Camellia oil, certified organic

Cold-pressed, organic camellia seed oil, derived from the seeds of Camellia oleifera, has been used for centuries in East Asia, particularly in China and Japan. Often referred to as "tea seed oil," it has long been a staple in traditional beauty routines, prized for its lightweight feel and natural conditioning properties. Historically, it was used by geishas to maintain smooth, lustrous hair and radiant skin, and it remains a popular ingredient in modern skincare and haircare formulations.
