Description: Organic virgin Tamanu oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the tamanu tree. It is a popular oil for use in cosmetics and skincare products due to its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Tamanu oil is also known as Calophyllum oil, Kamani oil, and Alexandrian laurel oil.

It is cold pressed from the nuts of either the Calophyllum inophyllum (usually) or the Calophyllum tacamahaca, tropical trees belonging to Calophyllaceae family. The nuts yield 70–75% of the greenish-yellow inedible oil. In the northwest coastal areas of Luzon island in Philippines, the oil was used for night lamps. This widespread use started to decline when kerosene became available, and later on electricity.
