Description
Organic Camellia Oil (Camellia oleifera), also known as green tea seed oil, has a long tradition in Asian beauty rituals, valued for a rare combination: a non-greasy texture, rapid absorption, and a high content of oleic acid, vitamin E, and squalane. It is suitable for all skin types, but especially for mature, devitalized skin or for fine care around the eye area.
The natural squalane content, a component structurally similar to the lipids of human sebum, explains its excellent affinity with the skin and its rapid absorption without a film. It contains phenolic acids (such as gallic acid) and fat-soluble plant antioxidants that soothe inflammation and combat photoaging. Camellia oil is an elegant ingredient, suitable for face, body, and hair products alike.

Usage & Synergies
Face care
Camellia oil works well on all skin types, being particularly valued for mature skin lacking elasticity or with an uneven texture. Its fine, non-greasy texture makes it suitable for the eye area or for a daytime routine as well.
Practical recommendations
- Daily face oil: Apply 2-3 drops onto clean skin, morning or evening. Rapid absorption allows for makeup application immediately after.
- Ingredient in eye cream: Incorporate at 10-40% into a cream for the periocular area. Its fine texture and hypoallergenic properties recommend it for the sensitive skin around the eyes.
- Ingredient in anti-aging serum: Use as a base for a serum, alongside actives that support the skin barrier and elasticity.
Synergies in face care
For a serum intended for mature skin, the synergy with Organic Pomegranate Oil and Coenzyme Q10 supports skin tone and firmness. As an ingredient for a non-greasy day cream, the association with Triheptanoin and Dragon's Blood Extract offers a fine texture and antioxidant protection. On blemish-prone skin, combining it with Black Cumin Oil provides a balancing and slightly purifying effect.
Body care
At the body level, Camellia oil is a good choice for non-greasy body oils and products for skin regularly exposed to harsh weather conditions. Its lightweight texture makes it suitable for daily application without leaving an oily sensation on the skin or clothes.
Practical recommendations
- Light body oil: Apply pure or combined with Coco-silicone onto damp skin after showering for a fine hydration, without a persistent greasy feeling.
- Ingredient in after-sun products: Incorporate into formulas intended for skin exposed to the sun or wind.
Synergies in body care
For a non-greasy body oil with a protective effect, the synergy with Coco-silicone, Phyto-Silicone, or Dicaprylyl Carbonate offers a satin-dry texture, suitable for daily application.
Hair care
On hair, Camellia oil is recommended for fine or normal hair that needs shine without being weighed down, as well as for fragile nails.
Practical recommendations
- Shine serum for ends: Apply a small amount to dry or damp ends for shine without a weighing-down effect.
- Nail care: Apply a drop onto each cuticle in the evening to fortify fragile nails.
Synergies in hair care
As a lightweight shine serum for fine hair, the synergy with Phyto-Silicone offers a light, non-greasy texture. For fragile nails, the association with Borage Oil and Lime Essential Oil completes the fortification.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Camellia oil is considered hypoallergenic and very well tolerated, including by babies' skin.
What is the difference between Camellia Oleifera and Camellia Japonica (Tsubaki)?
Both are excellent, but they come from different species. C. Japonica (Tsubaki) is rarer and traditionally Japanese, while C. Oleifera (Tea Seed Oil) is more widespread in China. Their fatty acid profile is very similar, offering comparable nourishing and emollient benefits.
Can it be used as a facial massage oil?
Yes, its fine texture and rapid absorption make it suitable for facial massage without leaving a visible greasy sensation immediately after application.

A precious oil and much used in many recipes. From skin beautifying oils to sunscreen oils, I have used it in many combinations.
I use it for my very sensitive facial skin. It is quickly absorbed, moisturizes and nourishes well. It is a rather light oil and very pleasant. It can be mixed with other oils.
also suitable for hair conditioning and hair damage prevention products finds application in the formulation of cosmetic products that include anti-aging, restorative, rejuvenating, soothing and protective properties
I am on my second purchase of this oil, and I include it as much as I can in the cosmetic recipes I prepare.
I have used it to formulate a hair shampoo and a hand cream and indeed you can see the effects immediately in the sense that the skin remains velvety and moisturized and the hair has a natural shine.
I included it in a serum for pigmentation spots. I like the texture, looking forward to seeing the results! The important is perseverance!
As it absorbs very easily, it results in velvety soft and smooth skin. I use it in various skincare products.
I ordered it for the first time recently and used it in a CC cream recipe instead of the oil I usually use. Considering I've only been using it for a few days, I find the brightening and smoothing effect impressive. I recommend.
I use it in the evening and I love how quickly it absorbs and the skin stays very velvety soft after application.
I use it to make a mask of several oils for hair, I also use it for skin massage.
Smoothes the skin and eliminates small imperfections Cleanses the skin of impurities, acting like a cleanser Deeply moisturizes the skin and restores its pH level Reduces fine wrinkles and prevents new ones Helps scars heal faster, especially those caused by acne Prevents the appearance of pimples Protects the skin from UV rays Prevents the formation of stretch marks and fades existing ones Reduces dark circles and bags under the eyes.
Perfect for skin, hair and nail care or as an ingredient for the preparation of cosmetics.
I used Camellia oil for the first time and was pleasantly impressed with how it went into my skin and how the skin felt to the touch after using the oil.
Truly an elixir in itself, used on its own, it quickly penetrates the skin, catifies, immediately improves skin tone on the face, hands or even bust. I am going to use it in various combinations.
I use it in my face cream,cream, which I apply both in the morning and during the day, if needed.In the evening I apply it in combination with other oils.I am very satisfied.
I love this oil and so do my friends. It helps the complexion restore its youthful glow. The lush oil deserves its praise!
Used in face serums it absorbs easily, leaves the skin velvety soft and I'm waiting to see the long term effects :) I also included it in a serum for healthier nails.
It is a moisturizing, toning oil and absorbs quickly. About 2 years ago I started making my own face creams by carefully following the recipes posted on this site. now I use it successfully to make day creams.
This oil has so many benefits; anti-aging, antioxidant properties...very useful for weakened hair. Recommend!
From the first use I was very pleased with this oil. It's light, doesn't weigh down the complexion, leaves the most velvety skin and gives that healthy glowing complexion. I have normal to combination skin, with a slight acne tendency and so far I have had no negative reaction to this oil. I've also used it for hair, in combination with argan oil, which is a bit denser, before washing, for deep conditioning and leaves hair silky.
