A Tamanu Tale at Marché Ste Anne – Earth to Body

Marché Ste Anne

Almost time to start selling in the open air!  One of our most successful outdoor shows was the Filberg Festival in Comox, Vancouver Island.  We do many outdoor venues across Canada and are proud to offer our handmade skin care products at the Marché Ste Anne here on the west island.

At the Filberg festival we heard a ‘first account’ tamanu story. Since the oil itself is still fairly new to Canada, we continue to learn about its miraculous properties. I have read and studied about this special nut oil and have heard success stories from our customers on social media. But we still love to hear stories from the horse’s mouth, so to speak.

A young man was quite excited to see our tamanu oil at Filberg, as he had visited Tahiti and seen tamanu in action.

He explained, “Doctors in Tahiti treat patients in their hospitals with tamanu oil. It heals everything. I remembered this when I returned to Canada and had a terrible snowboarding accident. I skidded my hand along the ground to break a fall, and accidently hit buried barbwire, tearing my thumbnail to shreds. Three weeks of treating it with tamanu oil and not a trace of the injury.” He proudly fanned his perfect thumb in the air.

Since we first started selling tamanu, I have been using the oil on my face and absolutely loving it. But I had not had the need to use it for any other purpose, until the other evening. I slit my finger while trying to scissor open a package of Quebec’s famed Oka cheese too quickly. (It is difficult to be patient around Oka cheese.) I decided to treat the wound with the pure tamanu oil. My finger is most impressed!

We sell the pure Tamanu Oil (and ours is the truly pure, dark green).  We make an Argan Tamanu Soap, a ‘Spoil Me Body Oil’ and a Tamanu cream.  Tamanu is truly the miracle oil of the South Pacific.

Come try our tamanu creations at our Valois store or visit us on most Saturdays at Marche Ste Anne, the outdoor venue that opens in May!
