Frequently asked questions
What is monoi oil?
Monoi is a traditional Polynesian-style preparation made by steeping gardenia (tiaré) flowers in coconut oil. This grade is gardenia flowers infused in coconut oil (INCI: Cocos Nucifera Oil, Gardenia Taitensis Flower Extract).
What does monoi smell like?
Soft, creamy and floral, with the sweet white-flower scent of gardenia over a gentle coconut base. It gives body and hair products a holiday, tropical character without added fragrance.
Is monoi solid or liquid?
Like coconut oil it is a soft white butter at cool room temperature and turns to a clear oil in warm conditions or on contact with skin. Warm it gently to pour, and it is ideal for melt-on-skin balms and hair masks.
What pack sizes are available?
From 1 kg up to a 5 kg pack, all priced online. The specification, SDS and manufacturing flow chart are available on request.
