What It Does

Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil, also known as tea seed oil, is a luxurious oil extracted from the seeds of the Camellia oleifera plant, which has been cultivated in China for over 2,000 years. Rich in oleic acid (75-85%), squalene, and polyphenols, it offers exceptional skin absorption without greasiness, making it particularly valued in Asian beauty formulations for its ability to deeply nourish while maintaining a silky, non-occlusive feel. Formulators choose this oil for its remarkable oxidative stability, high levels of natural antioxidants including Vitamin E, and its traditional reputation as a premium skincare ingredient that enhances skin elasticity and provides long-lasting moisturization.
