Scientific Name: Camellia japonica seed oil
Certified Cosmos Organic
100% natural and pure, unrefined and cold-pressed from the seeds.
Japanese Camellia oil, also known as Tsubaki oil, is derived from the seeds of the camellia japonica flower. It is a treasured beauty secret among the Japanese for its moisturizing and anti-aging effects on the hair, face, and body. It is non-comedogenic (does not clog pores), and its high content of oleic acid (omega-9 fatty acids) helps retain moisture, heals damage, and produces a protective barrier against pollutants and external aggressors. Tsubaki oil is also supercharged with antioxidants like vitamins A, D, C, and E, which help reduce oxidative stress on the skin and accelerate skin cell regeneration, healing dry and mature skin.
