Product Overview

Our Camellia Seed Oil – Organic is also known as Tea Seed Oil and is noted for its exceptional moisturizing, conditioning, and antioxidant benefits for skin, hair, and nails. Remarkably high in monounsaturated Oleic acid – around 80% - this lightweight premium carrier oil helps support the skin’s own protective barrier against environmental impurities. Nourishing polyphenols and vitamins A and E add to its antioxidant properties while its naturally occurring squalene content hydrates and softens. Camellia Seed Oil should not be confused with the closely-named Camelina Seed Oil.

Considered a ‘dry oil,’ tannins in the seeds lend the oil lightly astringent qualities that are beneficial for overactive and oily skin without feeling heavy or clogging pores.[1] These same qualities help mature and dry skin retain moisture and elasticity, especially during cold and dry winter months.

Camellia Seed Oil can be applied directly to the skin or added to cosmetics for after-sun care, lip care, masks, creams, body oils, cuticle and nail conditioners, facial serums for all skin types, and products for dry scalp and hair. It is particularly indicated for formulas that help improve the appearance of imperfections and sun-exposed skin, or for adding a glossy luster to dry hair and nails. It is also a popular addition to soaps.

Part of the Tea family, the evergreen, flowering Camellia bush originated in China and has also been cultivated in Japan for thousands of years. Introduced into the US in the late 1700s, it is now a common ornamental garden favorite. After blossoming through winter and spring, the fragrant white flowers turn into nuts that are harvested in the early fall and are pressed for their oil. Our Camellia Seed Oil - Organic comes from China where the organically grown fresh seeds are carefully removed and cold pressed to obtain the oil which is then filtered and refined for purity.

Traditionally used by the Samurai in Japan, Camellia Seed Oil has been continuously employed for centuries by woodworkers, chefs, and metal crafters to protect their metal blades from rust, corrosion and discoloration, attesting its superior antioxidant properties and multitude of uses.
