Tamanu Oil
Cold pressed from the seed of the tamanu fruit, Tamanu Oil is nutrient dense and gentle enough for all skin and hair types. The word tamanu means "a cure-all," and the oil has been used for centuries by Polynesian people as a hair treatment, beauty aid, disinfectant, first aid balm, and to treat a variety of skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis and eczema.
Its incredible anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and nourising properties make it the perfect hair agent. Not only does it encourage stronger, longer, and healthier hair growth, it also addresses hair loss and provides natural UV protection. Tamanu oil feeds the scalp and hydrates the hair resulting in thicker, shinier, more managable hair.

why inflammation matters
Beautiful, strong, shiny hair comes from healthy hair follicles in the scalp. Inflammation, fungus and bacteria are all damaging to hair follicle health, can contribute to hair loss, or weak growth, and the reason we shampoo the scalp and condition the hair. Tamanu oil, rich in fatty acids, has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties that help soothe and prepare the scalp for the best hair of your life.
