Tamanu Oil (Alexandrian Laurel Oil) for Premium Cosmetics, Soap Making and Advanced Botanical Formulations

Tamanu Oil is obtained from the kernels of Calophyllum inophyllum, commonly known as Alexandrian Laurel. This distinctive botanical oil is widely recognized throughout the cosmetic industry and is considered one of the most valued specialty oils used in natural beauty products and premium personal care formulations.

The oil is characterized by its deep green appearance and naturally rich nutty-woody aroma with subtle earthy and botanical undertones. These sensory properties make Tamanu Oil easily recognizable among cosmetic formulators and manufacturers worldwide.

Its lipid profile includes oleic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid. The oil also contains naturally occurring phytosterols, tocopherols, phospholipids, antioxidants, calophyllolide and various plant-derived compounds unique to Calophyllum inophyllum seeds.

Global demand for exotic botanical oils continues to expand as consumers increasingly seek nature-inspired cosmetic products featuring distinctive plant ingredients and premium raw materials.
