The history of the Tiki Tahiti brand

Founded in 1942, the Tiki Tahiti has become a legend in the world of monoï. Let's take a look back at the history of the brand and the events that set it apart from its competitors to become an exceptional brand. It all began around 70 years ago, when Gustave Langy (founder of Tiki Tahiti) managed to find the right formula for the monoï his mother had prepared for him when he was younger. Wishing to share his ancestral know-how, he decided to start marketing his product in Tahiti. Thanks to the development of various means of transport (airplanes, etc.), he was also able to capture the attention of travelers and tourists keen to discover new cultures. Today, the Tiki Tahiti brand sells its monoi-based products all over the world.

A continuous evolution since 1974

The Tiki Tahiti brand has been in constant evolution since 1974 (when monoi began to be exported to France). Thanks to the high quality of its products and manufacturing processes, over the years it has acquired numerous certifications, enabling it to reinforce its brand image. A SARL (limited liability company) was set up in France, and Monoï USA was created in the United States to distribute all the coveted Tiki products more easily and more widely. Thanks to the brand's success, in 2012 they were able to invest in new equipment, enlarging their operating area while maintaining a high quality of equipment to secure the various working tools used.

Tiki Tahiti, monoï distributed worldwide

Today, the Tiki Tahiti brand distributes all its monoi products in many parts of the world. First of all, in Europe, the brand makes its products available in virtually every country of the European Union, and these products are stocked and distributed from the SARL in France. Distribution also takes place in Africa, America and Asia. This time, it's the Tiki Tahiti perfumery that takes charge of shipping the monoi. It's easy to see how the Tiki Tahiti brand has gained notoriety in all the countries where it now distributes its products.

Tiki Tahiti's first monoi-based products

The great history of the Tiki Tahiti brand began with certain products. Here are some of the brand's first products:

• Tiaré monoï (the tiare flower is the symbol of Tahiti), this unique monoï was the first to appear in Tahitian hands. All other products followed. This is the original flagship product of the famous Tiki Tahiti brand. This monoi has many interesting features, which we'll look at in the second part of this article.
• Monoï solaire is the second range of Tiki Tahiti monoï to be produced. These monoi have the particularity of protecting your skin from UVA and UVB rays emitted by the sun. Each product has a different sun protection factor (SPF = Sun Protector Factor), so it's important to be well-informed and choose the right sun monoï to protect your skin.
• Next came Vanilla Monoï, the first scented monoï to be created. After Vanilla Monoï, all the other scents were developed.

Monoï Tiki, the emblematic flower bottle

The brand's Monoï de Tahiti is made from several essential elements. These include the famous Tiaré flower, the symbol of the Polynesian islands, which has a short shelf life and an exceptional scent. Tiaré flowers are unique in that they grow only on Polynesian islands. The second essential ingredient is the coconut, from which the oil is extracted. Once you've got everything you need to make Tahitian monoi, you can move on to making monoi oil. Read our article : The secrets of monoi production to learn more about how this famous oil is made.

The mythical bottle of Tiki Monoï

Monoi Tiki is undoubtedly the product that has made the brand a household name. But why? What's so special about this product? First and foremost, its fragrance. Monoi Tiki is made from a formula (a blend of Tiaré flowers and coconut oil) that only the Langy family holds, a recipe handed down from generation to generation. Numerous fragrance variations can be created, depending on the quantity of each element in the formula and many other factors. In this way, the Tiki Tahiti brand (and thus the Langy family) has succeeded in finding the ideal formula for a unique and coveted fragrance. Then there's the packaging. The Monoi Tiki bottle is ordinary and easy to hold, but what makes the packaging unique is the product label. The design and appearance of the Monoi Tiki label has been registered, so they're the only ones who can use it. Now we come to the final reason why Monoi Tiki has become a benchmark product in the world of monoi. The bottle of Monoi Tiki Tiaré contains a real Tiaré flower, which has earned the product the nickname "Monoi with the flower" since the 1970s, and nowadays all over the world!
