Tamanu Oil

Tamanu Oil

Tamanu oil is one of the most storied oils in natural skincare — known for generations across Polynesia and coastal Asia as "green gold." It's cold-pressed from the nuts of Calophyllum inophyllum (also called Foraha or Alexandrian Laurel), and it's unlike almost any other carrier oil: a rich, thick, deep dark-green oil with an unmistakable nutty, earthy aroma. That richness and distinctiveness are the point.

Tamanu is a deeply conditioning, characterful oil, treasured in traditional skincare and increasingly prized in premium and heritage-inspired formulations. Its composition — including its signature calophyllolide and tocotrienols — and its slow-absorbing, emollient texture make it a genuinely luxurious ingredient. It's a potent, rich oil, so it's usually used in small amounts or in blends with lighter carriers. A carrier oil for external cosmetic use. Supplied from 100 ML to 10 KG, with COA and MSDS, from Raasa Oils.

Tamanu Oil Benefits

Rich Traditional Oil

Tamanu oil — known as "green gold" — is one of the most distinctive carrier oils in the world. Cold-pressed from the nuts of Calophyllum inophyllum, it's a rich, thick, dark-green oil treasured for generations across Polynesia and coastal Asia. Its depth, colour, and heritage make it a genuinely premium, characterful skincare ingredient.

Deeply Nourishing

Tamanu is a rich, thick oil — exactly what dry, depleted skin craves. It has a slow-absorbing, deeply conditioning character that leaves skin feeling nourished, soft, and comfortable. Its omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids help support the skin's moisture barrier, making it a treasured intensive oil for very dry skin and rich body care.

Nutty Oil

Part of tamanu's appeal is its unmistakable character — a deep green colour and a rich, nutty, earthy aroma that instantly marks it as the real thing. That distinctiveness, along with its natural composition (including calophyllolide and tocotrienols), makes it a premium, recognisable ingredient in heritage and natural skincare formulations.

Conditioning Oil for Hair

Tamanu's rich, emollient character makes it a valued hair and scalp oil. Massaged into the scalp and lengths — often blended with a lighter oil to balance its richness — it conditions and softens the hair, helps tame dryness, and lends a healthy shine. It's a treasured, characterful base in premium hair-care blends.

Best suited to dry and mature skin, and often used in blends, it adds a premium, heritage-rich, nourishing quality to natural and luxury skincare and body-care formulations built around richness.

Hair Care Products

Tamanu oil is used in hair oils, masks, conditioners, and serums for its rich, conditioning character. Usually blended with lighter oils to balance its richness, it conditions the scalp and hair, helps tame dryness, and adds shine — a distinctive, premium base ingredient for heritage-inspired and intensive natural hair-care formulations.

Massage & Spa Blends

Tamanu oil's rich, slow-absorbing, emollient texture makes it a valued massage and spa oil. It spreads smoothly and conditions the skin during use, and is often combined with lighter carriers to make its richness easier to work with — a characterful, premium base for spa massage and body-treatment blends.

Cosmetics Industry

Cosmetic brands use tamanu oil in creams, balms, serums, and lotions for its rich, conditioning character and its "green gold" heritage story. Its distinctive dark-green colour and premium reputation make it a sought-after, characterful ingredient in luxury, natural, and heritage-inspired personal-care formulations for dry and mature skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tamanu is a rich, dark-green oil cold-pressed from the nuts of Calophyllum inophyllum, treasured for generations across Polynesia and coastal Asia — hence "green gold." Its distinctive colour, nutty aroma, and deeply conditioning character make it a premium, characterful skincare ingredient.

It's a rich, potent oil, so it's usually used in small amounts or blended with lighter carriers (jojoba, rosehip) rather than slathered on neat. Patch test first, and note it's dark green, so it can tint pale products.

With a low-to-moderate comedogenic rating (~2), it's generally well tolerated, but it's a rich oil best suited to dry and mature skin. It's also a nut oil — anyone with tree-nut allergies should avoid it or seek advice. Always patch test.

Lighter carriers like jojoba and rosehip (to balance its richness), and essential oils such as lavender, tea tree, and frankincense — ideal for rich, premium facial and body blends.

Keep it cool, dark, and tightly sealed, away from sunlight and heat, to preserve its character and colour.

Yes. As a supplier, bulk distributor, and wholesaler, we offer 100 ML up to 10 KG (and larger on request) at wholesale pricing, with COA and MSDS available. For bulk and export enquiries, contact our team directly.

Caution

For external cosmetic use only — do not ingest. A rich, potent oil — best used in blends or small amounts; patch test first. Nut-derived — avoid if you have a tree-nut allergy. Being dark green, it can stain fabrics and tint pale formulations. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
