Product Description
Camellia Oil (Sinensis), Refined is a highly nutritive oil also known as tea seed oil, with excellent benefits for skin and hair care. This oil has impressive penetrating properties that allows for the delivery of compounds such as oleic acid, Omegas 3/6/9, Vitamin E, and polyphenols into the skin and hair roots. Its ease of use and wide-applicability, especially in facial creams and hair products, makes this oil desirable for formulations aimed at blemish-prone skin and conditioning hair care.

Frequently asked questions
What is Camellia Sinensis seed oil?
It is the oil pressed from the seeds of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis (INCI: Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil), then refined, of Chinese origin. It comes from the same plant as green and black tea, but is a light, mild-smelling carrier oil rather than a tea extract.
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 1kg up to a 5kg pack, all priced online.
