Frequently asked questions
What is organic camellia japonica oil?
Also known as tsubaki oil, it is the organic grade of the fixed oil expressed from the seeds of Camellia japonica (INCI: Camellia Japonica Seed Oil). It is 100% pure, with no solvents or preservatives used, and of Chinese origin.
What is camellia oil used for?
It is a light, silky, fast-absorbing emollient, long prized in Japanese hair care for smoothing and shine. Formulators use it in hair oils, face and cleansing oils, creams and nail and cuticle care.
How does it differ from the other camellia oils?
Japonica (tsubaki), oleifera and sinensis oils come from different camellia species but are similar light, oleic-rich oils. This organic japonica grade suits organic ranges; it is also suitable for food use, subject to the usual formulation considerations.
