If they talk to you of Tahiti Even if you've never been, the first images that come to mind will surely include turquoise waters and a beautiful Tahitian woman wearing a crown of flowers. These are the tiare flowers (Gardenia tahitensis).
Monoi oil is made from coconut oil and tiare flowers. The flowers are left to macerate in the oil and give it the pleasant and characteristic perfume that those who have been to Tahiti are transported to these Polynesian islands.
The Monoi oil is marketed under strict designation of origin which certifies that the product has all its qualities. To achieve this, producers must pick the flowers just before they open and leave them to macerate for 15 days. The ratio should be 15 flowers per litre of coconut oil.
Although the qualities of Tahitian Monoi were officially recognised in 1992 when the appellation of origin was created, the women of the islands have been using it since to care for, protect, nourish and soften your skin and hair..
