The Introduction of Camellia Seed Oil
Produced from the seeds of the camellia flower which is native to Japan and China, this flowering shrub is packed full of essential vitamins and minerals, and it offers a big boost of antioxidants and fatty acids. Plus, it has a molecular weight similar to sebum which allows it to absorb easily. It’s no wonder it has remained a popular choice since ancient times. There are more than 100 species of camellia, but the primary types utilised for skincare products are japonica, oleifera, and sinensis. Of these three, oleifera is a popular choice due to its more emollient properties. While it has a heavier molecular weight than the other varieties, the pale yellow oil is non-comedogenic meaning it will not clog pores, and it is gentle, lightweight, and versatile. Camellia oleifera contains vitamins like A, B, and E, minerals (including phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium), omega 3, 6, and 9, and can have over 85% oleic acid which makes it a powerful replenishing ingredient. It also offers a lot of beneficial qualities that improve the texture and overall health of both hair and skin.
The Benefits of Camellia Seed Oil
Moisturises and conditions
Camellia seed oil is known for its intensive conditioning properties, and studies show that high levels of fatty acids contribute to supple, smooth, soft complexions. This natural oil works to replenish skin lipids which helps prevent dehydration and irritation and offers a nourishing touch that relieves dryness and promotes a healthy glow.
Helps reduce hyperpigmentation
One of the leading causes of hyperpigmentation is an excess production of melanin. Research highlights the relationship between ingredients like white tea seed oil and discolouration, showing a significant decrease in melanin content when camellia oleifera is introduced. Oleic acid and polyphenols work to inhibit pigmentation, and the plant serves as a natural source of squalene which helps protect and treat symptoms.
Calm Inflammation and Irritation
Another benefit to using antioxidants in skincare is that they frequently have an anti-inflammatory effect. Polyphenols, for example, have noted anti-inflammatory properties and are the main group of antioxidants found in camellia seed oil. To go along with this, certain fatty acids are also beneficial for calming skin inflammation. In fact, some of the same fatty acids in camellia oil have shown anti-inflammatory and wound healing effects in previous studies. So what does this mean for your skin? Small amounts of the oil can be applied to rough or irritated patches of skin to bring relief. Particularly if your skin tends to be on the dry side, using camellia oil daily may also help long-term irritation and inflamed-looking skin.
Hair Conditioner
One area of skin that often gets overlooked is the scalp. Though you may not see it beneath your hair, this part of your skin needs attention too, and can suffer from most common skin ailments. This is where plant-based oils enter
in— especially ones like camellia, which has been used for hair care for thousands of years, particularly in countries like China and Japan. Camellia oil provides a hydrating, soothing boost to both scalp and hair. It can be applied as a deep-conditioning oil treatment or used more sparingly as a leave-in conditioner. Either way, it promotes luster, softness, and shine and may help you to get tangles out more easily.
The Uses of Camellia Seed Oil
Skincare
Traditionally used as a simple facial oil, it can be applied directly to the face for its skin-smoothing and revitalizing benefits, or used daily as a gentle makeup remover and oil cleanser. To make a nightly anti-aging facial oil, pour in 10 tablespoons of Camellia Seed Oil into a glass container, followed by 3 drops of Frankincense Essential Oil, 3 drops of Lavender Essential Oil, and 2 drops of Rose Geranium Essential Oil. Swirl to mix the ingredients together, and cap tightly. Apply onto a clean face and allow the oil to fully absorb before going to sleep.
Hair care
Used as-is on the hair, Camellia Seed Oil functions as a natural leave-in conditioner that tames fly-aways, smooths split ends, and adds a rich glossy sheen. For dry hair, the oil can be used as a pre-wash treatment that helps nourish the strands while avoiding the dryness and brittleness caused by washing and conventional shampooing. To do this, simply section the hair using a comb and massage a dime-sized portion of Camellia Seed Oil onto the scalp, hair strands, and ends. Leave on for at least 15-30 minutes before rinsing off and shampooing and conditioning as usual. Once the hair is dry, a little bit of Camellia Oil can be applied once more to eliminate frizz, help with styling, add shine, and make the hair more manageable.
Use camellia oil on its own or with other ingredients to make a hair mask. Apply to your scalp and hair strands and let it sit at least 15-20 minutes before washing out.
Body oil
Used as a body oil after a shower, Camellia Seed Oil helps lock in moisture and is reputed to help prevent or fade away scarring, uneven tones, stretch marks, and other skin texture issues. It can also be incorporated into firming products and lotions to support the reduction of cellulite, loose skin, and mature skin ailments.
