Monoi is the Tahitian word for Scented Coconut Oil, a miraculous gift of Mother Nature, used for many hundreds of years by peoples of Polynesia. When infused with flower and/or plant parts, it becomes a delightfully vital fragrant conditioner and moisturizer for both hair and skin. We created Monoi of Maui to fulfill the need for Natural Skin and Hair care without all the chemicals. It is truly miraculous in how well it works. Try it and you will be amazed. Monoi Oil is a traditional preparation of liquid Coconut Oil with flower and/or plant parts soaked in and then mostly removed. It has been used for a thousand or more years in Polynesia and the South Pacific, originating with the indigenous Maori people on the north Island of New Zealand. There are other Monoi Oils, most notably from Tahiti, made in many floral types. Polynesian women are known to have smooth lovely skin and rich flowing hair, in spite of harsh environmental conditions of blazing sun, and salt air. Monoi oil is the secret: it keeps the skin vital and rich and shows amazing results as a hair conditioner. It is a wonderful tanning oil but use good sense: it is not a sunscreen and it will not protect from overexposure to the sun.
