Review (5/5): Beautiful, Great Quality Oil
I’ve been using Tamanu oil for years but ran out of the one I usually use, which is from Canada, and as I’m in the US right now I took a chance on Julia’s Essentials. I love that it’s filtered, as the other brand I use is unfiltered and therefore grainy. Julia’s Tamanu is dark yellow with a greenish tinge, smells like all the other bottles of Tamanu I’ve had, and has the vibe of being high quality. I’ve been out of Tamanu for months now and recently my skin (face) got really bad and intense lesions haven’t been healing. I knew I needed Tamanu. After only four days of using this product my lesions are completely healed. I wash my face, moisturize, and then put Tamanu on any blemishes morning and night. Full disclosure: two of the four days I didn’t go out so I was able to reapply throughout the day as well. The healing properties of Tamanu are so amazing, and I’m really glad I splurged on Julia’s brand because it’s really great quality and has worked wonders. I recommend it with confidence. A final note/pro tip: sometimes bottles of Tamanu that have a dropper, from any brand, can make the rubber from the dropper degrade and get stickie and it gets a bit messy (this has not happened to me with Julia’s, but I want to let you all know): Ways to avoid this are to keep the lid loosely tightened... don’t ever over tighten. I actually use a small glass amber jar that I partially fill with Tamanu to use daily, and I refill the amber jar from the main dropper bottle when needed. :) (So that I’m not opening and closing the dropper bottle everyday, and also so that if I drop the bottle, I don’t lose all my oil!).
