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 called “tea seed” oil) is native to Japan and used historically 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 hidden beauty secret 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 like 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 and won’t clog your pores. So, you can use it underneath makeup during the day and when you sleep at night. Dab a few drops on your face and massage well into the skin. You can also use camellia oil as a hair mask for strong, shiny locks by applying some of the oil from root to tip about an hour before washing your hair overnight; if you’re leaving the oil on overnight, shampoo thoroughly in the morning.
