All About Tamanu Oil!
Tamanu oil comes from the tree, Calophylium inophylium, in the islands of the South Pacific. This tree grows up to 25 or even 30 meters in height, with long, spreading limbs. It has shiny, dark green leaves and sweet, fragrance, white flowers with a yellow center. This tree bears fruit the size of an apricot having a thin flesh and large nut hull inside. Kernels, inside the fruit, are removed and dried on a rack, for approximately one month. While drying, they begin to turn deep chocolate brown in color. They develop a sticky type of substance, with a fragrance, similar to butter pecan.
