Findings
This was a review of existing research (not a new experiment), and the authors found that tamanu oil showed promise in lab and animal studies for treating atopic dermatitis—specifically for reducing inflammation, fighting bacteria, and supporting wound healing. However, the review doesn't provide specific numbers or human trial results, so we don't yet know how well it actually works on real skin conditions in people.
