Calophyllum inophyllum, commonly known as Tamanu Tree, Alexandrian Laurel, or Indian Laurel, is a large evergreen tree valued for its glossy foliage, fragrant white flowers, and numerous ecological and medicinal benefits. Native to tropical Asia and the Pacific, this tree thrives in coastal regions and is widely used in landscaping, traditional medicine, and oil production.
The tree produces round green fruits from which Tamanu oil is extracted—renowned for its skin-healing, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. It is a key ingredient in many natural skincare products. The tree also holds environmental value: it stabilizes coastal soil, withstands salt spray, and improves biodiversity.
