Tiare Monoi - Pure Monoi de Tahiti Oil
Monoi
de Tahiti has been a Polynesian beauty secret
for centuries. True Monoi de Tahiti is derived from the Cocos Nucifera
variety of coconut grown exclusively in French Polynesia and the native Tiare
flower, or Tahitian Gardenia. The remarkable properties of Monoi de Tahiti
include not only fantastic moisturization, but soothing, skin-helping nutrients
that serve as a natural replacement for body and hair oils. Pure Monoi de
Tahiti is one of the most phenomenal skincare products available. This
product is naturally scented with coconut and the lovely lightness of the Tiare
Gardenia. Monoi de Tahiti may also be scented with essential oils such as
Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood and Vanilla.
True Monoi de Tahiti will begin to solidify at
72° F. This is a natural occurrence and does NOT affect the tremendous
properties of the oil.
To liquefy the Monoi, simply run warm water over the bottle. Never
microwave Monoi, as it will destroy the vital properties of the oil.
Appellation of Origin
Due to the increasing popularity of Monoi de Tahiti, there are many
imitations. The way to know you are getting true, pure Monoi de Tahiti is
to look for the Appellation d'Origine logo. This seal is given by the
Tahitian government and is reserved for Monoi de Tahiti manufactured in French
Polynesia according to local customs and uses. It is a guarantee of
authenticity and quality.
