Camellia Seed Oil

The oil pressed from the seeds of the Camellia oleifera, a wildflower that grows in China and Japan, where it has been used for centuries in skin and hair care.

Yellow liquid.

Thin and smooth.

Slight oily scent, nothing too noticeable.

Fast; leaves the skin feeling wonderfully satiny.

Oil

It absorbs into the skin quickly, and helps speed up the overall absorption speed of recipes. It’s also lovely for hair.

No, but it’s a nice luxury oil.

I’ve only ever used refined, and I like it.

Fast absorbency speed, rich in antioxidants.

A bit pricey.

Other fast-absorbing carrier oils can work; think grapeseed, safflower, marula, and macadamia nut.

I love it in hair products and facial serums.

Stored somewhere cool, dark, and dry, Camellia Seed Oil should last at least two years.

Try spreading two or three drops of camellia seed oil over your hands and running them through the length of your hair to smooth and moisturize it.
