Camellia Oil (4oz)

A nice moisturizing oil that absorbs quickly. As it doesnt have a much of a scent on its own, we cant wait to try this with some essential oils that will provide a light scent. It seems like a very good quality oil.

Smells great. It comes in a nice size bottle. Great product. I havent had any issues with it so far.

This is a bottle of camellia oil. It is very light and silky on the skin. No fragrance that I can detect. For me it is perfect for my neck and décolletage as my skin is very dry. Container arrived completely safety sealed. Long dropper for dispensing. Works great as a carrier oil too.

Im in my 60s and while in my youth I did have oily skin, I dont have that problem now. My skin is dry - all over, but in the morning and before bedtime, when I wash my face, I like to put oil on my face. I have used several types of oils and I can say that this Camellia oil is a nice, light oil to use on my face. It sinks in easily enough and leaves my skin feeling soft and healthy.

I got this camellia oil for helping moisturize dry areas. I would say it is a medium weight oil. Meaning it isnt thick like avocado or olive oil, but it isnt thin like a mineral oil. It applies very well and it does slowly soak into the skin. The scent is neutral in my opinion, so it would be an excellent carrier oil to use with essential oils for making beard oils or such as that.

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.

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.

It absorbs quickly and is not oily. I have dyshidrotic eczema and my hands are not happy at the moment. The camellia oil softened my hands, did not irritate them, and has no scent. It is packaged in a plastic bottle.

Great oil for so many different uses like hair, skin,and nails. I use it for massages and it really hydrates my skin. I highly recommend this oil.

This is a great carrier oil for therapeutic massage, cosmetic body products and face creams. It is great for adding moisture to the skin. Just two-three drops of this oil added to my regular skin care and my skin is super hydrated. It also has been good on my very sensitive skin and has a mild fragrance that is not intrusive. It is silky and non-greasy and a very nice addition to my skin-care routine.
