Pure, Safe, Effective Products For All Skin Types
Volcanic Earth Profile
About the company
Volcanic Earth is located in Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu which is an archipelago of 83 separate island located in the South
Pacific. We are a manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer and exporter of natural organic skin care products and traditional Melanesian
skin treatments whose main focus is to formulate safe and effective products for people with skin problems from aging to acne and
everything in between. Our products are made from locally-produced Tamanu Oil, Virgin Coconut Oil, Volcanic Ash and Volcanic
Pumice. The company sources inputs from various areas of Vanuatu and operates a processing and storage facility in the capital,
Port Vila.
Volcanic Earth was born out of a desire to utilize the natural resources of Vanuatu to create much need jobs and employment
opportunities for disadvantaged Ni Vanuatu, particularly on the more remote islands of Vanuatu. Linda and Barry were aware of the
extensive ash planes on Tanna Island to the South and thought that there must be a way to utilize this ash to the benefit of
mankind rather than leaving it to go to waste. After extensive research and testing, they discovered that volcanic ash and pumice
are natural exfoliating agents that also work to cleanse and purify the skin. They learnt that some indigenous people on Tanna
Island used volcanic ash as a skin treatment and had for centuries.
Traditional therapies also incorporated the wide use of Coconut Oil and a secret skin healing agent they called Nabagura Oil (these
days known as Tamanu Oil). Both of these Oils are natural products produced from nuts. Coconut Trees and Tamanu Trees grow
in abundance across virtually all 83 islands of Vanuatu.
These revelations led these Expat Australians to develop an extensive range of natural body scrubs and other natural skin care
products based on Virgin Coconut Oil, Tamanu Oil, Volcanic Ash and Pumice. The sourcing of local, raw ingredients and
embarking on establishing Volcanic Earth as a trusted, international skin care brand would also create a significant number of
income opportunities for villagers collecting coconuts, Tamanu nuts and volcanic ash.
In 2008, Volcanic Earth embarked on a joint project with AusAid to expand its processing plant to produce bulk supplies of skin
care products for export markets in the wholesale and retail sectors, as well as a program of working more closely with village
suppliers to increase supply and to provide technical support for first stage processing by these suppliers.
Over the next 3 years, Volcanic Earths production capacity increased by 400% and the business doubled its gross income. By
2010 Volcanic Earth had established a network of overseas agents/distributors and payments to local tamanu nut collectors and
graders, primarily women, were over $A30,000. Coconut suppliers in rural locations were also receiving around $A10,000 per year
from Volcanic Earth. Volcanic ash was also purchased in bulk quantities. Payments also went to land transport providers and inter-
island shipping companies. Most of these suppliers had limited alternative income sources.
In 2011, Volcanic Earth moved to new premises in Port Vila to further expand its production facilities. Both domestic and export
sales grew and continue to grow to this day. With over 700 resellers around the world and stocking distributors in Japan, The
Netherlands and Australia, Volcanic Earth is making a direct impact on the lives of more than 1,500 Ni Vanuatu disadvantaged by
remoteness and poverty. Villagers now have the opportunity to earn cash for necessities in an otherwise non-cash economy. This
hard fought growth has also lead to direct employment opportunities within the company and specialist training.
So when you buy Volcanic Earth products you are not only supporting the growth and export development of a small, local
company but you are also contributing to the development of direct and indirect employment and livelihood opportunities for many
indigenous communities throughout Vanuatu.
Vanuatu Tamanu Oil A South Pacific WIN For Skin
Worldwide, ancient cultures have discovered natural remedies from the materials available to them. The Melanesian people of
Vanuatu are no different. Since Vanuatus earliest days, the oil extracted from the nut of the sacred Tamanu tree (known
scientifically as Calophyllum Indophyllum) has been used for its wonderful curative and regenerative properties of the skin.
Tamanu Tree
The Tamanu nut, from which oil of Tamanu Oil is made, can only be harvested twice per year. Once the nut is harvested, it must be
left to cure for 6 to 8 weeks. After this process has been successfully completed, the oil can be extracted through cold pressing.
Tamanu Nuts
Its extraordinary properties have resulted in it being called Green Gold of the Sacred Oil Of Tamanu. This sacred oil has a rich
and long history, but earlier in 1918, French Pharmacopoeia found the oil so powerful in its curative properties that they conducted
research and clinical testing topically, orally, and by injection.
In 1928, Sister Marie-Suzanne, a missionary of the the Society of Mary, tested Tamanus medicinal properties. She used it
effectively to treat leprosy and discovered in 1934 that it had analgesic (a substance that relieves pain) along with sedative
properties.
More recent studies prove the medicinal and cosmetic value of pure Tamanu oil. For example:-
1. Sc Glucan in Tamanu Oil provides natural UV protection. Sc Glucan protects against UV-induced DNA damage and
oxidative stress as a new biological UV filter with a SPF18-22 in ophthalmic preparations. This natural UV filter, inhibit 85
% of the DNA damage and oxidative stress induced by UV radiation at 1% concentration in opthalmic preparations (Eur J
Pharm. Sci 2007 Mar;30(3-4):203-10. Epub 2006 Nov 9).
2. Calophyllum Inophyllum oil, even at low concentration (1/10,000, v/v), exhibited significant UV absorption properties
(maximum at 300nm) and was associated with an important sun protection factor (18-22) in opthalmic preparations (Eur J
Pharm. Sci 2007 Mar;30(3-4):203-10. Epub 2006 Nov 9).

Vanuatu Tamanu Oil is exempt of the 26 allergen substances listed in 2003/15/CE European directive.
Using the ancient ancestral traditions and harvesting wisdom of the Melanesians, Volcanic Earth used modern technology and
created a cold pressed process for extracting Tamanu Oil. This allows us to use the oil without having any chemical additives in it.
The Oil of tamanu has numerous benefits and applications. The ability of this Melanesian remedy to heal the skin surpasses that of
many other remedies, including modern day medicines.
Essentially, Tamanu Oil has remarkable regenerative and curative properties. Plus, the oil has a wide spectrum of uses and
benefits. Therefore, the oil may be applied to just about any skin problem, but here are some more specific uses.
Below are just some of the many and amazing benefits of this ancient remedy:-
Aging, acne, acne scars, general scarring, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, lick granulomas, hot spots, skin irritations caused by
allergies, rashes, cuts, sores, burns of diverse origin (including radiation burns), wounds, chemical burns, insect bites, toenail

About Coconut Oil Skin Care coconut oils are made from
copra. Copra is basically the

can be made by smoke
drying, sun drying, or kiln
drying, or derivatives or a
combination of these three.
"First off, I LOVE THE COCONUT OIL! The consistency is cool for lack of a better term, as I just
scoop a bit out and once it hits my hands in that squishy solid matter it melts. I use that every night
as I go to bed on my hands. The reason is that I never found an oil that actually absorbs. That to me
is amazing. Usually they sit on the skin, this ABSORBS. Brilliant."
