Naked Bear Pacific Islands Collection
$34.00
Three oils the Pacific has trusted for generations, in one set. The Pacific Islands Collection pairs kukui, tamanu, and monoi — the lightest oil we bottle, the richest, and the one that smells like the islands.
Kukui is Hawaii's state tree, and Hawaiians have turned to its oil for centuries for skin worn down by sun, salt, and wind. Tamanu nuts are cured in the sun for weeks before pressing, and islanders across the South Pacific have used the oil on damaged skin for as long as anyone has kept track. Monoi comes from French Polynesia, where tiare flowers are steeped in coconut oil to soften skin and hair.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Kukui Nut Oil, 0.5 fl oz — the fastest-absorbing oil in the lineup. Nearly weightless, for your face, morning or night.
Tamanu Oil, 0.5 fl oz — thick, deep green, and unrefined. For marks, rough patches, and texture, best at night.
Monoi Oil, 0.5 fl oz — tiare flowers in coconut oil. Silky and softly floral, for body and hair.
HOW TO USE THEM
Kukui in the morning: three or four drops pressed into damp skin, under moisturizer or makeup. Tamanu at night: one or two drops pressed into marks, rough patches, or the whole face. Monoi after a shower or a day in the water: a few drops over damp skin, one or two through the ends of your hair. Monoi turns solid below about 76°F — warm the bottle in your hands and it melts right back.
BEST FOR
Anyone trying face oils for the first time, anyone who spends their days in sun and salt water, and anyone you need a gift for. Good on the bathroom shelf, good in a beach bag, good as a gift.
WHAT'S IN IT
Kukui: Aleurites Moluccanus (Kukui) Seed Oil.
Tamanu: Calophyllum Inophyllum (Tamanu) Seed Oil.
Monoi: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Gardenia Taitensis Flower.
That's the whole list.
Contains tree nut oils and coconut. Patch test before first use. For external use only.
One ingredient
Ximenia seed oil, undiluted. No carrier, no fragrance, no added vitamin E.
Genuinely rare
Ximenynic acid, a long-chain fatty acid found in almost no other plant oil.
Wild-harvested
Hand-gathered from wild trees, under Namibia's benefit-sharing arrangements.
Why you haven't seen it before
There simply isn't much of it.
Most oils on a shelf come from plantations. Ximenia doesn't. There are no ximenia farms, no predictable yield, and no way to scale the harvest beyond what the wild trees give in a given year.
That's the whole reason it stays obscure while argan and marula went global. It isn't a marketing angle — it's a supply constraint, and it's why we bottle it in half ounces rather than pretending otherwise.
Ximenia is oleic-rich, which makes it one of the richer oils we sell. Most people are fine with it, but if your skin runs oily or breaks out easily, a linoleic-rich oil suits better — Kalahari Melon Seed Oil or Prickly Pear.
Faintly nutty, close to almond. That’s the seed itself; nothing is added. It fades within a minute or two on skin.
Ximenia is a fruit-seed oil, not a true tree nut, despite the almond-like smell. It contains no nut, soy, sesame, or coconut. As with any new oil, patch test first.
Yes, and it’s one of the better ones for it. A drop or two through the ends of damp hair, or a few drops massaged into the scalp before you wash.
Skin feels softer the same night. Anything you’d actually see — texture, the look of dryness — takes a few weeks of steady use.
Around 18 to 24 months sealed, about 12 once opened. It’s far steadier than our omega-3-rich oils. Keep it capped and out of direct sun; if it ever smells sharp or crayon-like rather than faintly nutty, it’s past it.
Both. Light enough for the face, rich enough to be worth it on elbows, shins, and hands.
What's in it
Ximenia Americana Seed Oil.
One ingredient, undiluted — the same oil whether you buy it here or in the Namibia Collection. Patch test before first use. Keep away from eyes. For external use only.
