Arc en Sels Organic Calophyllum Oil (Tamanu)

Powerfully restorative

The callophyllum is a sacred tree that grows wild in mangroves along the Indian Ocean, particularly in Madagascar, where it is known as “Foraha”.

When the nuts of this tree are pressed, the first cold pressing yields a green oil that was considered sacred in ancient times and has a particularly characteristic scent. A powerful, naturally pure skin oil that softens and repairs sensitive skin and activates natural microcirculation. This organic Calophyllum oil, known as tamanu oil, is loved for its regenerating, skin-repairing and circulation-promoting properties.
