What is Monoi oil?

Monoi oil is a luxurious, natural oil made by infusing Tahitian gardenias (Tiare flowers) in coconut oil. Originating from Tahiti and French Polynesia, it has been used for centuries for its nourishing and beautifying properties.

Here’s a breakdown of what makes it special:

Key Features:

  • Natural Ingredients: Made from coconut oil and Tiare flowers; sometimes with additional natural fragrances.
  • Fragrance: Has a sweet, tropical, floral scent that’s instantly uplifting.
  • Texture: Lightweight and non-greasy, easily absorbed by skin and hair.

Benefits:

  • Skin: Deeply moisturizes, softens, and soothes dry or sensitive skin. Can help improve skin elasticity and glow.
  • Hair: Nourishes and strengthens hair, leaving it shiny, smooth, and soft. Helps tame frizz.
  • Body & Relaxation: Used in massages for its calming aroma and hydrating properties.

Uses:

  • Daily moisturizer for face and body
  • Hair treatment or scalp massage
  • After-sun care to soothe and hydrate skin
  • Perfume or aromatherapy

Monoi oil isn’t just a beauty product—it’s a sensory experience, combining tropical fragrance with effective skin and hair care.
