ETHERVA® Tamanu Oil / Unrefined & Raw / Cold Pressed
Advice Prior to Purchase: Our Tamanu Oil is truly unrefined. A potent nutty, earthy or funky scent, color variations and natural grain are all hallmarks of its unrefined nature. It’s proof that we haven’t modified the healing volatile oils, innate fatty acid chains and antioxidants present in the Tamanu seed fat. Filtering the product prior to use - isolating residue of seeds, hulls and in exceptional cases, foreign matter is recommended. Crafted for users of “chemical free” DIY formulations.
ETHERVA’s Tamanu Oil is produced with rural cooperatives in Sindhudurg using pure physical extraction, without solvents, bleaching, or deodorizing. This preserves its natural green hue, rich aroma, and full nutrient profile - making it truly raw, unrefined, and 100% natural.
Wild-growing Tamanu trees thrive along the western coast of India, nurtured by traditional small-scale silviculture practices. Because these trees grow without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, the oil maintains an inherently clean, vegan, and plant-pure integrity.
Cold-pressed from the seed kernels, Tamanu Oil remains a viscous green liquid at room temperature with a characteristic triglyceride profile (S:O:P = 17:35:16). Its soothing, restorative nature makes it ideal for DIY moisturizers, face balms, lip care, body butters, and hair conditioners. Use alone or blend with carrier butters; a patch test is advised for direct application.
Packaged in food-grade aluminum bottles and recycled paper cartons, this zero-waste approach supports sustainable, low-impact formulation; helping reduce reliance on single-use plastic in cosmetic routines.
