Hedd Wyn New Radiance Tamanu Oil

Tamanu oil has been used for centuries in the South Pacific Islands and South East Asia as a beauty aid and to clear up skin problems. Healthy new skin growth is accelerated by the natural ingredients in Tamanu oil.

History and production method

The botanical name of Tamanu is calophyllum inophyllum which comes from the Greek language and means "beautiful leaf ".

Tamanu oil comes from the nut kernel of the apricot sized, green colored Tamanu fruit. The kernel is not oily when removed from the fruit. However, after being left to dry for a month or more it produces a dark brown rich oil. The oil is cold pressed from this kernel. Tamanu oil has a rich woody, spicy aroma.

Harvesting and environment

Hedd Wyn Essentials Tamanu oil comes from Tamanu fruit gathered in the wild. The fruit is harvested once it has fallen from the trees.

No damage is done to the environment during the process of collecting the fruit or pressing the kernel to make oil. Local people are employed to do the work, thus enhancing local economies. Pure, wildcrafted Tamanu oil is the only ingredient in our product.
