For centuries, <\/span>French Polynesians<\/span> have used <\/span>Tahitian Mono\u00ef Oil<\/span> as a <\/span>skincare, hair care, beauty, and fragrance<\/span> solution for the entire family.

Sustainably sourced <\/span>Mono\u00ef Oil <\/span>that<\/span> respects nature and people<\/span><\/h3>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The <\/span>Tiare Tahiti flower <\/span>used in the manufacture of <\/span>Mono\u00ef de Tahiti oil<\/span> is found only in <\/span>Polynesia<\/span>. <\/span>Mono\u00ef de Tahiti<\/span> is protected by an Appellation of Origin (AO) which guarantees its authenticity, its quality, and its local production. <\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The <\/span>Tiare flower<\/span> comes from sustainable agriculture. <\/span>Yves Rocher<\/span>'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. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
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. <\/span>Yves Rocher Mono\u00ef Oil<\/span> is the result of ancestral know-how unique to this region and is the fruit of a sustainable production process!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

UEBT Certified<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For 30 years (1994), Yves Rocher has been sourcing Mono\u00ef <\/span>of<\/span> Tahiti with a designation of origin guaranteeing its authenticity, quality and local production<\/strong> according to traditional know-how. In 2022, the Mono\u00ef <\/span>of<\/span> Tahiti <\/span>designation<\/span> celebrated its 30th anniversary.\u00a0 Mono\u00ef is made of the maceration of Tiare Tahiti (flowers) in copra oil (dried coconut pulp). <\/span><\/p>\n

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 Mono\u00ef .\u00a0 Since 2023<\/strong>, <\/span>the sourcing of the Tiare Tahiti<\/span> (the emblematic flower of Tahiti),<\/span> is UEBT certified, meaning it complies with all the social, economic and environmental criteria<\/strong> set out in the UEBT guidelines for<\/span> \u201cethical procurement,\u201d <\/span>which for UEBT means, \u201csourcing\u00a0that enables men, <\/span>women and biodiversity thrive.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
