Tea Seed Oil (Camellia Oil) is a premium carrier oil cold-pressed from the seeds of Camellia sinensis or Camellia oleifera, presenting as a pale yellow to golden yellow oily liquid. Widely used in Japanese and Chinese traditional beauty rituals for centuries — particularly for hair care — Tea Seed Oil is extraordinarily rich in oleic acid (up to 85%), giving it a fatty acid profile strikingly similar to olive oil but with a lighter texture, superior skin feel, and greater oxidative stability. It also contains unique catechin polyphenols derived from the camellia plant, adding antioxidant skin-protective properties.
In Japan, Camellia Oil (Tsubaki Oil) is the traditional hair oil of geisha and samurai, revered for its ability to impart exceptional shine, smoothness, and strength to hair without weighing it down.
