Yves Rocher Monoi de Tahiti Moisturizing Dry Oil

Yves Rocher's Monoi de Tahiti Moisturizing Dry Oil is a botanical beauty product that captures the heritage of French Polynesia. The brand itself was founded in 1959 by Yves Rocher in the village of La Gacilly, Brittany, France. Starting in a family attic, the company revolutionized the beauty industry by selling plant-based cosmetics directly to consumers via mail order. Today, Yves Rocher remains deeply rooted in its hometown, where it operates organic fields and its primary production facilities.

The product is primarily manufactured in France, specifically in the Brittany region where the group operates three main industrial sites for body care, makeup, and perfume. While the Monoi oil itself is sourced through a traditional process in Tahiti (infusing Tiare flowers in coconut oil), the final formulation and bottling are carried out in France to ensure strict quality control and traceability. Ownership of the brand has remained independent and family-controlled through Groupe Rocher, ensuring the brand maintains its original focus on botanical science and environmental responsibility.
