New Chapter True Tamanu Oil -- 1 fl oz

A proprietary blend of True Tamanu Oil & Certified Organic Oleifico Tradizionale Olive Oil. Tropical Topical Skin Rescue Direct from Paradise. The 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’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. The preparation of True Tamanu provides income for native people, and helps them to maintain an agricultural society. True Tamanu is a beneficial oil of unsurpassed quality, and contributes directly to environmental and cultural sustainability. From Molise, Italy, Oleificio Tradizionale is a rich, mellow, organic, extra-virgin olive oil (certified by Associazione Suolo e Salute). The olives are cold-pressed using “Old-World” granite millstones, and the oil is treasured for its unique feel and its ability to purify the skin.

"I Love Tamanu oil, I use it on my face and it is helping my small wrinkles disappear, I also use it on some scars, it leaves my skin hydrated and my scars are almost gone, the nice thing is that even though it is oil, it does not leave my skin oily, it is absorbed very quick, I will recommend this product to everybody."

"This stuff really is keeoing my eximia under control. I had a few red, itchy & flake patches on my face. Within hours of applying just a little bit of Tamanu oil on ths spot, the reddness was gone. It was no longer itchy. The next day you couldn't see where the eximia was. I apply once a day after I wash my face and I have not had a breakout since. It has been 1 month so far."

"I've been using Tamanu oil for a while and I love it, especially because it's a natural plant extract. It has a very strange (not bad) smell, which might turn some people off to it. But if you can get over that, it's really a great product. I use it on bug bites, small cuts, blemishes and scars. It doesn't work with one application but you can see a significant difference after applying it once. Use it 2-3 times and it should do the trick."
