On the box of the bottle of Monoï from Yves Rocher it is written :
Genuine Tahitian Monoï. A legendary Tahitian beauty secret, monoï is created by steeping Gardenia flowers in nutritive coconut oil, a well-know skin softening agent. Traditional Gardenia oil Contains over 50 % of true Monoï of Tahiti, to protect your skin from drying and make your hair glossier. Use it daily as a massage oil, a hair conditionner, or tip a capful in your bath to soften your skin.
Does the Yves Rocher monoi oil contain mineral oil ? I`ve tried emailing Yves Rocher for the ingredients but they never reply back. Don`t want to order if it does and be stuck with it.
Another source to buy Monoï oil is at Yves Rocher Company. They sell a 100 ml bottle for $14.00 ( full price) but they often offer products at special price. ( Monoï de Tahiti, traditional gardenia oil ) (CDN price)
Maybe , I'll make mistakes in my sentences, I usually speak French. But this site is great and I love it !
I can second the monoi oil comment. I think it is a terrific conditioner and it has done wonders for the four people I know that have used it. One had a perm that had severely dried her hair out and the monoi oil made a HUGE difference in the condition of her hair. I used to recommend jojoba oil (and I still use it on occasion) but find monoi works even better.
You may be able to find it in a health food store near you, that is where I find it here. It is worth the search.
You might check the Alternative Therapies board, Merlin posted several conditioning recipes using home products that work very well (I`ve tried a couple of them.)
Good luck and happy conditioning. ;)

I find the Phytothérathrie (Phytologie) products to excellent and you can order them from the marketplace on this web site.
I have some clients that really love Aubrey Organics. However, some find them a bit heavy for their hair so it depends on your hair type. They are 100% natural products and I do like the Blue Green Algae Hair Mask. Here is a site with excellent prices on their products:
Bonne soirée notre petite amie Suzie Q. Vous qui vie dans la province d`amour. Cheap stuff can be Herbal Essences from the drug store. I prefer stuff like Biolage which is more money but worth every penny. Lánza makes a good product. Aveda is still my favorite in all. ( Aveda is very expensive). It really depends on your hair type.
Ok, I keep reading about all these amazing conditionners..... that I never heard of. I live in Quebec canada.... does anybody else live here who knows anout some REALLY great conditionners that won`t cost an arm and a leg? I found Fructis is great, but I need something better..... Thank you :)
