CAMELLIA CHEKIANGOLEOSA SEED OIL

Description

Camellia chekiangoleosa seed oil is a potent natural ingredient derived from the seeds of the Camellia chekiangoleosa plant, native to eastern China. This lightweight, non-comedogenic oil is rich in oleic acid, linoleic acid, and vitamin E, making it an excellent emollient and antioxidant for both skin and hair care applications.

In skincare, Camellia chekiangoleosa seed oil helps to improve skin barrier function, reduce trans-epidermal water loss, and promote a smoother, more supple complexion. Its high oleic acid content allows for deep penetration into the skin, providing long-lasting hydration without leaving a greasy residue. The oil's antioxidant properties help protect against free radical damage and environmental stressors, potentially slowing the visible signs of aging.

For haircare, this oil can help nourish and strengthen hair strands, reduce frizz, and add shine. It forms a protective layer around the hair shaft, preventing moisture loss and protecting against heat damage. Camellia chekiangoleosa seed oil is particularly beneficial for dry, damaged, or color-treated hair, helping to restore softness and manageability.
