Dilo oil, also known as Tamanu oil, is a precious natural oil traditionally produced in the South Pacific, especially in Fiji, from the nuts of the Dilo tree (Calophyllum inophyllum). For centuries, Fijian communities have used Dilo oil as a natural healing remedy for skin, hair, and overall wellness.
The oil is extracted by drying the Dilo nuts and cold-pressing them to preserve their powerful bioactive compounds. At BUA Essentials, we source and process Dilo oil with care to maintain its purity, potency, and traditional value.
Why Dilo Oil Is So Powerful : Dilo oil is rich in:
Essential fatty acids (oleic & linoleic acids)
Natural antioxidants
Calophyllolide, a unique compound known for its anti-inflammatory and skin-repair properties
These components work together to nourish, protect, and restore the skin and scalp at a deep level.
