Blackcurrant
Blackcurrant Seed Oil is particularly high in gamma linolenic essential fatty acid, particularly Omega 6 and Omega 3. Called “essential” because our body cannot reproduce them, they form part of the lipid layer and are vital for healthy skin. They help prevent skin dryness, restore optimal moisture balance and maintain the skin’s barrier function.

Bergamot Essential Oil
Bergamot is an essence taken from the peel of a Mediterranean citrus fruit. Its delightful fresh fragrance has an uplifting and calming effect.
Cassia Alata Leaf Extract
From a Tropical habitat, this extract has developed a powerful defence mechanism. This compound helps to protect mitochondrial DNA from degradation. It supports the cell’s natural repair system by combating the harmful effects of the sun.
Marine Peptide
From the seaweed Enteromorpha compressa. This material works with the skin’s neuromediators, helping to block the message telling the skin cells to over-react to stress. It has a soothing action and improves the comfort of thin, sensitive and dry skin. It helps to reduce skin tightening, stinging and reddening.
Rose
This special oil has a gentle, floral aroma that is extremely mood enhancing. It is used in skincare when treating sensitive skin and can also lift the spirits. Only a little of this essence is required, as its perfume is intense.
Shea Butter
This is fat extracted from the kernels of the African tree. Aids absorption of active ingredients and leaves a protective film on the skin.

I love this product. Been using this now for many years and whenever my skin is a bit stressed out, this just calms everything down. It's hydrating but not heavy. And the smell is divine! I feel so pampered when I use Monu, it's well worth having quality skincare like this.

This is an amazing balm it has done wonders for the condition of my skin, I now don’t have any dry eczema patches on my face thanks to this little miracle balm. My skin is very dry but I find lots of products just block my pores but this balm is perfect, it smells great but is not over powering and I only need to use a small amount, I mostly use in the evenings so I wake up with my skin feeling and looking refreshed and not at all dry or patchy and it seems to really help even my skin tone.

Just wanted to let you know how successful I've found your products to be. I received the Recovery Balm in a beauty box from an online retailer around a year ago, and have consistently used this, and many of your other products since then. I have lupus (SLE), which at times has given me severe inflammation of the skin on my face, particularly nose and chin. With consistent use of your products, I no longer have to take oral antibiotics (prescribed for anti inflammatory properties), and my skin is healthier looking than it's been in years. No idea what your secret is, but thank you! In all seriousness, there might be a possible link for your company with dermatology and /or rheumatology practice, be it private or NHS. As a clinician myself, it makes such a welcome change to find a simple product that makes a difference without any risk.

I love this one. It is very soothing. I tend to put it on after I have washed and dried my hair because my face is then quite red and hot and feels a little dry. I also love the scent of the essential oils.
