For Blemishes, Scarring & Stretch Marks.

Please note: While we're huge fans of this lush Oil, unfortunately, our Calophyllum Inophyllum (Tamanu) Seed Oil (100%) is now out of stock and has been discontinued. If you're a lover of Tamanu, we'd recommend trying our Rosehip Oil or Hyaluronic Acid & Niacinamide Serum instead.

DESCRIPTION
  • A lush oil that is also ideal for blemish-prone skin, scarring and stretch marks
  • Cold-pressed from the nuts of the Tamanu fruit native to the Pacific Islands
  • Used for centuries on wounds, just google Tamanu Oil to see some of these
  • Great at reducing redness that can occur with troubled skin and blemishes
  • Encourages the production of new skin cells and repairs damaged skin
  • Suitable for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin

Used for centuries in the Pacific Islands, this oil gained attention when it was shown in a study to help normalise the appearance of scar tissue. From the moment you apply Tamanu Oil to the skin, it can be seen that it’s a very intense and concentrated oil. It has a yellow/green colour, feels quite thick until warmed and has a very distinctive herbal scent. In some ways, it may not be the "prettiest" of the oils, but it is certainly one of the most effective.

Tamanu Oil is now becoming famous for its anti-ageing benefits based on promotion of new skin and its assistance in repair and rejuvenation. Ideal for those with blemishes, scarring and in need of skin soothing. It’s best applied in the evening or under a moisturiser.

Tip: To help heal and prevent stretch marks, apply to affected areas with a warming massage.

INGREDIENTS

Cold-pressed Tamanu (Calophyllum Inophyllum) Seed Oil.

Because we make our products for our families, we have a strict ingredient philosophy that excludes ingredients like Parabens and Phenoxyethanol.

We show all of the ingredients we use in our products on our website, not just the pretty ones. That way you know exactly what's in each one, and can get in touch if you have any more questions.

Please be aware that the ingredients we use in our formulas may be updated occasionally and therefore vary from time to time. Please refer to the ingredient list on the product packaging for the most up-to-date and relevant list of ingredients.

FAQs

What other products are also suitable for blemish-prone skin?

Our Blemish Cleansing Moisturiser was designed to help prevent the external causes of blemishes and breakouts using healthy ingredients (not bleaches like Benzoyl Peroxide). By using it twice a day, it helps prevent oil from oxidising in the pores, as well as cleansing the skin of the type of bacteria that causes breakouts.

We also recommend our Oil Cleansing Method. Cleansing with oil also sounds counterintuitive but oil dissolves oil, especially hardened oil trapped deep in the pores. This gentle cleanser doesn’t strip the skin of its natural oils, which also helps the skin to stop overproducing its own oil.

And finally, for those looking to exfoliate, we created our Gentle Exfoliating Powder, a gentle, non-abrasive facial exfoliant designed to keep the skin fresh by exfoliating physically and enzymatically.

Why has the packaging for this product changed?

Previously we packed our face oil in pump bottles and have recently changed them to droppers. The main reason for the change is because we had so many requests from our customers asking us for a dropper top as it seems to be the dispensing method of preference. We still think it’s super important to keep oils protected from light and air to reduce the amount of exposure they have to oxygen, light and bacteria that can contaminate the oil, causing it to oxidise and lose its antioxidant properties. To best avoid this we suggest that you don’t keep the bottle open for longer than necessary and never touch the dropper directly against your skin or face. Dispense the product directly into the palm of your hand and seal the product back up immediately when finished. The bottle remains opaque to protect the product from light exposure.

How do antioxidants work?

Happy you asked! One part of ageing is caused by “free radical damage”. Free radicals are molecules that have become short of an electron. To become stable, free radicals seek out other molecules and can take an electron from them. This can cause cell damage leading to skin ageing, among other things. Supplying antioxidants to the skin helps mop up these pesky free radicals so they leave your cells alone. The difficult part is to ensure that the antioxidants get deep enough into the skin to function. That’s why we choose the ones we use as they are known to be able to penetrate into the skin and get to work.

Do serums go underneath or on top of moisturiser?

Serums go directly onto the clean skin, under your moisturiser. Apply directly to the skin after cleansing and allow it to soak in for a few minutes before following with your favourite moistures. We have a few.

How often do the serums need to be applied?

For best results, use your serum every night before bed before you apply your moisturiser.

Is this a face serum or an eye serum?

We like to keep things simple even if marketing can sometimes tell us otherwise and get us to believe we need a different product for every part of the body, and even different parts of the face. All of our serums are made for your skin so rub it on whenever you like on your face and around the eye area. Feel free to use it on your body as well, we don’t discriminate.

Are serums safe to use around the eye area?

Our serums are safe to use around the eye area, however we don’t think it will not feel great on the eyeball, so avoid contact with eyes. If product gets into your eye, simply rinse out with water. If using an oil, they do heat up to body temperature and can spread out across the skin. We recommend applying the serum to the orbital bone around the eye, not directly on the eyelids.

    Please keep this forever!!! A godsend.

    This has been such a miracle for my acne prone/sensitive skin. I use this oil everyday (morning and night), and it works to immediately calm the redness in my face from my retinol use and doesn’t feel heavy at all. It’s become a staple in my routine and I’ve been stocking up so I never run out.
