Tahitian Monoi Oil For Hair And Body

By Sheila Venancia

What is Tahitian Monoi Oil?

Tahitian monoi oil is a result of enfleurage, the art of extracting active or aromatic ingredients by gently macerating flowers in refined coconut oil. The 2,000 year old technique has been perfected through the ages for cosmetic and pharmacological purposes.

Authentic Tahitian monoi oil is a natural beauty product based on two unique ingredients, Tiare Tahiti (Gardenia Tahitensis) and refined Polynesian Coconut oil (Cocos Nucifera). Monoi oil is stabilized with Vitamin E and fragrance is usually added to create a variety of different types of monoi oils.

How do you use Tahitian Monoi Oil?

For centuries, Polynesian women have used monoi oil as a pre-shampoo hair treatment. As a hair oil, monoi oil helps repair and deep condition the hair. Monoi oil is a luxurious, tropical bath oil or can be applied after a shower as a body moisturizer. Massage has a special importance in Tahitian culture, and monoi oil is always used as a massage oil. Monoi oil also makes a lovely, subtle perfume.

What makes Tahitian Monoi Oil the best skin and body care oil in the world?

Rare and Exclusive – Tahitian monoi oil is a completely unique and exclusive product. It originated in Polynesia hundreds of years ago. True and authentic monoi oil only comes from French Polynesia.

Scientifically Proven – It has been scientifically tested and proven to have emollient, soothing and purifying effects on the skin and provides long-lasting moisturization. Scientists claim that monoi’s benefits are comparable to or even superior to the effects of shea butter and jojoba oil on the skin. According to the Institut du Monoi, the Tiare flower’s composition is rich in terpenic alcohol and esters – which includes methyl salicylate – giving this beauty oil its wonderfully purifying and soothing properties.

Safe – Monoi oil is extremely safe. It does not cause any skin reaction, and carries no risk of allergies. In fact, historically and even today, Tahitian woman will traditionally massage the babies daily with monoi oil in the morning and at night.

Multi-Purpose – Monoi oil is incredibly versatile. It is used as a moisturizing body oil, an after-sun oil, a skin protectant from the elements, a massage oil, a bath oil and even a deep conditioning oil for the hair.

Luxurious and Transporting – Besides the benefits that monoi oil provides to the hair, it is also a luxurious body oil with a beautiful scent that transports you to the tropics and gives the skin a sexy, silky sheen

How Do You Identify Authentic Tahitian Monoi Oil?

Today, Tahitian monoi oil has become a sought-after beauty product the world over. So it is natural for many companies, big and small to want ‘Monoi’ in their lineup of products. However, many of these companies claim usage of the word “Monoi” in their product, when in fact the product is NOT monoi oil, does not contain monoi oil and in some cases doesn’t even contain coconut oil! Authentic Tahitian monoi oil follows a strict manufacturing code that oversees the entire process from handpicking the tiare flowers to storage and shipping of the final product. To be authentic, it must be made in TAHITI, not England, the United States, or somewhere in Asia, only Tahiti (also known as French Polynesia).

The list of ingredients on the packaging must contain the terms “Cocos nucifera” and “Gardenia tahitensis”. The percentage of monoi oil used in the product formula must also be indicated on the label.

If you cannot say “I love my hair”, then maybe it is time for a new hair stylist.
