Authentic Monoï de Tahiti: a precious oil that smells like escape
Who doesn’t know monoi? But who knows genuine Monoi de Tahiti? Corine de Farme makes it in France for you, and now presents it to you.
What is genuine Monoi de Tahiti and why is it so precious?
Monoi is a traditional oil originating from Polynesia, specifically Tahiti. Its name means “perfumed oil” in Tahitian, and for good reason: it is made from two essential ingredients—refined coconut oil and Tiaré flowers (Gardenia tahitensis), both iconic to the region.
100% natural, its production follows an artisanal and ancestral process. The Tiaré flowers are hand-picked and then left to macerate in coconut oil for several weeks, allowing for a complete infusion that respects and preserves the properties of each ingredient, resulting in a high-quality oil.
Of course, there are many products, perfumes, and cosmetics that imitate the scent of monoi. But they do not possess its qualities. To tell the difference, first focus on their composition: genuine monoi contains only coconut oil and Tiaré flowers. Also pay attention to their origin and the various labels that may appear on the bottle.
For example, Corine de Farme’s genuine Monoi de Tahiti contains no less than 99% ingredients of natural origin for a visibly regenerating effect on skin and hair, especially after sun exposure.
The benefits of monoï for skin and hair
Monoï is renowned for its moisturizing and nourishing properties, softening and protecting the skin, especially against the effects of sun and sea salt. It can also be applied to hair to make it silky and shiny.
Polynesian women have always used monoï as a massage oil and a central element of their daily beauty rituals. For example, after a shower or bath, it keeps the skin hydrated and pleasantly scented.
Also known for its soothing and healing properties, authentic monoï relieves skin irritations, sunburn, and insect bites. Don’t forget to pack it in your suitcase this summer!
Finally, this natural oil, often considered sacred and used during traditional Polynesian ceremonies, is also given as a gift to symbolize purity, beauty, and respect for others.
How to use monoï properly every day?
The question seems simple, yet if you want to fully enjoy the benefits of monoï, it’s best to learn how to use it well.
On dry or slightly damp skin, the result is a satin finish and a nourishing effect. After showering, don’t dry off completely and apply a small amount of monoï, massaging carefully. You can also focus on the driest areas to allow the oil to penetrate more deeply. On dry skin, the effect is immediately nourishing and protective against external aggressions.
To revitalize dry or damaged hair, apply monoï generously, focusing on the lengths and ends. Then, leave it on as you would a mask, for at least 30 minutes. For a deeper effect, wrap your oiled hair in a warm towel. Once the time is up, rinse thoroughly and wash with your usual gentle shampoo.
Finally, authentic Monoï de Tahiti offers you relaxation and well-being thanks to its fragrance and relaxing properties. As an exceptional massage oil or part of your regular care routine, it’s the perfect ally for your moments of relaxation, alone or shared.
