Tamanu Oil
Tamanu oil is used in many cultures for a variety of different conditions. This oil is safe to use directly on the skin without a carrier, and has a very earthy, woodsy fragrance.
One of the biggest uses for tamanu oil is for acne and acne scars. Tamanu oil is highly antibacterial, which helps to reduce acne, and also promotes cell growth. Cell growth helps your skin regenerate, which aids in healing your scars (and can also help with stretch marks).
Dry skin and eczema are other conditions that tamanu oil helps anecdotally because of its moisturizing properties. When you're using oils on vulnerable or inflamed skin, it's crucial to understand what ingredients are involved. At Wholesale Botanics, we only use pure, unaltered oils, and we never add any synthetic thickeners or other dilutions.
All of our oils at Wholesale Botanics are monitored and quality-checked throughout the process of manufacturing, which means only the best oils reach the shelves. Everything is packaged domestically in a world-class facility in the Pacific Northwest.
