Tamanu oil comes from the dried nuts of a tree (Calophyllum inophyllum) in the South Pacific. The oil smells sort of like musty hay. But, if you can put aside that vision of rubbing musty hay on your skin, it creates a wonderful soothing effect. It's used on sun burn, inflammation, insect bites and general rashes. Tamanu oil is also said to help regenerate skin cells, act as a anti-inflammatory, and have a hydrating effect on the skin. In traditional medicine, the oil is used for its ability to help heal cuts and wounds while acting as a germicide to prevent infection. It's also known as tamanu, kamanu and Alexandrian laurel.
