I fell in LOVE with Monoi de Tahiti Tiare the very first time I purchased it!

The Monoi de Tahiti Tiare that we purchase and use in our product comes with the APPELLATION D’ ORIGINE (Guarantee of origin) so you know it’s the genuine product.

We use it in our Simply Soft Pearls of Sand Collection (excluding the soap) and for me..it is to die for! The natural scent comes through really well in the whipped body cream and the sugar scrub…however…it does not survive the saponification process in the soap so we had to find a fragrance oil that was similar in scent. You can even use Monoi straight up on your hair just like the French Polynesian women do.

What Is Monoi?
MONOI (pronounced Mah-noy) is an ancient Tahitian word meaning “scented oil” in the reo-maohi language. This natural skin care product is made from Tiare Gardenia blossoms and coconut extract from the Cocos Nuncifera variety. The combination of these locally grown flora act as a natural barrier against dehydration that can cause wrinkles and protects the skin against sun and wind damage. Extensive tests and analysis over the last few years are validating the long standing traditional claims of MONOI DE TAHITI®. It’s skin hydrating qualities are shown to be superior to those of other natural vegetal oils. Only the result, of tiare soaking in coconut oil, can be called MONOI.

MONOI DE TAHITI® is a naturally concentrated emollient which penetrates easily into the skin. Helping to re-hydrate the layers of the epidermus and to shield the skin against external damages. Lab tests demonstrate, after the very first use, MONOI DE TAHITI® helps the skin to look better and healthier. MONOI, a Polynesian ancient traditional product brings it’s unique and exotic properties to modern cosmetology.

What Is Tiare?
Tahiti’s national flower native to the Pacific Regions blossoms all year long. It’s exotic yet delicate fragrance fills the air all throughout French Polynesia. The small 3-foot tall bushes grow best on soils of coral origin. The Tiare flowers are deeply rooted in the cultural life of the Polynesians. The tourists receive a lei created with them on their arrival, and the Vahines use them to enhance their beauty everyday. Polynesian’s also use them as a natural air freshener by simply placing the closed blossoms in a dish of water and then making lei’s out of them as the buds open. Of all the Tahitian flowers the one used most for traditional medicine is the Tiare. Yet the moisturizing and firm forming virtues that come from using Tiare flowers in the making of MONOI are it’s most remarkable and famous application.
