Chaulmoogra has long been used in traditional Asian medicine, particularly in India and China, for the treatment of leprosy and skin problems. The oil extracted from the fruit's seed contains very unique fatty acids with a cyclic structure. These rare fatty acids are characteristic, in varying proportions, of trees in the Hydnocarpaceae family, which includes Chaulmoogra, and the Gynocardiaceae family, African cousins of Chaulmoogra.

In cosmetics, Chaulmoogra oil is traditionally recommended for its beneficial effects on skin problems (skin with atopic tendencies, acne-prone skin, etc.).

In Asian countries, it has also long been used to soothe skin prone to eczema, psoriasis and skin infections.

Recent research highlights the lipolytic properties of Chaulmoogra oil, which promote the prevention and reduction of excess fat and cellulite.

Studies also show that it helps toeven out skin pigmentation by aiding the movement of melanocytes from pigmented areas to depigmented areas, stimulating melanin synthesis and encouraging its transfer to the skin's surface. As a result, tanning is fasterand more even, spots diminished, the complexion is evened out and the skin's natural radiance is restored.
