Unrefined and organic oil. Camellia oil has remarkable moisturizing properties and it is one of the lightest plant seed oils. With delicate flavor, it absorbs rapidly into the skin, making it silky soft and hydrated, without leaving fat residues as normally occurs with other oils.

Camellia oleifera

This very precious oil has been recognized for centuries in Eastern Asia for its highly restorative and rejuvenating effect on skin. Today, this time-proven oil is used in some of the most distinguished beauty formulas.
Camellia seed oil comes from the plant Camellia oleifera that grows in the mountains of South Eastern Asia. Camellia Sinensis, another well-known variety, is a tea plant and the source of Black and Green Tea. The seeds of the Camellia plant are harvested and the oil is extracted with an oil press. The extracted oil has a light, yet lively aroma.
Camellia oil has an outstanding moisture retaining ability and is one of the most rapidly absorbed plant oils. The unique make-up of the oil allows it to penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin; much like water, leaving it smooth and supple. The non-drying and non-clogging oil is very rich in mono-saturated essential fatty acids. It is particularly high in oleic acid that exceeds the level of olive oil. Camellia oil contains vitamins, A, B, and E and various minerals, P, Zn, Ca, Fe, Mn, and Mg. Furthermore, camellia oil possesses a unique active constituent known as Squalene which is also an important component of the skin’s natural emollient system. A deficiency of squalene can result in dry skin and premature aging, resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin.
Camellia oil is an excellent emollient and wonderful moisturizer. Furthermore, it helps to restore proper pH balance and has a buffering quality that acts as an effective shield to protect skin from penetration of environmental pollutants. Camellia Oil protects skin from drying out while replenishing vital nutrients. It smoothes rough and flaky skin, soothes and calms easily irritated skin, and blocks out ultra violet rays. Used regularly, pure unrefined camellia oil will help to maintain and restore harmony, protect from age–spots & increased pigmentation. It will also prevent forming of stretch marks during pregnancy. Used around the eyes and mouth, it softens wrinkles and tiny maturity lines. For men, Camellia Seed Oil makes a wonderful skin soother after shaving. Applied regularly it will keep the skin conditioned and will aid in preventing shaving burns.
Since the oil consists mainly of olein, it is not subject to polymerize or oxidize, nor does it form solids at low temperatures (unless mixed with other oils).
