Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for the face?
It can be used on the face, but because it is thick it suits dry skin best, or a light touch. Our face oil blends it lighter for everyday use.
Who makes it?
Vanua Oil is sourced from cooperatives in Vanuatu, where the nuts are gathered, dried and cold-pressed. Each bottle carries the island where its nuts were pressed.
Why is it thick and green?
Cold-pressed tamanu oil is naturally thick and deep green, with a distinctive earthy, nutty scent. It is richer and heavier than most carrier oils.
How do I use it?
It is rich, so a little goes a long way. Warm a few drops between the fingers and press gently into skin, hair or cuticles as a nourishing oil. Use it as part of a routine, not as a treatment.
Is this oil a medicine?
No. Vanua Oil is a skin oil — a natural cosmetic made from tamanu nut oil. It is not a medicine and is not intended to address any condition.
What is tamanu oil?
It is an oil cold-pressed from the kernel of the tamanu nut, a tree that grows across the Pacific. Thick and deep green, it has been used for generations as a traditional skin oil in Vanuatu and the wider Pacific.
