Testimonials:

I’m 93 years old, but still active, but I have severely dry skin and other skin problems related to skin cancer and the dry climate here in the desert. I found the DRY SKIN BUTTER at the weekly Farmer’s Market where Island Trend is test marketing products and immediately tried it out on my face. I was very impressed at its moisturizing quality and non-greasy feel of the product. My flaky, dry skin on my face felt better immediately and I bought a jar and have used it daily every since. It Is the best dry skin product I have ever used.

Handmade Organic Tamanu Butter 2oz – Price: $7.49

Island Trend announces their newest cosmetic product – 100% Pure Tamanu Oil (Calophyllum Inophyllum). One ounce bottle.

The oil comes from Tamanu trees that grow in many tropical lands. The Tamanu tree blooms every year with fragrant white flowers that turn into clusters of yellowish-white fruits. The fruits are edible, but it’s the internal nut/kernel in the fruit that is valuable.

After the kernels are extracted from the fruit and sun-dried for weeks, they exude a sticky, dark oil that is cold-pressed to produce a clear, yellow/green oil. It takes about 100 pounds of the fruit, to produce just 5 pounds of pure oil. This explains the relatively high cost of Tamanu Oil.

Tamanu Oil 1oz Bottle

Native Polynesians were among the first to recognize the unique qualities and benefits of the oil. It became their treasured skin-care aid centuries ago, long before there were drug stores or markets where they could buy protective cosmetics. They needed help as their exposure to constant winds, high temperatures and salt water made it imperative for them to find something they could use to protect and moisturize their skin. Tamanu Oil was one of their greatest discoveries and the trees came to be protected and sacred to them.

The natives still use Tamanu Oil for many other reasons: They believe it alleviates pain from burns, including sunburn, for rashes, open sores, small wounds, insect bites, bruises, joint pain, sciatica, acne, psoriasis, arthritis, eczema, & rosacea. They also use it for insect bites, blisters, diaper rash, shingles, bed sores, pimples, abrasions, and infected nails. The Oil has also been used for sore throats, muscle pain, boils, athlete’s foot, dry or scaly skin, infected nails and even abscesses. It also has anti-neuralgic properties.

Tamanu Oil has anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties and is noted for promoting the formation of healthy scar tissue and new skin growth,

Extensive research has been done on Tamanu Oil. It contains various lipids, a unique fatty acid called calophyllic acid, an antibiotic called lactone, anti-inflamatories such as a calophyllolide, coumarins and anti-fungicide agents.

Tamanu Oil is, above all, a marvelous moisturizer. If you have skin problems, Tamanu Oil may be your best choice. Try it! Just a few drops a day and your skin should feel and look better. Our Tamanu Oil does not contain other oil “fillers” and is truly the pure Oil, nothing more.

How to use Tamanu Oil:

After cleansing your skin, preferably with our Tamanu Oil Soap, apply a few drops of Tamanu Oil and gently massage it into the skin (use clean fingers or Q-tips). The oil absorbs rapidly and does not leave a greasy film. Use daily until you obtain relief.

Testimonials:

• “I have used Tamanu Oil for years. My son gave me a small bottle of it, and after a long wait before opening the bottle, in some desperation, I decided to try it. I had a bad case of rosacea, an incurable form of adult acne. I had tried everything the dermatologists prescribed, remedies that did nothing except cost me mucho money. After only four or five days of use a few drops of Tamanu Oil to my face, the unsightly redness of my swollen nose and cheeks went away, and the painful postules dried up. The effects of the disease stays away as long as I apply the oil once a month. What a relief! I also use it for burns, small garden wounds, insect bites and rashes. It really works for me.” Pablo W.P.
• “I have used Tamanu Oil on certain areas on my face where spotty dryness has long been a problem. The Oil does the job of moisturizing those areas remarkably well and my face looks and feels better. Now my husband is using it, but I intend to buy him his own bottle soon.” Carol C.

Island Trend is pleased to offer you organic bath and body products straight from nature’s backyard. Packed with nature’s best ingredients for healing, soothing and nourishing, all of our bath and body products will delight your skin and restore it to health.

I first learned about Tamanu Oil 20 nearly years ago, when I complained to my son about my incurable skin problem. I had rosacea at the time with all the usual symptoms – red nose and cheeks, painful postules and facial swelling. I had tried every expensive remedy prescribed by my dermatologist, but nothing helped, and my problem just got worse.

My son has lived in Polynesia for years and is versant in Polynesian natural remedies. He recommended that I try out a small bottle of Tamanu Oil, an oil he said that has been known for centuries throughout Polynesia as a treasured skin-care aid. I was desperate for some kind of relief, so I tried it for a week, massaging just a few drops into my face each evening.

It was less than a week later when I noticed a distinct change in my face– no more red nose or cheeks and the postules dried up and went away. I was astounded, but very pleased.
It seemed incredible, but my feeling was that if the product actually worked, I did not care if was a natural skin-care aid, just that it worked for me. I also soon learned that I had to continue using the oil once a month, if not the rosacea came back. Now I use it once a week and my face looks great.

I also soon learned that Tamanu Oil has many other benefits. It is great for burns, including sunburn, small garden wounds, insect bites, rashes, sores, healthy scar formation and even muscle pain, but best of all, it is a super skin moisturizer. A few drops massaged into your skin after bathing before retiring, smoothies and softens your skin in an amazing way.
People cannot believe that I am as old as I am as they don’t see as many wrinkles that should really be there. Most guess I look 15 years younger.

Of course I was so excited about the OIl, I told dermatologists about it and was surprised at their response. They simply said that there is no natural substance that will make skin problems
go away and that I should stop using them and try another prescription. There was no way they could convince me to go the prescription route again. Will Tamanu Oil work for you?
Everyone is different and so is their skin, but a trial use may help you see improvements.

I was so impressed with Tamanu Oil that I began making and selling a transparent, natural glycerin Tamanu Oil Soap, then a Lotion and a lip Moisturizer, all containing the magical Tamanu Oil.

I also make Noni/Acai Soap. Everyone who uses the products raves about them and tell me how much they have benefited from their daily use.

Tamanu oil is extracted from the nuts of the Ati tree found in most of South East Asia and the Pacific islands. The tree and its leaves have been used by the local population for centuries, but the extraction and use of oil originates from the tropical paradise island of Tahiti. The nun Sister Marie Suzanna discovered the benefits of the oil as early as 1911, when she used it to treat leprosy at the small island of Makongai.

Following the discovery of Tamanu oil, there have been several studies conducted by the medical community, but the oil was still scarce and little known to Americans until just a few years ago. Today, the oil is used to treat almost all skin conditions, from rashes and enzema to acne and dry skin. But even more amazing is that Tamanu oil is a powerful natural antibiotic and can be used on cuts and sores to prevent infection.

The people of Papau New Guinea use the oil to treat boils, cuts and pimples. Since Tamanu oil works as a powerful natural antibiotic, it can be used to heal and disinfect any cuts, even working as a fungicide.

Tamanu oil is basically an all purpose skin product that is completely natural and relatively inexpensive. It can both cure skin disorders, but can also be used exclusively for beauty as it leaves the skin looking silky smooth and soft. If you suffer from dry skin, then it is a very effective moisturizer.

Tamanu oil is one hot item to keep track on!

Miss Tahiti 2010 uses Tamanu Oil

Lucie Poehere Hutihuti Wilson has been using Tahitian tamanu oil for the last 10 years for complexion and to treat burns and scars. Her younger sister used it to treat a one year old scar on the back of her hand. The tamanu oil greatly reduced the appearance of the scar.

Centuries ago, the Polynesians had to find ways to improve and preserve their health by finding and using the benefits they discovered in their natural pharmacy, native plants and herbs. They had no doctors or pharmacies in those early times and were forced to find and test the plants they found growing on the islands. One of their most urgent needs was to find a way to protect and heal their skin as the salt-laden winds, the high ambient temperature, and injuries damaged their skin. Until they found the right plants and learned to process and find a potential remedy, it was difficult or impossible to treat skin problems.

Then they found the Tamanu tree, its fruits and nuts and discovered a way to make use of this miraculous tree as their sacred skincare aid. They were also surely attracted to the beautiful and fragrant little flowers that grow on the trees. When they mature, the flowers are replaced by small, round green fruits, about an inch in diameter. There is usually a single fruit per stem. As they ripen, the fruits turn from green to yellow. The green and yellow fruits then turn brown, wrinkles and hardens. The fruits are picked easily, or are left to mature on the trees to later fall to the ground as brown, wrinkled fruits. Small brown fruits often litter the ground around the trees, and when the natives opened the brown fruits, they found a single whitish/yellow kernel of a nut.

They may have tried to eat the nut, but found it to be less than tasty. Then some native traditional healer found a way to dry the nuts in the sun, sometimes as long as 1 to 2 months in the sun was needed. Then the kernels shrank and once dry, the natives then ground them between rocks and found that they squeezed out a few drops per kernel of a dark, greenish oil that had a distinctive nutty aroma. Perhaps the same traditional healer then tried the oil on his or her skin and voila, they had discovered the finest natural skin moisturizer on the planet. Many Polynesians use Tamanu Oil on their faces, hair and bodies everyday. These beauties are wrinkle-free and preserve their beauty for many years past their middle-ages.

Polynesian women soon discovered the oil and are noted for having the most beautiful complexions in the world and the reason is that they use Tamanu oil as their chosen skincare aid. Not only did the Polynesians find that Tamanu Oil is the best skin moisturizer anywhere, they also found that it has extraordinary skincare properties. It is antibacterial, and is a fabulous treatment for small injuries, wounds, very dry skin, burns, insect bites, rashes and sunburns. It has been used successfully as an aid for many other skin maladies such as rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, etc. It also helps treat larger wounds and has reduced the size of scar tissue.

Tamanu Oil has been used for centuries by Polynesians, but has only recently been recognized and praised by many medical practitioners, such as Dr. Mehmet Oz, and skin care professionals as well as knowledgeable cosmeticians. Island Trend has been providing Tamanu oil and cosmetics containing Tamanu oil for many years. We invite you to try them out and are sure you will be convinced of the many benefits of the miraculous Tamanu oil!

• Apply a small amount of Island Trend’s Dry Skin Butter, massage, with upwards strokes of your fingers into the effected dry skin areas. Repeat once or twice daily until you see how
moist and healthy your formerly dry skin now looks.

Keep in mind too, that Island Trend’s Dry Skin Butter contains two unique ingredients, Tamanu and Buriti oils–both are proven to be highly beneficial skin-care aids that can help convert
old, dry skin to healthier, more attractive skin.

• A tool like this personal exfoliating stone file, will help you remove old, dead and flaky skin from your soles, heels and toes. The concave surface of the file helps
remove dead skin on rounded portions of heels and toes. Don’t overdo using the file (you should not feel any pain during its use), but concentrate on the obviously
old, dry skin surfaces, making smooth passes, while exerting light pressure on the file. Dry skin will fall like white dust from the file.

Collect the dry skin flakes on a paper towel and then dispose of the towel. You may be surprised at the amount of dry skin you have removed.

• After the filing process is done, you will need a convenient place where you can wash your feet, thus removing any remaining flakes of dry skin A handy bath tub is fine.
Wash your feet carefully in warm water, preferably with Island Trend’s Tamanu Oil Soap, rinse with lukewarm water and towel dry your feet.

• With your finger, remove a small amount of Island Trend’s Dry Skin Butter from the jar and massage it into your feet (use both hands).

• Repeat the process as often as needed. You will soon see a noticeable improvement in the appearance of the skin of your feet. Your skin will be softer and more attractive too.
So will your hands you used to massage the butter into your feet. You will get a double, moister skin benefit for both your hands and feet.

You may not have to file off old dry skin after the first one or two filings, but be sure to wash your feet often, then apply our Dry Skin Butter to help make your feet look and feel like new.

If this is too much bending over for older folks, have your significant other do it all for you and then return the favor. It is a nice expression of appreciation for one another.

Note: Some people suffer from severely dry, deeply cracked skin so serious that localized bleeding may occur in both feet and hands. Infections can result. Such people are sure to benefit from the tamanu oil in the butter. The oil is known to be highly efficacious in the care of painfully cracked skin. In the worst cases, massage a few drops of Island Trend’s 100% Pure Tamanu Oil on the cracks.

I soon saw the reruns of the show and smiled that the “new” oil finally had a huge audience. I smiled because I have known about the oil, studied it in detail, watched Tamanu trees grow, flower and bear fruit and learned of the harvest and processing of the kernel from which the oil is cold-pressed. All of this while we lived in Hawaii where the Kamani tree (their name for tamanu tree), grew in many areas of Oahu. Later I became an avid user and marketer of the oil and have found unique ways to use the product for nearly 20 years.

Tamanu is anything but new to Polynesians. They were the discoverers of the tree and the many benefits of the oil, protecting it as an extremely valuable aid for healthy skin-care. Just imagine, it has been known and used by Polynesians for 2000 years!

When the French took over Tahiti in 1850, they soon learned of many natural plants that were known to the natives as sacred healing plants they used to treat many maladies. Among them was Tamanu Oil. French scientists studied the oil for years and many French cosmetics makers included it in their cosmetics. Strangely, however, word of the oil’s benefits were very slow to reach US shores.

Before our Hawaiian adventure, however, my son introduced me to the oil that he had obtained from a friend from Tahiti. I had complained to my son about my serious case of rosacea, a skin disease for which I tried many prescription drugs, creams and lotions–all to no avail. Although I had the oil in the medicine cabinet for months, I did not believe it would help my rosacea and didn’t try it right away. Not smart.

Rosacea turned my face red, my nose was swollen and I had painful postules on my face and inside my nose. My dermatologist explained that the disease is incurable and he admitted that expensive palliative drugs etc. may or may not work. For me, they did not.

The gift of the small bottle of Tamanu Oil turned out to be truly miraculous for me. I finally found the bottle and used a few drops on my face for five days and began to see immediate improvements. The postules dried up, my nose lost its swelling and my red face turned a natural color after years with a bright red complexion that most people thought was a bad sunburn. Since that delayed, but positive start, my wife and I have successfully used the oil for garden scratches, small wounds, burns, including sunburn, acne, dry skin, rashes, insect bites, healthy scar formation, muscle pain and even for cold sores. It works every time we use it.

I was so pleased with the oil, I began to tell people about its amazing ability to overcome my rosacea. I even told my dermatologist who laughed at the idea that a natural oil would be of any help at all. He told me I must be mistaken about my results, although my “new” face had to tell him something.

In 1995, I decided to enter the natural food/juice supplement market with my son and our initial efforts were directed to marketing Polynesian products on our web sites and through personal sales efforts. It was a success, but I remembered my experience with Tamanu Oil and we decided to buy and market Tahitian Tamanu Oil from a Tahitian supplier. Tamanu Oil became one of our best selling products in our product mix.

It was not until we learned that a Tahitian company was making and selling a lye-based tamanu oil soap, that we adopted the idea of making soap ourselves, but using more natural, vegetal-based clear glycerin soap base. Soon we were learning to make and selling our own brand of soaps to other companies through whose web sites we sold the new soap products. Everyone who tried the soaps loved them. Reorders were commonplace.

With our new web site now in operation, we are off and running with six natural, 90% organic products, all crafted with care and all contain highly effective skin-care components that make the products unique in the marketplace:
