Suited to dry, rough or weather-exposed skin in need of rich nourishment and lasting comfort.

At the heart of this balm is genuine Tahitian Monoi sourced from French Polynesia. Monoi is traditionally created by infusing fresh Tiare gardenia flowers into coconut oil, producing a beautifully aromatic botanical oil long valued in Polynesian beauty rituals for the skin and hair.

We choose genuine Tahitian Monoi for its distinctive floral character, traditional infusion process and cultural heritage. More than a beautiful natural aroma, it also helps condition and soften dry skin while creating the sensory experience that makes Tahitian Gardenia Body Balm so distinctive.

Combined with organic shea and mango butters, calendula and antioxidant-rich botanical oils, this concentrated blend leaves dry skin feeling soft, comfortable and replenished.

Organic Shea Butter

We use organic, unrefined shea butter sourced from Ghana and selected for its rich texture and naturally occurring skin-conditioning properties. It helps nourish and soften dry skin while reducing moisture loss and supporting lasting comfort.

Its rich, emollient texture makes it particularly suitable for areas prone to dryness, including hands, elbows, knees and feet.

Calendula and Botanical Oils

Calendula is traditionally valued in botanical skincare for its soothing qualities. It is combined with apricot kernel, raspberry seed and passionfruit seed oils to provide lightweight emollient nourishment.

Together, these carefully selected oils help soften and condition the skin while supporting a smooth, supple and comfortable feel.

Tahitian Gardenia Body Balm is a concentrated, water-free formula made with nourishing plant butters and botanical oils.

Shea and mango butters create a rich emollient layer over the skin, helping to reduce moisture loss and improve softness. Tahitian Monoi, apricot kernel, raspberry seed and passionfruit seed oils provide additional skin-conditioning nourishment without relying on a water-based formula.

The balm melts with the warmth of the skin, making it easy to massage over areas that feel dry, rough or uncomfortable.

The result is skin that feels deeply nourished, soft, supple and beautifully conditioned.
