The botanical name for the Tamanu tree is Calophyllum Inophyllum. It’s in the Clusiaceae family, the same family as the Purple Mangosteen. It's also commonly called ballnut, Beach Calophyllum, Borneo Mahogany, or confusingly, Alexandrian Laurel (it’s not a laurel and shouldn’t be confused with the small shrub Danae racemosa which is also known as Alexandrian Laurel). The tree usually reaches a height of 26 to 66 feet tall. Flowering usually occurs in two distinct periods, late spring and late autumn, with fragrant white flowers. The fruit (ballnut) is a round green drupe.

It can be applied directly to your skin, undiluted. There are no reports of adverse effects from topical use. There have been however, limited clinical studies in humans about safety and effectiveness. Also, there have been no studies in children under 12 years old and teenagers 13-17 years old; therefore, isn’t recommended.



It shouldn’t be used if you have had an allergic reaction resulting in allergic dermatitis.



It may increase prothrombin time (bleeding time). So if you are taking drugs that increase bleeding or anti-platelet drugs you should not use this oil.



If you are taking drugs that cause drowsiness it may increase drowsiness because it contains xanthone compounds.
