What Is Monoï Oil Really Made Of?

The story of this little fower with such a bewitching smell

Magic Behind the Ingredients of Monoï Oil

Monoï Oil , also known as Monoï de Tahiti oil, is a fragrant and luxurious oil made from a blend of refined coconut oil and the petals of the Tiare Tahiti flower (Tahitian gardenia).

According to the specifications of the appellation of origin, Monoï de Tahiti oil is the product obtained by macerating Tiare Tahiti flowers, harvested at the bud stage, in refined coconut oil, extracted from coconuts harvested at maturity in the geographical area of French Polynesia on coral soils. In addition, at least ten Tiare flowers must be macerated per liter of oil.

Tiare Tahiti Flower: Tradition, Simplicity, and Authenticity

On the volcanic and limestone lands of Polynesia, the Tiare Tahiti flower, also known as the Tahitian Gardenia blooms all year round, with a peak in flowering during the austral summer, from October to January.

This tropical shrub, which can grow up to 4 metres tall has small, white flowers that smell wonderful. Its beauty has captured the hearts of the French Polynesians, who have made it a symbol of Polynesian culture and an emblem of the Tahitian islands.

Sustainably sourced Monoï Oil thatrespects nature and people

The Tiare Tahiti flower used in the manufacture of Monoï de Tahiti oil is found only in Polynesia. Monoï de Tahiti is protected by an Appellation of Origin (AO) which guarantees its authenticity, its quality, and its local production.

The Tiare flower comes from sustainable agriculture. Yves Rocher's local partners get supply from a dozen family producers who follow good agricultural practices such as zero pesticide, by using natural fertilizers (made from fermented fish), placing plant cover rich in legumes, reusing macerated flowers for compost, and more.

Because we respect nature and humankind, we are concerned with ensuring our needs without neglecting our requirements. We obtain our supplies from a local partner laboratory. Yves Rocher Monoï Oil is the result of ancestral know-how unique to this region and is the fruit of a sustainable production process!

According to the appellation d'origine specifications, Monoï de Tahiti is the product obtained by macerating Tiaré flowers, harvested at the bud stage, in refined Coprah oil, extracted from coconuts harvested at maturity in the geographical area of French Polynesia on coral soils.

In addition, at least ten Tiare flowers must be macerated per liter of oil. Because we respect nature and humanity, we are careful to meet our needs without neglecting our requirements. We buy from a local partner laboratory. Stemming from ancestral know-how unique to this region, Yves Rocher Monoï oil is the fruit of reasoned production!

UEBT Certified

For 30 years (1994), Yves Rocher has been sourcing Monoï of Tahiti with a designation of origin guaranteeing its authenticity, quality and local production according to traditional know-how. In 2022, the Monoï of Tahiti designation celebrated its 30th anniversary. Monoï is made of the maceration of Tiare Tahiti (flowers) in copra oil (dried coconut pulp).

The flowers are harvested by hand, when they are still in the flower bud stage and are used fresh (maximum 24 hours after their harvest) for the production of Monoï . Since 2023, the sourcing of the Tiare Tahiti (the emblematic flower of Tahiti), is UEBT certified, meaning it complies with all the social, economic and environmental criteria set out in the UEBT guidelines for “ethical procurement,” which for UEBT means, “sourcing that enables men, women and biodiversity thrive.”

What should I bring in my carry-on?

All our advice for packing your luggage without making mistakes !

Vacation time is just around the corner. If you're taking a plane, then you certainly must be asking yourself the age-old question: what should I bring in my carry-on? Here are our tips!

Cabin rules to follow

Packing your carry-on bag could get complicated with all of the restrictions, especially on liquids.

What exactly do they mean by liquids? Perfumes, lotions, creams, oils, gels, but also products with a paste-like consistency, such as toothpaste. Make-up is also concerned, as mascara, lip gloss, foundation, and even nail polish are also considered liquid or semi-liquid products. The same goes for aerosols, deodorants, and mousses.

Choose your products wisely, as they can’t exceed 3 fl. oz each, and they must fit in a clear resealable bag with a maximum capacity of 1 quart! A bit timiting, isn’t it?

And what about other products? Despite what you may think, it is possible to bring on your nail clippers, nail file, a disposable razor, and even your hair straightener!

My carry-on must-haves

Now that you know everything about the restrictions, just choose the products you absolutely can’t live without!

With its intoxicating scent, the Monoi Traditional Nourishing Oil is a true vacation must-have! It will beautify your tan all while moisturizing your skin.
Bringing your own shower gel and shampoo on vacation is often quite cumbersome. But fixing this problem is easy: take the environmentally-friendly concentrated shampoo and shower gel with you! You can find the fragrance of your favorite shower gel in an innovative formula, eco-friendly packaging, and a mini size perfect for trips.
DID YOU KNOW?
Its concentrated formula reduces water and plastic consumption and its carbon footprint, contributing to environmental respect. Its rich and enveloping foam cleanses and perfumes the skin without drying it out, thanks to a sulfate-free* cleansing base. It allows for as many showers as a standard 400 ml format while using half the plastic.

As for makeup, consider bringing your Waterproof Eye Pencil, Intense Metamorphose Waterproof Mascara, Grand Rouge Mat Lipstick, and Radiant Illuminating Duo for a pretty, simple, yet effective look.
Don't forget solid soaps and shampoos ! With these products of the Green Heroes range, no issue with the liquids limit. This is a practical and eco-friendly solution. A multitude of sents, a delicate and envoloping foam that gently cleans and leaves the skin perfumed.

If you could only to take one product in your carry on, take the Famille Bio Repairing Cica-cream. Formulated with a concentrate of organic apple extracts, this cica-cream nourishes intensely, and helps soothe the driest and most fragile areas. Take its 50ml tube everywhere with you, for the whole family's comfort!

Can Monoi Oil Give You Healthy, Hydrated Hair?

In the fight against hair damage, hair oils are quickly gaining popularity

In the fight against hair damage, hair oils are quickly gaining popularity. While leave-in conditioners, creams, and serums can address a number of specific hair problems, hair oil’s recent must-have status may be because of the multipurpose approach to hair repair that they offer.

But even within this category, the question remains—what’s the perfect hair oil for you?

As is often the case, the solution for new problems tangling our tresses (environmental damage, heat damage, over processing) actually lies in an old, tried-and true formula—Monoi oil.

Prevents Protein Loss

Coconut oil itself is known to help prevent protein loss in hair. Made primarily of lauric acid, its chemical structure is easily absorbed by the hair shaft, helping to protect hair and stop breakage.

Natural Vitamin E Boosts Hair Strength

The same is true of Monoi oil—which has the added benefit of nutrients from the tiaré flower. In particular, Monoi oil is known for having a high concentration of vitamin E and anti-oxidants, which work to protect hair against free radical and environmental damage.

Reduces Split Ends

In studies conducted by the Monoi Institute, after using Monoi oil, subjects found their hair to have fewer split ends and overall improved hair condition. Under close examination, the keratin scales of hair fibers were more compact, presenting a smooth surface. By protecting and moisturizing hair, Monoi oil helps strands become stronger and more resilient.

Reduces Frizz

On top of improving hair’s strength, an added benefit of Monoi oil is that it coats and helps to smooth the hair shaft, reducing frizz dramatically.

Locks in Moisture

Hair oil can act as an occlusive in your haircare routine—meaning it creates a barrier that seals in moisture and prevents water loss. Depending on formulation, some hair oils have ingredients that deliver both moisture and occlusive properties, while others simply seal in hydration.

How Do I Use Hair Oil?

Applying a hair oil at the end of your haircare routine is a great way to ensure that all the nourishing ingredients in your products stay within your strands, keeping your hair healthy and shiny.

How Do I Add Monoi Oil Into My Routine?

If you’re thinking about adding a hair oil into your self-care routine for the first time, it can seem intimidating at first. However, hair oil is incredibly easy to use, and can benefit all kinds of hair types. Whether you have stick straight hair (type 1A) or tightly coiled strands (type 4C) Monoi oil can add an intense boost of hydration. Plus, there are many ways to incorporate the benefits of Monoi oil into your haircare routine.

Step 1: Detangle Hair

While many people wait until they’re in the shower to detangle hair, this can actually increase the likelihood of breakage. To prevent this, before you hop in the shower, run a gentle brush through your hair from scalp to ends.

Step 2: Cleanse Hair

Free of sulfates, the Monoï Hair & Body Shower Gel gently cleanses both hair and skin, leaving a sun-filled scent. Work it through wet hair and let the nourishing formula (made from more than 96% natural-origin ingredients) drench your hair. As it works, it will simultaneously remove impurities from your hair without stripping moisture out. Rather, the Monoi oil infusion will help your hair retain its lustre.

Step 3: Condition Hair Using a Wide-tooth Comb

Reach for the conditioner of your choice and work it through your hair, focusing on the hair shaft. A key tip to help in distributing product evenly is to use a wide-tooth comb as you condition. If you’ve already completed step 1, this step should be easy. Since you’re less concerned with detangling knots, you can focus on ensuring every strand of hair is coated with conditioner. Once you’ve thoroughly worked in your product, rinse it out completely.

Step 4: Hydrate with Monoi Oil

While your hair is still wet, spritz Monoï Multi-Purpose Moisturizing Dry Oil – Body and Hair, focusing on the shaft and ends. Made with 99% ingredients derived from natural origin, this formula leaves a non-greasy finish, while simultaneously delivering serious hydration. Lock in all the goodness you gave your hair in the shower, and enjoy then feeling of nourished, soft hair. This versatile oil can be sprayed on both wet hair and dry hair alike. If you find that your day two or day three hair is starting to feel dry, simply spritz again and enjoy the sun-filled scent it leaves behind. If you’re looking for an oil for curly hair, this formula is particularly beneficial as it doesn’t weigh curls down.

Step 5: Spritz a Sun-filled Monoi Oil Scent

Be enveloped in the tropical scent of Tahitian beaches with Body & Hair Mist Monoï. Spritz onto freshly washed or dry hair, and let this enchanting fragrance gently linger.

My skin is oily! What should I do ?

Good gestures to adopt when you have oily skin

We can honestly say that oily skin is not the end of the world. There are solutions that make your life easier.

1. Deeply cleanse your skin

We cannot say it enough: washing your skin is the bare minimum, particularly if you have oily skin.

In fact, you need to cleanse it every morning and night – but be careful not to strip your skin of what it needs.

We recommend gentle products because your skin produces more sebum if it's treated roughly. We reach for some purifying gel like the Pure Menthe Purifying Cleansing Gel. This refreshing gel frees the skin from excess sebum and gently removes impurities and traces of makeup.

2. Exfoliate

The sebum on oily skin makes it attract more impurities. What's the workaround? Depending on your needs, use a gentle exfoliant once or twice a week to purify your skin.

Melting Sébo Végétal Purifying Scrub with apricot pit microbeads gets rid of excess sebum and tightens the pores by removing the impurities and dead skin cells that collect on the surface of the skin.

To increase your comfort, take a moment to apply a mask like the Sébo Végétal Purifying Clay Mask. It supplements your beauty routine and gives your face a break so it can recharge and purify.

3. Always moisturize

Oily skin does not mean hydrated skin. So never forget about moisturizing it. When your skin gets dried out it stops working correctly. In addition to that oily sensation, it feels uncomfortable and tight.

This is often because the skin is poorly hydrated that it starts producing excess sebum in an attempt to regulate itself. Let's not forget that the secretion of sebum is primarily natural oil produced by our skin and scalp to hydrate itself.

Our solution is to use a lightweight moisturizer or a gel. Sébo Végétal Zero Blemish Moisturizing Gel Cream has a refreshing lightweight texture and a dual-action formula that tightens pores on oily skin to mattify and polish and provides your skin all the moisture it needs. It's also really important to drink water throughout the day.

5. Beautiful skin starts with a healthy lifestyle

Finally, a healthy lifestyle is your ticket to beautiful skin.

One of the causes of excess sebum is an unbalanced diet. So avoid sugary and fatty foods that can lead to new pimples! Take it a step further by choosing foods that are rich in omega 3 fats and antioxidants like citrus fruits, carrots, berries and fish. They properly oxygenate our cells, which works on our epidermis. Polyunsaturated fatty acids can actually help with hydration and make the skin smooth and supple.

Another culprit of oily skin is stress and there's a very simple solution: exercise! Physical activity promotes blood circulation and is the best outlet there is for living a zen and laid back life.

Lastly, sleep can also alter your skin’s condition because it regenerates itself at night.

6. What's changed at Yves Rocher ?

The Sébo Végétal skincare line is your chance to control shine and get a matte even-toned complexion. How does this happen ? With Labrador tea powder.

It has balancing powers that work to control shine, reduce the appearance of blemishes, and smooth skin.

This exclusive ingredient was solely developed by Yves Rocher Laboratories – from sourcing the plant to producing the extract – and is patented* in France for its action on oily skin.

This exclusive ingredient is in all the products of the Sébo Végétal line !

Take care of your skin and start using the right routine now !

THE OBSERVATORY OF THE BEAUTY OF NATURE

A stunning natural site to discover the wonders of nature

This new chapter started for us in 2016 when we purchased the Villeneuve farm and its wetland. Our ambition was to rehabilitate this stunning natural site that covers an area of 8 hectares. Today, thanks to our efforts and with the help of our partners - Ligue de Protection des Oiseaux (French Bird Protection League), Fédération de Pêche (French Fishing Federation), etc. - we have risen to this challenge for biodiversity.

The area, which had been degraded, has regained its initial purpose, once again becoming a home for numerous butterflies, insects, amphibians and migratory birds that are either passing through or have settled there permanently. A whole profusion of life has reclaimed the site. No less than 272 animal species have been identified, to the delight of the flora and fauna... but also the public, who can now understand the stakes of our commitment and discover the wonders that nature has to offer and the beauty of this biodiversity that we want to preserve.

Which Monoi oil to choose?

Not sure which oil to choose? We guide you!

Interested in Monoi but don’t know which oil to choose? We’re here to explain everything! We tell you all about the 35th anniversary of the collection !

Monoi, the star of the summer

Don’t you just love it? We do too, and that’s why Monoi has been everyone’s favorite line for years! Known for its intoxicating scent, it's often associated with the sun and tanning. Sweeping you away to a dreamy beach isn’t its only benefit.

Thanks to nourishing coconut oil, it leaves your skin so much softer and supple, and nothing is stopping you from using it all year long. Great news for Monoi lovers who want to feel like they’re on vacation!

Monoi is also excellent for your hair. It suits all hair types and helps protect it when you go swimming: just apply a bit of oil to your ends and lengths beforehand.

But be careful: Monoi oil doesn’t contain any sun protection. It can enhance your tan, but doesn’t protect against Uv rays. So always make sure you always wear sunscreen to protect your skin.

Traditional nourishing oil ? Moisturizing dry oil ? Which one to choose ?

Now that you know about the many ways you can use Monoi, it’s time to choose which oil suits you best! Nourishing oil or dry oil? The choice is not that easy to make...

Do you like rather light oils that not only moisturize your skin without leaving a greasy film behind but also enhance your tan? Then the Multi-Purpose Moisturizing Dry Oil is for you. Its spray nozzle helps leave a fine, nourishing film on your skin. You can also easily apply on your hair for soft, shiny strands.

On the other hand, if you prefer richer oils that provide your skin with much more intense moisture, go for the Traditional Nourishing Oil. With its new formula composed of 97% Tahitian Monoi, it leaves skin feeling soft and delicately scented.

The plus ? It's one of two collector's items.

Go for a collector's item!

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of Monoi, we have decided to take you on a journey to the beaches of Tahiti by reissuing the original Monoi label launched in 1988 on two flagship products:

The perfumed body & hair mist, its captivating scent will evoke sunny summer sensations. Refreshing and easy to carry, it is ideal for a delicate perfume touchup at any time of the day. 100% of testers say their skin feels softer and the addictive scent of the mist makes them feel like summer is not over. Made from 96% ingredients from natural origin, it is vegan, sulfate-free, made in Brittany and its bottle is entirely recycled.

The traditional nourishing oil, our iconic nourishing skin care product that needs no introduction. 96% of those who tested it state that their skin felt immediately more moisturized and soft. 92% also declared that their skin was more supple and beautified. Like the mist, it is made in France, has a sulfate-free and vegan formula, and its glass bottle is infinitely recyclable.

Oily hair: what to do about it?

Find purity and lightness from the root.

Does your hair get oily again too quickly? Does it feel uncomfortable? Discover how to reduce excess sebum production to get clean and light hair right from the root.

Why does my hair get oily so quickly?

We usually talk about oily hair rather than pointing the finger at the real culprit, the scalp, where sebum is secreted, a natural lubricant that also serves to protect hair from external aggressors.
Although sebum secretion is natural and essential to the balance of the scalp, it is when it becomes disrupted that things get complicated. Excess sebum production, also called hyperseborrhea, will suffocate skin on your scalp and hair at its root. This usually leads to an imbalance of the scalp and a proliferation of bacteria that can weaken skin, resulting in greasy dandruff and itching.

Sebum: your best friend or your worst enemy?

Sebum acts like a shield for our hair. It forms part of the hydrolipidic film. Once spread across the scalp’s surface and the roots, it contributes to the skin’s barrier function of skin to protect against external aggressors, and helps to retain water and keep the scalp hydrated. By spreading over the hair fiber, it creates a shield and protects it from external aggressors and dehydration. As long as the natural sebum secretion mechanism is functioning normally, sebum will be your best friend for supple and shiny hair!

EXFOLIATE AND PURIFY
If you have normal to oily hair, we recommend using a pre-shampoo care.
Scrubbing will allow you to gentle exfoliate the area in order to eliminate impurities, your hair will feel fresh and light from the roots. While a Purifying Mask will help absorb excess sebum and purify your scalp.
GENTLY WASH
For oily scalps, we suggest using a gentle sulfate-free shampoo, as it gently washes hair, respects the balance of all scalps and preserves the hydrolipidic film of the scalp.
Be careful not to rub the scalp too vigorously when shampooing. Instead, massage gently to avoid overstimulating the sebaceous glands.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAIR
While the source of the problem is found at the scalp, you should not forget to gently take care of the rest of your hair when in the shower. In addition to your shampoo, it is highly recommended to apply a rinse-off care during your routine.A conditioner to detangle, nourish and restore the radiance of your hair without weighing it down.
Or even a detoxifying rinsing lotion. This light liquid will help your hair restore its suppleness and shine.

MAKE THE FRESHNESS LAST LONGER
Do you use a dry shampoo? If not, you need to get your hands on one as soon as possible.
It is the SOS step for oily scalps to stay fresher longer and space out how often you wash your hair. Choosea dry shampoo with a purifying active ingredient.
Fine hair that tends to get oily is known to absorb odors. There are more and more fragrances and refreshing mists that can instantly and durably rid your hair of unpleasant odors.
Your new best friend for refreshed hair at any time of the day.

The purifying power of Organic Ocean Algae

Thanks to their unique knowledge of the plant world, our Botanical Beauty® Researchers have selected a PURIFYING ORGANIC ALGAE FROM BRITTANY. It is also known as Neptune's Harpoon because of the hooks on its spiny branches, which allow it to cling to the hulls of boats.

This unique characteristic has allowed it to travel across oceans and our researchers have found it off the coast of Brittany, not far from the Ushant island in the Iroise Sea.

Its purifying action makes it effective in reducing excess sebum production. Once rid of excess sebum and impurities, the scalp is purified and hair feels light and looks shiny.

Whether coloring at home or in a salon, semi-permanent, full head or highlights, there are a wide variety of hair dyes. We often compare chemical dyes to natural or botanical coloring.

Chemical dyes work thanks to a chemical oxidation process. It opens hair cuticules to lock the color inside. The color will be deeply impacted and will last a longer time, but the risk of altering your hair is very high.

To preserve your hair’s health, it is often recommended to use botanical or natural dyes. This is a process that simply covers the hair with color, but only on its surface. The hair fiber is respected, but the color fades more quickly.

What risks are there for my hair?

While dyeing your hair gives it a boost, it is not without damage to your lengths. During the coloring process, the hair becomes weakened. This is because chemical dyes damage the hydrolipidic film, which serves as a protective barrier for the hair. It is then exposed to all of the external aggressors (heated hair tools, sun, pollution, etc.).

The result: your hair becomes dry, dull and brittle. On the other hand, haire-cuticules open during the coloring process to absorb the pigments. The smooth and shiny appearance of your hair will thus disappear. With time, your hair will look less shiny and silky.

GENTLY WASH

Sulfate-free shampoos are often recommended for hair that has become more fragile after coloring, as they gently wash it and preserve the hydrolipidic film of the hair fiber.

We recommend adapting your shampoo to your color.

For darker colors (black, brown, red, etc.), choose a protective and nourishing shampoo that will gently wash your hair and nourish your lengths. This way, your color will be even more vibrant.

If you have bleached or lighter hair (blond, while, gray, etc.) use a purple shampoo that is specially designed for these types of color. It will reduce unwanted highlights and restore the radiance of your hair.

Density loss: what can be done about it?

Equip yourself with the right anti hair loss products!

Do you find that your hair is looking increasingly thin and tired? Discover all our tips to take care of density loss in a natural and effective way.

Understanding hair loss

In order to better understand how hair loss happens, we have to start at the beginning: the roots.

Microcirculation is essential to hair health. Found at the base of hair, it involves all the small blood vessels that allow oxygen and nutrients to reach the root.

It therefore helps to maintain and grow your hair. Any changes in this network deprive the hair of its energy and eventually cause hair loss in the long term.

When not renewed regularly, hair mass weakens and appears less dense.

Recognizing hair loss

There are two types of hair loss:

Occasional or reactive hair loss
Qualified as temporary, this is hair loss that occurs suddenly. Occasional hair loss is characterized by a thinning of the hair fiber and a sudden or mass hair loss. Usually found in women, this is sporadic hair loss that is completely reversible when treated quickly with appropriate care products.

Chronic or progressive hair loss
Contrary to occasional hair loss, chronic hair loss is permanent and requires long-term treatment.
Very common in men, it is becoming more and more frequent with women. Often due to a disturbance in the life cycle of hair, it is characterized by progressive and localized thinning of the hair fiber until the hair falls out completely.

What is the hydrolipidic film?

Found on the surface of the scalp and composed of a mixture of water and sebum, it covers the scalp and hair fiber to protect them from external aggressors. Lubricating and smoothing the fiber, helps provide hair with added suppleness and shine. When the hydrolipidic film is attacked, it no longer plays an effective role as a barrier to protect against external aggressors. Deprived of sebum, the cuticles that surround and protect the center of the hair (the cortex) lift and the hair becomes dry. Hair then loses its natural protection, becomes dehydrated, dry and brittle with split ends.
