INCI: Calophyllum Inophyllum Seed Oil
Rich botanical nourishment for dry, stressed, and comfort-seeking skin.
What Is Tamanu Oil?
Tamanu Oil is a distinctive botanical oil obtained from the seeds of Calophyllum inophyllum, a tropical evergreen tree traditionally valued for its rich, deeply conditioning oil.
Naturally abundant in fatty acids and characteristic plant compounds, Tamanu Oil has a heavier, more substantial feel than many lightweight carrier oils. This makes it especially well suited to concentrated balms, salves, and targeted body-care formulations.
Benefits
Tamanu Oil helps nourish and condition dry, stressed skin while supporting softness, suppleness, and the skin's natural moisture barrier. Its rich emollient profile makes it particularly useful for areas that benefit from more intensive botanical care.
In balm formulations, it contributes lasting conditioning and complements other botanical oils and butters selected for comforting massage and focused body-care rituals.
Botanical Composition
Tamanu Oil contains a naturally occurring mixture of fatty acids, including oleic and linoleic acids, along with characteristic compounds associated with the Calophyllum plant.
This distinctive composition, combined with its rich texture, is one reason Tamanu Oil has become a valued specialty oil in botanical skincare and targeted body-care formulations.
Why We Use Tamanu Oil in Neural Recovery Balm
In Pure Intox Neural Recovery Balm, Tamanu Oil is incorporated as part of a concentrated botanical oil and butter base designed for targeted massage and conditioning.
Its substantial texture provides richness and glide while helping condition the skin during massage. It works alongside complementary botanical oils, butters, waxes, and aromatic ingredients to create a balm that remains on the skin long enough for an intentional, focused body-care ritual.
Sourcing & Quality
Tamanu Oil is obtained from the seeds of Calophyllum inophyllum and carefully processed and filtered for cosmetic use. We select it for its characteristic botanical composition, conditioning properties, and suitability for concentrated balm formulations.
Appropriate handling and storage help protect the oil's naturally occurring lipids and maintain its quality within the finished formula.
