We Explain Everything in This Post ### Copra: A Polynesian Treasure with Many Facets In the realm of French Polynesia's natural treasures, copra holds a special place. Derived from the drying of coconut meat, copra is far more than a simple raw material; it's the beating heart of an island economy and the source of countless by-products that delight with both their utility and beauty. #### From Food to Cosmetics: The Many Lives of Copra Copra is primarily known for its oil, extracted and used in a variety of fields. In cooking, copra oil enhances dishes with its delicate flavour. In cosmetics, it's prized for its moisturising and restorative properties, found in skincare, haircare, as well as in soaps and sunscreens. #### Green Energy and Eco-construction: Copra Reinvents Itself But copra doesn't stop there. As a fuel, it aids in producing renewable energy, thus contributing to environmental preservation. In eco-construction, coconut fibre, a by-product of copra, is used to create ecological and sustainable building materials. #### Copra in the Art of Jewellery: Innovation and Tradition at Poemotu In this vein of innovation, **Poemotu**, our jewellery brand, draws inspiration to create [**unique pieces**](https://www.poemotu.com/perles-de-tahiti/fr/bijoux-en-nacre/5437-tohora-queue-de-baleine-copra.html) that blend tradition with modernity.
