Product Description
Camellia oil (Japonica), Refined is noted for its nutritive properties. It is ideal for use in skin and hair care products. Skin and hair will absorb it readily, resulting in a host of benefits, such as a high oleic acid content, plus Omega 3, 6, and 9 and Vitamin E and polyphenols. Easy to work with, Camellia oil is suitable for any type of skin application, but especially face creams and hair care products, including formulations for blemish-prone skin and conditioning hair care.

Frequently asked questions
What is Camellia Japonica oil?
Also known as tsubaki oil, it is expressed from the seeds of Camellia japonica (INCI: Camellia Japonica Seed Oil) and refined, of Chinese origin. It has long been used as a traditional Japanese hair and skin oil, prized for its light, glossy, non-greasy feel.
How do the camellia oils differ?
All are light, refined seed oils from Chinese camellia species. Oleifera (tea seed oil) is the classic all-rounder, Japonica is the traditional tsubaki hair oil, Sinensis comes from the tea plant itself, and Kissi is a lesser-known species with a similar light, silky feel.
Can it be used in food?
Yes, it is suitable for food use, subject to the usual formulation considerations, as well as for cosmetics.
What pack sizes are available?
From 500ml up to 25kg, all priced online. For regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote.
