Tamanu Oil
Rich, tropical tamanu oil is wonderfully healing to skin and is suitable for all skin types. Tamanu oil soothes and softens skin while it works to reduce foot and body odor. Tamanu oil is employed by Polynesian women for promoting healthy, clear, blemish-free skin and could help clear acne and fade acne scars in those who have a dry, chapped facial skin type. Hawaiian Tamanu nut oil hydrates dry skin and has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the swelling of rashes, insect bites, and sunburns. Tamanu oil also possesses significant antimicrobial, antibacterial, and anti-fungal qualities, making it effective on scabies, ringworm, and athletes foot and jock itch. It is also used on babies to prevent diaper rash and skin eruptions. The rich, nutty scent makes the oil pleasant to use and even helps eliminate body and foot odors. Tamanu reaches its full healing potential when applied to serious skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and diabetic sores.
