Description
Tamanu oil, a traditional Melanesian skin protection remedy, has been used for centuries throughout the Pacific Islands. It holds an esteemed place in folk medicine practices for its healing and restorative properties.
Wild tamanu nuts are hand-collected from 83 islands across Vanuatu, then shipped to Port Vila for processing. The resulting oil is widely used in medicinal and cosmetic products to support skin healing and regeneration. Green Forest Oils is a socially conscious business that supports the livelihoods of local families through fair trade and environmentally sustainable practices.
Tamanu oil exhibits remarkable healing, restorative, and protective qualities. It is recommended for treating scars and stretch marks, moisturizing the skin, promoting healthy hair, repelling mosquitoes, and soothing nappy rash, cracked skin, and insect bites. Traditionally, it has also been used to fight infections, heal wounds, reduce acne, and support eczema relief.
