## Description

### Tamanu Oil (Calophyllum inophyllum)


**Tamanu oil**, also known as *calophyllum oil*, is extracted from the seeds of the *Calophyllum inophyllum* tree, native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands. Highly valued in traditional Polynesian medicine, this oil is renowned for its ability to **regenerate and heal the skin**.


Its **deep green color**, dense texture, and earthy-woody aroma reflect its natural origin and evoke the pure power of nature.


#### 🌿 Properties of Tamanu Oil

- **Regenerative & healing:** accelerates wound, scar, and burn recovery.

- **Antibacterial & antifungal:** helps fight infections and skin imperfections such as acne.

- **Anti-inflammatory:** soothes pain, redness, and inflammation in skin and joints.

  For my skin, it is the best moisturizer that exists. I have tried others, but nothing compares to its density, color, and smell. The smell, personally, I love. Don't change ESSENTIALS!! Without you, it would be torture to find this quality/price!!
