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.

Independent clinical study. Average results after 2 weeks.

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.

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.

Why Is My Tamanu Balm A Different Colour?

As a natural result of the seasonal harvest, the colour of our Tamanu oil can vary slightly between batches. Factors like climate, rainfall, and time of harvest affect its hue, which can range from golden-green to slightly amber green. These variations simply reflect its pure, unrefined nature, but don't worry this never impacts Tamanu oil's quality or performance.
