- Whether from acne, surgery, chicken pox or any other cause, tamanu oil can help! Simply place a few drops of tamanu oil on a cotton ball and gently apply it on the scar if it’s wide. You’ll be fascinated to see how fast it disappears with tamanu oil’s excellent skin regenerating properties!
- Just like it heals scars, tamanu oil also fades stretch marks with the power of its cell regenerating and renewal properties.
