Monoi's moisturising properties:

From an EVIC-CEBA report published on 28 July 1998

Tests have been done in vivo for skin care properties.
"Monoi de Tahiti provides progressive and long-lasting moisturizing on the upper layers of the skin, perfect as a daily skin care product. The maximum effect is reached between 4 and 6 hours after the application of the skin care & beauty product".
"After only one application on the skin, Monoi de Tahiti's moisturizing properties are comparable to those of Karite butter and better than other skin care products."
