MONOÏ DE TAHITI
The best thing that can happen to a coconut.
French Polynesia, better known in our circles as "Tahiti" - this being the main island of over 100 islands - is a popular vacation destination in the South Pacific. From here comes the famous Monoï de Tahiti, made from two treasures of nature:
Aromas de Tahiti
The Gardenia taitensis, also called Tahitian Gardenia or Tiare Tahiti, is a species of plant in the Rubiaceae family. It is the national flower of French Polynesia and the Cook Islands.
The plant originates from Melanesia and Western Polynesia. The Maohis - the inhabitants of the South Seas - introduced it to the Cook Islands, French Polynesia and possibly Hawaii during their long sea voyages.
The Tiare flower - the emblem of French Polynesia - exudes a lovely and enchanting fragrance.
Aromas de Tahiti
"The white gold of Tahiti" - the Coconut (Cocos nucifera) - is a typical fruit of Tahiti and its islands. It provides oil of incomparable fineness. This golden oil, rich in essential fatty acids, is particularly appreciated for its nourishing and moisturizing properties.

Gardenia Tahitensis
The inhabitants of the Pacific islands use the wonderfully fragrant flowers to make their flower necklaces, called "egg" in the Cook Islands, "hei" in Tahiti or "lei" in Hawaii.
According to Pacific Island traditions, wearing a flower indicates relationship status. A flower worn on the left ear means that the person is taken and behind the right ear that he is still available.
The gardenia tahitensis is also used to produce Monoi de Tahiti, a unique oil perfumed by nature and made by infusing the flowers in coconut oil.

Production of Monoï de Tahiti
The Monoï de Tahiti Anakena is a macerate of Tiare flowers (Gardenia tahitensis) in refined coconut oil (Coprah) and is produced exclusively in French Polynesia. For this purpose, the tiare flowers are picked before dawn and immersed for 12 days in the coprah oil with a minimum concentration of 12 flowers per liter, using a special method of enfleurage. This process takes place at room temperature, which means that the oil is not heated in the process. During this process, the flowers release moisturizing and nourishing ingredients and the typical fragrances into the oil. After this time, the macerate is allowed to settle for 24 hours. It is then filtered, purified and a natural antioxidant (tocopherol solution) is added.

Good to know...
Please note: Compared to more domestic oils - such as olive oil - our Monoï oil, which consists mainly of coconut oil, has a slightly higher melting point. It is therefore still solid at room temperature and must first be warmed to around 24°C before use. Simply place the bottle in warm water for a few minutes and the oil is ready for your beauty and massage treatments.
The product does not contain sunscreen.
Possible applications
Application possibilities
Monoi de Tahiti Anakena is a true miracle product for the protection and care of skin and hair, ideal for relaxing massages, hair care, velvety oil baths and much more. It cares for sensitive, dry and irritated skin and protects skin and hair from moisture loss and dehydration.

Hair
Well-groomed and healthy hair contributes greatly to our overall well-being. Did you know that you can also use the Monoï de Tahiti Anakena for hair care?
Add the Monoï oil to dry or even damp hair, distribute well from the scalp to the ends of the hair, wrap a towel over it and leave the hair oil as long as possible - at least 15 minutes but preferably overnight. Then wash out well, if necessary with two hair washes with the shower gel skin & hair Anakena, until the shampoo foams again when you wash your hair.
This beauty tip is especially recommended after a visit to the pool and beach. The best possible effect of this hair nourishing mask you achieve with a weekly application.
Special intensive care for curls and for dry hair: Massage a few drops into the ends of the hair and do not rinse.

Massage
For big & small - also wonderful for baby massage. Put a little oil in the palms of your hands and apply gently. We recommend starting at the head and continuing to the feet, so that you take into account the energy pathways of the body.

Face
Gently apply a drop of oil to the face with fingertips in circular motions. Avoid the eye area. Subsequently, you can use the face cream Anakena (especially for facial skin prone to dryness, this combination is highly recommended).
After shower
Distribute a hazelnut-sized amount of oil between the palms of the hands and apply to the still damp skin after the bath or shower and massage gently. The skin gains elasticity and becomes velvety soft.

Sun care products and after sun care
A "real beach lover" always has his Monoï de Tahiti Anakena in his beach bag!
The oil intensively nourishes the skin stressed by the sun. Rub into the highly sun-exposed areas of the body, such as the face, shoulders, décolleté and feet. The skin is soothed and regains its elasticity. The Monoi de Tahiti beautifies your tan and gives a wonderful feeling of well-being.
IMPORTANT: Monoi de Tahiti does not contain sun protection factor and therefore does not replace the use of sunscreen.
Bath additive
For a pleasant moment of relaxation and to protect the skin, add a few drops of Monoi oil Anakena in the warm bath water. Instantly, a delicate tropical scent is released. Nothing stands in the way of your southern dreams. Silky soft, well-groomed and fragrantly scented skin is the result. After the bath, just dab the skin gently with the towel so that the oil wraps around your skin like a protective mantle.

Hand cure
We would like to give you a very special care tip with our wonderful Monoi oil from Tahiti - in the truest sense of the word:
Many people suffer from dry hands, especially in the transitional period, including people in medical professions, which is caused by the frequent wearing of gloves.
Here, our Monoi oil Anakena provides a wonderful remedy: simply put a little Monoi de Tahiti oil in a bowl and place the hands in the soothing oil for a few minutes. While doing so, the palms and fingers can be massaged all the way to the nails. This little "hand cure" can be used very well before going to bed, so that the remains of the oil can still be absorbed into the skin - this relaxes the hands and nourishes them at the same time.
