Tahiti arrives at the hotel

Because it is important to protect your skin throughout the day, Hei Poa (Gilbert Laboratories) launches an exclusive line of hotel products in collaboration with GM Group. Thanks to this partnership, it is now possible to offer hotel guests sun care products rich in monoi, with notes of tiare flower.

Authenticity, sensoriality, escape and tradition: the core values of the Hei Poa brand are reflected in its seductive line of hospitality products. Practical and easy to use, the new range consists of a sun lotion SPF30 with monoi, guaranteeing high protection of the skin against UVA/UVB rays, as well as a milky after-sun spray with Tahitian monoi and aloe vera, to durably soothe and comfort the skin after a day of exposure. Pure Tahitian Monoi AO completes the range, providing daily hydration* and adding a touch of luxury to this cosmetic experience.

Traditionally used by Tahitians, monoi is a natural oil extracted from the pulp of the coconut, in which fresh tiare flowers have been macerated.

Monoi is mainly used for massage, but also for skin and hair care. It is known for its moisturizing and skin nourishing properties. Each of these three products is distinguished by its unique fragrance, inspired by the beauty rituals of French Polynesia. With refreshing notes of tiare flower, orange blossom and coconut, the exoticism of the Hei Poa sun milk is enhanced by powdery notes of vanilla. The after-sun milk, meanwhile, offers revitalizing top notes of freesia and coconut water, accompanied by heart notes of vanilla, jasmine, neroli, frangipani, tiare and ylang-ylang. The range is completed by the fragrance of pure Tahitian monoi AO, a blend of white flower, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, heliotrope, vanilla and coconut scents that takes the senses on a journey to the idyllic islands of French Polynesia.

The Monoi sun lotion and the after-sun milk spray are available in 40 ml bottles while the pure Tahitian Monoi AO is available in 30 ml bottles. Laurent Marchand, President of GM Group, said " We are thrilled to launch this great line of hospitality products with Hei Poa, an authentic and innovative brand that has been a part of French life for 45 years. Inspired by the treasures of nature, Hei Poa is a perfect fit with GM Group's values. We look forward to distributing this new product line to hotels around the world. ".

Upon opening the bottles, the journey is immediate. The traditional scents of monoi invade the room, and wherever you are, you are actually on the beach! The solar milk is rich, with a greasy feeling, but is easily sprayed. We just regret that the product in 30 ml is proposed today in SPF30 only. The after-sun spray is more delicate and fresher. It can be sprayed on just as easily to soothe areas reddened by the sun. Finally, pure Tahitian monoi is true to its reputation and expectations. A recognizable fragrance and maximum coverage. Have a great vacation!
