Why use monoï?

Monoï is a gift from nature, from one of the most beautiful corners of the world. A Polynesian gem, monoï is a unique and effective treatment for both hair and body. Here are all the reasons why you should use monoï in your beauty routine.

A natural product, ideal for the whole family

The monoï is made from coconut oil (or copra oil for the export version), in which tiare flower buds have been fermented. The ingredients are totally natural and non-allergenic. Monoï owes its intoxicating fragrance solely to the presence of tiare buds. In other words, it contains no stabilizers, perfumes, additives or even preservatives, making it an invaluable care product for the whole family, from infants to the elderly.

Hair care

Monoï is a natural, high-performance hair care product. Rich in fatty acids, it protects the fiber, then deeply nourishes the hair to provide all the nutrients it needs.

The result is soft, shiny, strengthened and nourished hair! Monoï is a real blessing for hair that's dry, brittle, dehydrated, tired, split ends and so on. It's also ideal for frizzy hair, taming frizz and flyaways. What's more, it restores bounce and structure to natural curls.

There are several ways to enjoy the benefits of monoi on your hair:

• Mask: leave monoi on hair lengths and ends overnight, after wrapping hair in a towel. The next morning, wash your hair with two or 3 shampoos as needed. This mask should be repeated every week for intense care, and only once every two weeks, or once a month when hair is in better condition.
• Conditioner: Monoi can be used as a conditioner, leaving it on the lengths and ends for a few minutes. It's ideal in summer, when sun, sand, salt and chlorine attack the hair fiber.
• The styling product: people with frizzy hair will find great salvation in using monoi to help tame their curls. By applying a small dab of monoï to curls, hair will be better disciplined and give off a generous scent of vacation all day long!

A rich body oil

Monoi oil is also a precious natural skin care product for year-round hydration. It deeply nourishes the skin, ensuring softness and elasticity.

Monoï should be applied daily after a shower, on skin that is still damp. This allows it to penetrate the epidermis better, avoiding any greasy film. Thanks to its ultra-nourishing action, skin is left supple and healthy.

But beware: it's very dangerous to expose your body and/or hair to the sun when coated with monoï. This precious oil contains no sun protection factor. As a result, skin and/or hair can "bake" under the sun's rays, when the sun is at its hottest.
