The Pili Ani Story

Unlocking The Beautifying Power of Elemi Oil

Our Story, Our Promise

Pili Ani began with a simple yet profound mission—to uplift Filipino farmers and honor the natural gifts of the Philippines. Rosalina Tan, an advocate for sustainability, discovered the extraordinary benefits of the Pili Tree while working with the local farming families of Bicol. More than its abundant fruit, she saw the incredibly nourishing and restorative powers of Pili and Elemi Oils.

Determined to share this with the world, her daughter, Mary Jane Ong, joined her mission. Together, they refined the process, ensuring that every drop of oil was ethically sourced and its benefits preserved. What started as a passion project soon became Pili Ani—the first and only Filipino skincare brand built around these rare, nutrient-rich oils.

Beyond skincare, Pili Ani is a celebration of heritage, sustainability, and empowerment. And with every bottle, we uphold our promise—to honor the land that gives so generously, to support the hands that cultivate it, and to bring you skincare that is as pure and powerful as nature itself.

Pure. Potent. Proudly Filipino.

And there's more...

Pili fruit is the highest source of Vitamin E among all nuts, and pure Pili Oil contains one of the highest concentrations of antioxidants and is extremely rich in essential fatty acids. This makes Pili Oil incredibly nourishing and soothing for all skin types. 

This rare and potent oil is truly a miracle protector and healer for your skin through all of its layers. Pili Oil penetrates deep into the skin to lock in moisture without ever feeling greasy, protects your skin from free radicals and pollutants that cause aging, and can even repair and reverse existing skin damage.

Pili Ani is the only ​brand that uses Pili and Elemi oils in all of its products

Derived from the very same Chosen Tree, Pili and Elemi oils combine to create uniquely powerful skin food that’s sourced from nature, enhanced by science, and crafted with soul.

Pure Elemi Oil is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antimicrobial so it not only tones, firms, and smooths fine lines, it also helps fight lingering acne causing bacteria.
