About The Ora Way

The Ora Way is a Montreal holistic body care brand built around monoï oil, sourced directly from French Polynesia. Monoï is traditionally made by soaking tiare flowers in coconut oil, which gives it a soft floral scent.

It suits anyone who enjoys a slow, sensory self-care routine. Monoï oil can be used on skin and hair, and it feels especially welcome during Quebec's dry winter months. A bottle makes a lovely gift for someone who needs a moment of rest. It brings a touch of Polynesian tradition to a Montreal self-care ritual.
