Calophyllum inophyllatum
A coastal tree whose nut oil is prized for remarkable skin healing properties across Polynesia and Southeast Asia.
Tamanu (Calophyllum inophyllatum) is a coastal tree whose nut oil is traditionally used across Polynesia and Southeast Asia for wound healing, burns, and skin infections. Its primary active compounds include calophyllolide, inophyllum compounds, and xanthones, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and tissue-regenerative properties. Modern evidence supports its topical use for skin conditions, though clinical data remain limited.
Tamanu oil promotes wound healing through multiple mechanisms: calophyllolide inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis and inflammation; inophyllum compounds (pyranocoumarins) exhibit antiviral activity by interfering with viral replication; and xanthones provide antioxidant effects by scavenging free radicals and modulating NF-κB pathways. Additionally, the oil enhances fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition, accelerating tissue repair.
