Tamanu Base Oil 50ml

Deep, earthy and quietly nutty, this tamanu base oil brings a grounded, resinous character to skincare blending, massage oils and slow evening care. Made from Calophyllum inophyllum seed oil, it has the kind of presence that suits simple, unhurried rituals rather than barely-there formulas.

Deep green-brown character and a grounded feel

• The aroma is bold and earthy, with a nutty softness underneath.
• It suits blends where you want the base oil to have its own natural character.
• The dark amber bottle helps the oil feel at home on a bathroom shelf or treatment table.
• Its rich fatty-acid profile makes it a natural choice for skin that appreciates a more nourishing-feeling oil.
• A black ribbed cap gives a practical finish, easy to grip during mixing or everyday use.

From tamanu seed oil in Vietnam

This is Calophyllum inophyllum seed oil, better known as tamanu oil, with Vietnam listed as its country of origin. The visible bottle is dark amber, a classic choice for oils that are kept between uses and measured out in small amounts.

Blending and daily use

Use a small amount on its own, or blend it with other base oils when you want to soften its strong natural scent. It can also be used as a carrier oil for essential oils, with the dilution chosen to suit your own routine and skin preference.

Warm a little between the palms before applying. Its earthy aroma makes it especially suited to slow massage, evening body care, or richer skincare blends where scent and texture are part of the ritual.

Keeping it at its best

Close the cap firmly after use and store the bottle away from heat and direct light. As with any facial or body oil, patch test first if your skin is reactive, and avoid the eye area.

Why tamanu has a place in skincare

Tamanu oil is widely used in skincare formulas because of its naturally rich fatty-acid content and distinctive texture. Rather than disappearing into a blend, it brings weight, scent and substance. That makes it useful when you want a base oil with a more rooted, botanical personality, especially for massage oils, simple body oils and richer-feeling care blends.

Common questions

Is tamanu oil strongly scented?
Yes. This oil has a deep, earthy aroma with nutty notes, so it is more noticeable than very neutral base oils.

Can I mix it with essential oils?
Yes, it can be used as a base oil for essential oil blending. Choose a gentle dilution and patch test before wider use.

Is this the right choice if I want an unscented carrier oil?
Probably not. Tamanu has a clear natural aroma, so a more neutral base oil would be better if you want the scent of added essential oils to dominate.
