Calophyllum oil, called Tamanu oil, is traditionally used for dermatology treatments and hair care. With an atypical triphasic aspect, this oil is rich in organic acids (calophyllic and inophyllic acids), terpenoids, flavonoids and molecules which cannot be saponified which gives it anti-inflammatory, healing, anti-bacterial, moisturising and anti-oxidant properties.
