This highly nutritious oil (Camellia Oleifera, Refined) has multiple benefits for skin and hair care products.

With its straightforward use and suitability for all skin applications, it is a particularly useful ingredient in face creams and hair care products, where it is valued in formulations for blemish-prone skin and conditioning hair care.
