Camellia Oil (4oz)

Too me this is similar to jojoba oil. It can be used as a carrier oil (a base for adding essential oils that are too strong to be used without dilution) and also as a moistuing oil to apply directly to the skin or hiar or to me mixed in with a light moistuizer to add extra moisturizing effect. I did not notice any scent and it sinks in quickly when used sparingly.

The camellia oil if non-fragrant. It could be used as the base oil and apply your favorite essential oil. Feels great on skin and keeps your face moisturized. Not sticky or too heavy on skin.

Camellia oil is great for your skin, hair and nails. Use it as a moisturizer it can help soften wrinkles. It can help improve you complexion and heal scars. There is no scent and it absorbs quickly into your skin without leaving a sticky or oily residue.

Camellia Oil (4oz) Camelia oil is the main ingredient in a lot of really expensive skin care lines - especially those from Japan. I have been using it for years now. I have super dry and sensitive skin and I usually add a drop or two of this oil to my regular creams and lotions to give them a boost which helps with my skin. The oil isnt greasy and soaks in really quickly and it can be used just by itself. There is no scent to this oil but the results I have had using it are worth the effort to seek this out. It is right in the middle between sweet almond oil and jojoba - if you really want to treat your skin you can use all three at once for super hydration.

First things first, its important to distinguish this oil as tea-seed oil extracted from the seed of the tea-oil camellia (Camellia oleifera) and NOT tsubaki oil extracted from the seed of the Japanese camellia (Camellia japonica). Although they are related, and both are extracted from the seeds of their respective plants, they are not the same. You have to be clear about what youre getting. They are both relatives of Camellia sinensis, the plant that it cultivated for tea leaves; and all of them have antioxidant properties in their products. Cold-pressed means that no heat is used in the extraction of the oil, and is favorable because it retains more of its antioxidant properties. Tsubaki oil/Dongbaek oil/Camellia japonica seed oil is the oil traditionally used by Japanese geisha for their hair, and the oil used to maintain and protect knives and blades from surface oxidation and corrosion. Its found in many high-end cosmetic products. Tea-seed oil/Camellia oleifera oil is more well-known, and used in a wider variety of applications, mainly as a cooking oil in China, where it is traditionally believed to benefit the digestive system, strengthen the immune system, and manage cholesterol. It also more well-studied by modern science, as you can look it up in the articles dedicated to it in the National Institutes of Health. In comparison, I could not find articles mentioning Camellia japonica tsubaki seed oil. Camellia oleifera tea-seed oil is rich in oleic acids, similar to olive oil. Some of its traditional benefits seem to be supported by modern scientific findings using animal models; where animal subjects demonstrated MEASURABLE gastrointestinal recovery and fat reduction. ALL THAT SAID, Camellia oleifera tea-seed oil seems to be a product more well-suited to ingestion rather than topical application. HOWEVER, this product is cosmetic-grade, and marketed as a cosmetic product, not a food. Paulas Choice, another well-known cosmetic brand, uses Camellia oleifera seed oil in several of their products. Eastern traditional medicine also promotes the use of tea-seed oil as baby oil as well as in burn injuries. (I only found one quote on this, amongst the many pages of websites I sifted through.) Using this oil in its intended cosmetic application, I find that it is very lightweight. It was absorbed within a couple of minutes, and that was a pleasant surprise. Ive used several other brands of cosmetic oils, including The Ordinary Hemi-Squalene, Q+A Super Greens, and Bio-Oil Skincare oil. If I had to rank them in the order of speed of absorption from fastest to slowest, it would be #1 The Ordinary Hemi-squalene #2 LISSE Camellia oil #3 Q+A Super Greens #4 Bio-Oil Skincare oil This tea-seed oil has no fragrance or scent, and seems to be an excellent carrier when blending oils. I do this for my hair oil. I usually use grapeseed oil as a carrier for the essential oils, but I just tried it using this tea-seed oil, and it feels better absorbed and much less greasy than when using grapeseed oil. All in all, though not the top choice as a cosmetic oil, this is a great alternative and its active ingredients are well-known to modern science.

You should use camellia oil on your skin, hair, and nails. Utilize it as a moisturizer to aid in the reduction of wrinkles. It can make your skin look better and repair scars. It immediately dissolves into your skin without leaving a greasy or sticky residue, has no scent, and has no scent.
