Gardenia Tahitensis Flower Extract is sourced from the flowers of the Tahitian gardenia (Gardenia tahitensis), cultivated primarily in French Polynesia (Tahiti) and other Pacific islands. The flowers are traditionally macerated in coconut oil to create Monoi de Tahiti, or extracted using water, glycerin, or gentle solvents to concentrate bioactive compounds. It is a renewable, exotic plant-derived ingredient highly prized in natural and luxury cosmetics.
