Tamanu nuts grows on a Calophyllum tree found only in the Motu Islands. The
tree’s roots are buried deep in the rich volcanic soil giving the nut its legendary
vitality. Over thousands of years, the Maori people have harvested the nut and
extracted the oil to use as an antibiotic ointment for the skin. Today, this oil
comes to you!
In 1938, Dr. Jeanson, a respected French biologist, started to experiment with the
oil extracted from the nuts of the Calophyllum tree, known today as Tamanu Oil,
finding numerous therapeutic characteristics. Modern researchers have only
confirmed what Polynesians and Dr. Jeanson have known for years.
