Tamanu Oil, also known as Foraha Oil, is a rich, emerald-green botanical oil cold-pressed from the nuts of the Calophyllum inophyllum tree, native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Celebrated for centuries in traditional Polynesian and African medicine, this deeply restorative oil is known for its powerful skin-regenerating, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties.
With its thick texture and earthy, nutty aroma, Tamanu Oil is especially valued for promoting healthy, clear, and resilient skin. It supports the natural repair of scars, stretch marks, blemishes, rashes, and minor wounds. Its natural antibacterial and antifungal qualities make it an excellent choice for acne-prone or sensitive skin, while its ability to support collagen production aids in firming and rejuvenating aging skin.
In haircare, Tamanu Oil nourishes the scalp, soothes irritation, and can help strengthen weak or brittle hair. Just a few drops go a long way, whether applied directly or blended into DIY serums, creams, or balms. Lyfe Herb’s offers 100% pure, unrefined, cold-pressed Tamanu (Foraha) Oil, free from additives and solvents—perfect for anyone seeking an effective, natural solution for deeply nurturing skin and hair.
