Using Tamanu Oil for Acne Scars and Redness: Direct Application vs. Formulation
Question
Can Tamanu Oil be applied directly to the face to help with acne scars and redness? Is this method effective, or is it better to use Tamanu Oil in a formulation, for example, at 10% concentration mixed with other ingredients or natural oils?
Answer
Hello!
Regarding your question about using Tamanu oil directly on your face for acne scars and redness:
Yes, you can apply Tamanu oil directly to your skin.
However, as the staff mentioned, formulating a product by mixing Tamanu oil (for example, at 10%) with other ingredients or natural oils is generally recommended. This approach can enhance the overall effectiveness of the formula compared to using Tamanu oil alone.
Tamanu oil is known for its properties that can help with reducing the appearance of scars and acne marks, soothing inflammation, and providing antibacterial benefits, which align with the concerns you mentioned.
