Traditional Uses of Camellia Oil or Tea Seed Oil
(Camellia oleifera)

Tea seed oil contains 80% mono-unsaturated oleic acid and vitamin E, which resembles olive oil and grape seed oil in its excellent storage qualities and low content of saturated fat.
With its high smoke point (485°F), for thousands of years camellia oil has been the main cooking oil in southern part of China.
In Japan, Korea and China camellia oil is used extensively for making skin care products due to its excellent moisturizing and anti-wrinkle/scarring properties, as well as in hair care products to enhance shine and manageability of the hair.

Modern Research - Camellia Oil or Tea Seed Oil (Camellia oleifera)

Composed mainly of oleic acid (almost 82%, the highest among all natural oils), camellia oil is the most penetrative of all natural oils, capable of permeating deeply into the lower layers of the skin to greatly enhance the beneficial effects of our natural collagen and elastin.
Oleic acid is known as an excellent transdermal carrier of cell rebuilding nutrients and bioactive compounds into the skin to repair the damage caused by dryness, sun exposure and other factors. The result is restoration of the skin's elasticity, significant improvement in skin texture as well as elimination or remarkable reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.

Camellia oil provides the skin with the necessary essential fatty substances which are critical in the retention and enhancement of skin moisture. A lack of these fatty substances will impair the skin's ability to retain moisture. The composition of camellia oil is very similar to that of the fatty acids of human skin. As a result, it can be easily and effectively absorbed into the skin to work in synergy with the skin's own natural system to replenish skin lipids and accelerate skin rejuvenation.
