Camellia Japonica Seed Oil
Camellia Japonica Seed Oil is a lightweight, nourishing oil extracted from the seeds of the Japanese camellia flower. Popular in K-beauty and clean skincare, it is prized for its ability to moisturise without feeling greasy and for leaving skin soft and radiant.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil functions as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. Its high content of oleic acid and natural antioxidants allows it to penetrate the skin easily, helping to reinforce the skin barrier, lock in moisture and protect against environmental stressors while imparting a silky, non-comedogenic finish.

Where it comes from
Camellia Japonica Seed Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the Camellia japonica plant, an evergreen shrub native to Japan, Korea and parts of China. The oil is derived purely from the plant’s seeds rather than the flowers.
