The Body Shop® difference: Originating on the most beautiful islands of the Pacific Ocean, Monoi de Tahiti is a natural oil made by soaking Gardenia blossoms (Tiare flowers) in rich, purified coconut oil. Monoi is an ancient Tahitian word meaning “scented oil”. This oil is used all over the body for hydration and worked into the hair to help condition and protect. Not only is Monoi a great natural hydrator, its action is progressive and long lasting. This means it may help the skin to improve its appearance and look healthier over time. Used as part of a traditional cosmetic ritual among the beautiful Tahitian women, or “Vahines”, it was a natural choice for our luxurious and indulgent Spa Wisdom™ range.
