Our superhero ingredient, Tamanu Oil is more than just another botanical oil—it’s a functional treatment that's science-backed. It's naturally rich in beneficial fatty acids, primarily oleic acid (Omega-9) and linoleic acid (Omega-6), along with significant amounts of stearic and palmitic acids, which form the skin's protective barrier, promote moisture retention, and provide healing properties. Its specific active compounds, calophyllolide and calophyllic acid, plus minor compounds like triterpenes, give it its unique regenerative power.
Multi-benefit nutrition for the skin: With Tamanu, xx, and xx, The Calm Balm is a beauty must-have and first aid remedy in one. It's definitely our vote for desert island essential!
