Monoi:
means"sweet scented oil"in Maohi,the ancient traditional language of
the French Polynesians.The secret of Monoi de Tahiti lies in the
delicate 100% natural blend that is extracted from the rich Tahitian
Tumu Ha'ari (Cocos Nucifera) palm tree and from the local "Tiaré"
(Gardenia Tahitensis) flowers.Together they create a rich emollient
moisturizer that penetrates quickly into the skin and acts as a natural
barrier against dehydration,which is a major cause of wrinkles.You'll
love the remarkable multi-purpose natural properties of Monoi de
Tahiti.You'll also enjoy the immediate results of Monoi de Tahiti,even
after the very first use.A few drops deep-moisturize and re-hydrate
instantly the driest skin.When applied as a pre-shampoo hair repair
treatment,Monoi de Tahiti restores a lustrous shine to dry or even
badly damaged chemically processed hair.
Is formulating with Monoi complicated?
It's melting point can be awkward in some processes but Monoi just
needs to be heated slightly to become easy to work with.Coconut oil
will solidify at a temperature below 24 degrees celcius (72 degrees
Fahrenheight) when it solidifies it is necessary to expose it to heat (
natural sun,hot water or close to a heat source) for the Monoi oil to
retain its natural properties during this process.
Do Not Use A Microwave To Heat.
