Tamanu oil is a fatty nut oil that is extracted from the seeds of the tamanu tree, which is found in Asia and Australia. It has been used medicinally for hundreds of years by certain Asian, African, and Pacific Island cultures. Tamanu oil is an active ingredient used in many skin care products, including anti-aging creams, due to its ability to promote collagen and GAG production, which plays a role in anti-aging and skin regeneration. It is also rich in fatty acids, which can help keep skin moisturized, and contains antioxidants that fight against damage from free radicals.
Tamanu oil has been shown to have wound-healing and skin regeneration properties, and has been used to successfully treat scars in a hospital setting. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and may be helpful in treating inflamed acne. There are currently no known ingredients that have a negative interaction with tamanu oil.
