Camellia oil, certified organic
Cold-pressed, organic camellia seed oil, derived from the seeds of Camellia oleifera, has been used for centuries in East Asia, particularly in China and Japan. Often referred to as "tea seed oil," it has long been a staple in traditional beauty routines, prized for its lightweight feel and natural conditioning properties. Historically, it was used by geishas to maintain smooth, lustrous hair and radiant skin, and it remains a popular ingredient in modern skincare and haircare formulations.

Versatile and well-suited to multiple applications: Commonly found in facial oils, moisturisers, and cleansing balms.
Haircare Uses
Nourishing yet lightweight: Helps condition the hair without weighing it down, making it suitable for fine to thick hair types.
Smooths and softens strands: Frequently used in hair oils and leave-in treatments for a silky finish.
A popular choice for scalp care: Blends well with other plant oils in scalp massage treatments to promote a well-conditioned feel.
