regions. The oil is a rich, deep color, and it smells similar to butter pecan ice cream. Tamanu oil soothes the skin, and it helps to relieve irritations including sun burn, inflammation and common rashes. Tamanu oil is hydrating, and it also helps regenerate skin cells. Research shows that Tamanu oil is a strong anti-inflammatory. It is useful for the treatment of rheumatism, eczema and inflammatory skin conditions. The oil has been used for its ability to help heal cuts and wounds while acting as a germicide to prevent infection. Tamanu oil can be used undiluted as a treatment for eczema, psoriasis, cuts and wounds or in cream and lotion formulations for general treatment of dry skin. Tamanu oil can add nutritive properties to lip balms and lotion bars when used at 5%.

I used half the bottle already. I purchased this product because I heard it's good for fading scars. I notice a difference in the appearance of the scar - it's fading a bit. The oil smells like peanuts, but it doesn't linger for too long.

Wonderful quality. Your Tamanu Oil is fantastic. It smells like butter pecan ice cream! I use it in a scalp treatment, and it is divine.

I purchased this oil to use in my whipped body butter. I rubbed a small of it on the back of my hand to try out the scent and consistency. It was AMAZING! It rubbed in very easily, leaving NO greasy residue. None at all. And definitely has a smell like butter pecan ice cream. It would probably be divine with cocoa or coffee butter. Yum! An excellent product.
