Protagonist of the new formula of the Aurora Borealis Elixir
Tamanu oil is increasingly popular in organic cosmetics for its genuine qualities, ideal for the skin of the body and face.
This oil is part of centuries-old traditional medicine, from Polynesia and Southeast Asia, where it was used for its various health benefits, among which we can highlight:
- REPAIRS AND REGENERATES THE DERMIS
Tamanu oil has many benefits, but the most notable is its ability to stimulate the formation of new skin tissue.
It is an extraordinary repairer and regenerator for the skin, helping to heal wounds, soften spots and encourage the generation of new dermis cells.
In addition, Tamanu oil promotes the production of collagen, which is essential for radiant skin.
- IT IS ANTIOXIDANT
Tamanu oil is essential in anti-aging treatments.
It has a large amount of antioxidants that inhibit —and in many cases neutralize— the effects of free radicals (the molecules responsible for accelerating skin aging).
In addition, this oil is a great ally to pamper skin damaged by the sun. It is applied to skin that is hyper-pigmented by UV rays and that suffers from premature wrinkles, fine lines and a dermis with less firmness.
Its high percentage of fatty acids makes it a powerful moisturizer, helping to keep the dermis nourished and moisturized, giving it a feeling of freshness.
- HEALING AND ANTIBACTERIAL
The natural analgesic and antiseptic properties of Tamanu oil are what gave it the historical fame of healing wounds and accelerating their healing.
It is a strong antibiotic, helping not only to heal faster, but also to keep infections and bacteria at bay.
For this reason, it is recommended to use tamanu oil for conditions such as acne and to soothe dry, irritated and itchy skin.
According to research published in PLoS One, tamanu oil from the South Pacific, thanks to its antibacterial and healing properties, fights bacterial strains related to acne, thus achieving a rapid recovery in these conditions.
In the same investigation, the efficient and rapid effect of this oil in cases of fungal diseases, especially in the so-called "athlete's foot", was confirmed. Athlete's foot is a fungal infection of the feet. It usually appears on the fingers and is common in people whose extremities sweat excessively when wearing closed shoes or doing intense exercise.
- ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Tamanu oil soothes inflamed skin. Its anti-inflammatory components help reduce swelling and skin irritation when applied topically.
Tamanu oil is recommended for the treatment of skin inflammations such as psoriasis, eczema and rosacea. It also helps relieve burns, cuts, scratches and even, in some cases, insect bites.
- CAPILLARY STRENGTHENER AND ANTI-FALL
The lipids in Tamanu oil strengthen and moisturize the scalp, freeing the hair follicles from excess sebum, pollution, cell oxidation and lack of oxygen necessary for healthy growth. The result of its use as a hair mask, prior to washing, is that it gives the hair a completely silky, shiny and smooth appearance. Promoting growth and resulting in an effective hair loss.
By managing to recover the keratin levels of the hair, applied directly to the nails, it also makes them stronger, and repairs the damage caused by the chemical products used in manicures.
- ANTI STRETCH MARKS
Tamanu oil stimulates the regeneration of the extracellular matrix, while in parallel it slows down the inflammatory process triggered by tissue degradation. During the stretching process, proteolytic enzymes such as trypsin, chymotrypsin and elastase are lost, this being the main reason for tissue breakdown and the appearance of stretch marks on the skin.
Tamanu oil stimulates the synthesis of collagen and fibronectin, which makes it possible to blur the appearance of stretch marks and give the skin a smooth and toned appearance, while preventing the appearance of new fissures in the tissue. That is why it is recommended to apply Aurora Borealis through a daily massage at night, after showering, to prevent, soften and reverse the causes of the appearance of stretch marks.
