Tamanu oil

Tamanu oil (CAS 223748-12-7), derived from the nuts of Calophyllum inophyllum, is a cold-pressed botanical oil used extensively in skin care and topical formulations.

Known in trade as Calophyllum tacamahaca extract, it is valued by formulators for its skin-regenerative and wound-healing properties in cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.

In personal care, it is incorporated into facial serums, scar treatment creams, and after-sun products where it supports skin repair and barrier restoration for the user.

Pharmaceutical topical formulations use it as a functional carrier oil in ointments targeting dermatological conditions. Hair care manufacturers include it in scalp treatments and masks.

These conditioning masks address dryness and damage effectively. At lower inclusion levels, it also appears in premium nutraceutical and food supplement formulations for various brands.

The oil is supplied as a dark green to amber viscous liquid, typically in cold-pressed, unrefined form or as a refined grade for applications requiring reduced color and odor.

Standard supply grades include cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications, with organic-certified material available for brands targeting natural and clean-label positioning in the market.

It is commonly offered in quantities ranging from small drums to bulk IBC containers to meet the diverse logistical needs of global chemical and cosmetic manufacturers.
