Edens Garden Camellia Seed oil, also known as tea seed oil or tea oil, is extracted from the seeds of the Camellia oleifera or Camellia sinensis plant. Camellia Seed is lightweight and non-comedogenic meaning it does not clog pores. As a lightweight carrier oil, it is perfect for those with oily and acne-prone skin to help regulate sebum production, making it beneficial for acne-prone skin. Camellia seed oil is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly oleic acid, which helps to replenish and lock in moisture, leaving the skin soft, smooth, and supple without causing dryness.
It has a wide range of advantages. Easily absorbed by the skin, it provides deep hydration and nourishment without leaving a greasy residue. It offers antioxidant protection and helps the skin from free radical damage and premature aging and is perfect for skin, hair, and nail formulations. With its softening and restoring capabilities, Camellia Seed oil can be the perfect ally in supporting supple, healthy skin. Some even call it 'silk in a bottle.
Explore Camellia Seed oil in your daily routine by applying it directly on rough, dry skin patches of the face and body as often as needed to protect against free radical damage. Use Camellia Seed oil after washing and cleansing the face and skin as a moisturizer. It can also be used under sunscreen and makeup and even on the lips. For hair, apply a small amount of Camellia Seed oil with your fingertips or a wooden comb to soften tough knotted areas and make it easier to untangle.
