Byron Bay (Free Spirit) Love Oils Organic Tamanu Seed Kernel Oil 30ml
The beautiful Tamanu tree is scattered throughout the tropical South Pacific and Indian Oceans. Compared to most oil bearing seeds, the fresh Tamanu seed kernels are very unique as they contain no oil. Only until the kernels are removed from the cracked nuts and dried in the sun for 6 weeks, do they shrink, turn dark brown in colour and incredibly manifest up to 75% of their weight into an aromatic oil.
Tamanu seed kernel oil has been traditionally recognised by islanders for its amazing, yet non-invasing healing properties. This prized green oil is extracted by cold pressing kernels of nuts that have dropped from the tree so there is no negative impact on the life or habitat of the trees. This has provided a small but growing income for the native people of Vanuatu, contributing in a positive way to their village economies.
