Tales from Nature
Gardenia Tahitensis or Tiare Flower is a shrub belonging to the Rubiaceae family, which grows in tropical climates where the temperature never falls below 10°C. Gardenia Tahitiensis is considered the national flower, the emblem of the island of Tahiti and all of French Polynesia, where women still adorn their heads and necks with Tiare flowers, woven into garlands that they give to visitors as a fragrant welcome gift.
The flower is macerated in the oil that is extracted from the pulp of the coconut to deeply mix the two elements, thus transforming them into Tahitian Monoi Oil, with its intense and enveloping Tiare Flower scent.
The Tahitian people regularly use Monoi for body and hair care, to preserve, soften and moisturize skin, protect, nourish and polish hair.
Benefits
Gardenia Tahitiensis Flower is used in cosmetics as the base and fragrance of many body and sun products products because of its intense, enveloping, and seductive scent.
