Description

Camellia Oil Refined, botanical name Camellia Oleifera. Camellia oil is extracted from the seeds of organically farmed camellia Japonica trees, it is 100% pure cold pressed oil. It grows mostly in Asia and has been used to nourish and condition the skin, hair and nails.

Camellia oil is high in oleic acid (oleic up to 80 % and linoleic acid 9 %) and rich in Vitamins A, B, and E, which provide antioxidant, disinfectant and germicidal properties. Camellia oil works well and is mild on the skin because a major component of camellia oil is oleic acid triglycerides, which is the same as a person's natural sebum. Natural camellia oil is the most suitable replacement for sebum to care for your skin. With these properties, Camellia oil is an excellent oil to add to your shampoos, lotions, conditioners, scalp treatments and after sun skin care products for dry, damaged and delicate skin and hair.

Camellia oil is suitable for the maintenance of your hair and skin, and has been popular to make hair soft and shiny. This non-drying oil keeps in an optimum moisture level. It protects your hair and skin from drying for a longer period of time, especially in the cold winter months. This product can be kept at hand for daily use to replenish the oils lost from the skin.

Effect on Skin For care of dry skin, rough skin and sun-burnt skin, this oil replenishes the same natural nutrients of the sebum and makes the skin smooth. It increases the metabolism of the skin and supplies moisture, increasing firmness, so the skin remains both beautiful and youthful. It blocks ultraviolet rays and combats blotches and freckles. Also, for skin care after shaving, it is perfect as an after-shave lotion.

A moisture barrier prevents the penetration of the weather and toxic substances and acts to neutralize acid and alkali. The outermost skin layers usually retain 10% to 20% of this moisture barrier. Gradually, this retained moisture has an emollient effect, lending an antiseptic action, inhibiting evaporation, and so on. The amount of sebum retained in the skin reaches a peak when a person is twenty years old on average and then decreases. After the age of twenty the skin can rapidly become dry, and it is less easy to regulate its natural oil and moisture content.

This means, "to soften the skin." Camellia oil works quite effectively. If you apply it to your heel, you will experience the softening attributes of the oil.

This oil supplies the right type of oil where it is needed. It works well on skin that has less natural oil such as rough or dry skin. Also, if men use this oil after shaving, the oil will condition the skin and its antiseptic effect will help prevent razor burn.

Effect on Hair Camellia oil supplies nutrients to the scalp and gently protects hair using natural ingredients that do not easily oxidize or deteriorate.
