Description
Organic Camellia Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of Camellia oleifera and has been valued for centuries in East Asian beauty traditions. It's a pale yellow, fluid oil with a neutral scent and a faint hint of hazelnut, and its fine texture sinks in quickly without a greasy feel. It's naturally high in oleic acid and contains squalene.
Camellia oil is prized as a light facial oil, especially for normal, dry and mature skin, and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. It's popular as a finishing oil to tame frizz and add shine to hair, for conditioning dry cuticles, and as a gentle way to lift away makeup before cleansing.
- Light, fast-absorbing and non-greasy
- Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth
- Tames frizz and adds shine to hair
- Neutral scent, easy to blend
