What does the stamp and the designation of origin "Appellation d'Origine" on the Monoï de Tahiti Anakena mean?
Monoï de Tahiti is the first cosmetic product to receive a designation of origin. This label confirms the quality of its manufacture, the selection and Polynesian origin of its ingredients.
"Appellation d'Origine" - Rules of use
The exceptional characteristics of Monoï de Tahiti were officially recognized in April 1992 by the Denomination of Origin and became a guarantee of authenticity and quality. This distinction is limited to products produced in French Polynesia according to local and constantly verified manufacturing processes: Gardenia taitensis (flower of Polynesia, also called Tiare Tahiti) is soaked in refined coconut oil. The guarantee resulting from this initiative has contributed to the fact that today 90 % of monoï comply with current legislation.
The label of the product must indicate the percentage of Monoï de Tahiti, as well as be stamped with the "Appellation d'Origine" (guarantee origin stamp) - which is of course the case with us.
