Botanical Name: Camellia Oleifera is a plant species that is commonly known as Tea-oil Camellia or Oil-seed Camellia.
 
Aromatic Description: Camellia Oil Is the Centuries-Old Secret to Ageless Skin. Camellia oil, also known as “tea seed” oil, is native to Japan and has been historically used for skin and hair care. The oil is extracted from the camellia or Tsubaki flower in Japan. Coco Chanel was a huge fan of the camellia flower and used it in many designs, symbolizing longevity, purity, love, adoration, and longing.
It is also said that camellia oil was the secret to the hidden beauty of the ageless Geishas in Japanese culture. The Geishas might have revered that camellia oil because it’s rich in essential vitamins and minerals, oleic acid (also found in olive oil), and omega-9 fats, all of which benefit the skin, hair and nail health. Camellia oil is also an excellent emollient, making it a nourishing moisturizer for dry or damaged hair and skin. Camellia oil is also a natural source of antioxidants and vitamins, including vitamins A and B. The antioxidant composition of the oil is probably the most notable reason for its anti-ageing abilities, as this helps to improve skin elasticity, nourish skin cells, and prevent the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. The best part about using camellia oil is that it’s a light oil that provides your skin with the right amount of moisture without clogging your pores. You can use it underneath makeup during the day and at night while you sleep. Dab a few drops on your face and massage well into the skin. You can also use camellia oil as a hair mask to achieve strong, shiny locks by applying a small amount of the oil from root to tip approximately an hour before washing your hair. Then, leave it on overnight and shampoo thoroughly in the morning.
