Product Description
WHAT IS IT?
Award-winning, bestselling, and often described as a 'miracle in a pot', Tamanu Balm is your one-stop skin saviour. Whether you're soothing dryness, calming inflammation, or supporting skin recovery, this nourishing, natural balm is ready to work wonders.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Powered by tamanu oil, known as 'green gold' in French Polynesia, this balm is rich in skin-repairing fatty acids and anti-inflammatory compounds. Historically used to heal battle wounds, it’s now your go-to for battling modern-day skin stressors.
It melts into skin without stickiness, providing instant comfort and long-term nourishment. Use it to reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks, calm bug bites or rashes, hydrate dry elbows or lips, and soothe post-sun skin. Safe for all ages from 3 months+, and those with sensitive or reactive skin.
Choose the full-size version for home, and the mini when on the go. Once you try it, you’ll never want to be without it.

How To Use
Whether you swipe it, spread it, dab it, or dot it, there are hundreds of ways to use Tamanu Balm. It can be applied to blemishes before bed to reduce inflammation, or smoothed over sunburn, bites, stings, and grazes to accelerate skin repair. It can be applied to alleviate dryness and re-hydrate, and can even be used to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and post-operative scarring.
Apply a small amount directly to any area that needs soothing or support, and use it as much as you need throughout the day.
Avoid open wounds, but otherwise use it wherever you need, as often as you like.
Ingredients
Tamanu Oil
Aka ‘green gold’, this French Polynesian ingredient was used on the front line in battles to soothe wounded soldiers suffering from burns, cuts and infected wounds. Literally an SOS button for skin repair, the anti-inflammatory properties ensure a speedy recovery while the antibacterial side of things stops further flare-ups. It gets top marks for preventing free radical damage too, which degrades collagen and causes all sorts of unwanted side effects such as fine lines.
Blackcurrant Extract
Berries in general are overflowing with antioxidants and blackcurrants are no different. However they get an extra gold star for being able to soothe and reduce inflammation as well as improving the skin’s elasticity.
Cupuaçu Butter
Grown in the tropical rainforests of the Amazon, in some parts of the world this velvety butter from the Cupuaçu tree is used to make ice cream, but here we use it to keep skin hydrated and improve the resilience of your skin barrier so it can take whatever life throws at it.Delivery & Returns

Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend
At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

This balm has helped heal
"This balm has helped heal eczema on my leg in only three weeks. I have been so itchy and sore since 2020 and i cannot believe the itch and scabbing is gone. Do have scar tissue still but can live with that. Total miracle as steroids and other creams have done nothing."

The only cream to repair
"The only cream to repair my skin apart from very strong steroid cream. Have had to use steroid cream for flakey irritated excema prone skin on and off for 30+ years. Tropic was recommended by a friend and after a first couple of uses I noticed a huge improvement. After a couple of weeks my skin is almost back to normal. Hopefully after a few more weeks it will be fully renewed. Thankyou soo much Tropic 😊😊😊"

Q&A
- Hi, please can I check this product does not have any steroid in it? We have been using this on our son and it works miles better than what the doctor prescribed and so I just wanted to confirm for long term use. Thanks.
- Hi Ellie, thank you for getting in touch. Our Tamanu Balm does not contain any steroid, and it sounds like the anti inflammatory properties of the tamanu oil are working well for your son. We appreciate your great feedback!
- I use Tamanu balm on my face when I have cuts from picking spots, but worried it will break me out further. Is this pore clogging?
- Hi Sacha, thank you for getting in touch. Whilst we do not list our products as non comedogenic as many of them include natural fats such as oils, butters and waxes, the tamanu oil within our Tamanu Balm all in one skin saviour should help to reduce the appearance of scarring and redness from breakouts. We hope this helps!
- Can this be used for help with blisters?
- Hi Trish, thank you for getting in touch. Our Tamanu Balm all in one skin saviour can be applied to blisters, but not whilst they are an open wound, as the tamanu oil within the formulation should help to reduce redness and inflammation as this ingredient speeds up cellular repair. We hope this helps!
- Hi. I'm looking to use this to heal a scar after surgery on my neck area. Is it suitable for that? As I've read it has a grainy texture? Also I'm allergic to nuts...is this safe to use for allergy sufferers?
- Hi Jas, thank you for getting in touch. Our Tamanu Balm all in one skin saviour contains tamanu oil which has anti inflammatory properties and works to speed up cellular repair, therefore aiding the healing of scars. It has a balm like texture that is smooth, and tamanu is also not classed as a nut allergen by the FDA. Above all if there is a concern due to any allergy, we would advise doing a patch test to a small area of the skin to be cautious. We hope this helps!
- Would this balm work for polymorphic light eruption.i side l suffer so badly in the summer and have horrible itchy spots all over my arms
- Hi Louise, thank you for getting in touch. We will be in touch with you directly to provide some advice.
- My 6 month old has got eczema. I've know that I can use the cream version on him, but I also use that on my 4 year old and so the bottle has just run out and it's now out of stock. I've still got this balm which I'm using on my 4 year old, but wondering if I can start using it on my 6 month old too (until the cream comes back in stock)?
- Hi Fiona, thank you for getting in touch. Our Tamanu Cream sensitive skin saviour has been approved for use from 2 weeks, however, our Tamanu Balm is 3 years an older, so it will be at your discretion should you wish to use this on a younger age. We hope this helps!
