For skin: Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil is a powerful emollient and moisturizer that softens the skin and prevents water loss. Moreover, it repairs the skin’s barrier and boosts elasticity, making it especially useful for dry, mature, or sensitive skin.

It penetrates the hair shafts and improves smoothness and elasticity without being heavy or greasy. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties make it soothing for a dry, flaky, or irritated scalp.
Origin
Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil comes from the seeds of the Camellia oleifera plant - native to China, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. The seeds are first cleaned and air dried to reduce moisture content. They are then mechanically cold pressed without any heat to preserve the resulting oil’s nutrients. The raw golden-yellow Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil is then filtered to remove any solids.
