Made a scar salve for a client to use after stitches were removed post knee surgery. Her skin healed nicely and the scar was barely visible after a few weeks.

I live this oil, it’s very nourishing and great for dry skin. I mix it in with almond oil, pomegranate and raspberry seed.

This oil has changed my face care routine! I apply a pea sized amount in the mornings and evenings after bathing and my skin looks soft and supple. It has also helped some newer acne scars to fade although I have only used the oil a little over a week. I gratefully will continue to buy.
- CLChoyang L.Verified Buyer7 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsTamanu (a carrier oil)
Aloha, this is one of our long-time fave carrier oils! We like using it in foot & hand massages, especially just before bed-time, often paired with lavender oil, as it's incredibly soothing... also great for face, too!
We like to do Reflexology, so this often gets mixed with Patchouli, or Vetiver, or Sandalwood, and/or Helichrysum (which we like to use for alleviating aches & pains).
If you don't have a lot of training, it's a good idea to work with a professional Aromatherapist when it comes to mixing & matching essential oils, to figure out what's good for each individual...so if one has allergies, you can figure that out at the beginning.
(for Tamanu Oil, I suggest testing for nut allergies, etc before using if you or someone in your family, or a client is allergic to nuts. FYI: even coconuts are nuts, so it's wise to check)
This website is great as it has lots of info and you can ask them questions, too.
Anyway, we are super pleased with the quality of the essential oils and other products that we have purchased from this company, plus we really appreciate their dedication to be environmentally aware in their practices and their packaging!
Two thumbs up! 👍👍

I use this oil in my scar formula, it works wonderfully to help reduce the appearance of scars. This oils has many other uses as well but my favorite by far is for scars.
