Tamanu Oil

Tamanu Oil is won by pressing the seeds of the evergreen Alexandrian laurel (Calophyllum inophyllum). The Alexandrian laurel is native to southeast Asia and grows in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Madagascar. It reaches 12 to 20 metres in height and is easily distinguished by its dark, rough bark and the elliptical shape of its leaves. The tree blossoms twice a year and the blossoms form yellowy drupes. The fruit tastes apple-like and contain a seed. It has to dry at least two months prior to gentle pressing to produce the oil. Tamanu Oil is traditionally used to treat wounds in the countries of origin.
