Description
Camellia oil is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins:
- Oleic acid (omega-9) – makes up up to 80% of the composition, provides intense hydration and strengthens the skin’s protective barrier.
- Linoleic acid (omega-6) – helps in skin regeneration and sebum regulation.
- Palmitic acid – naturally present in the skin, strengthens its elasticity.
- Squalane – a natural emollient that protects the skin from drying out.
- Vitamins A, B, C, D and E – powerful antioxidants that help protect the skin from free radicals.
- Phytosterols – help restore the lipid barrier of the skin.
Benefits of camellia oil for skin
- Deep hydration – Thanks to its high oleic acid content, camellia oil penetrates deep into the skin and helps retain moisture. It is ideal for dry, sensitive and mature skin.
- Anti-aging effect – The high content of antioxidants and vitamin E neutralizes free radicals, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, improves skin elasticity and makes it smooth and supple.
- Strengthening the skin barrier – The oil restores the skin’s natural hydrolipidic layer, protecting it from external influences and preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
- Alleviating redness and irritation – Thanks to its soothing effects, camellia oil is excellent for sensitive and reactive skin, prone to irritation, redness and eczema.
- Non-clogging and lightweight – Although rich in nutrients, camellia oil has a low comedogenic index (does not clog pores), making it suitable for both combination and oily skin.
Benefits of camellia oil for hair
- Deep scalp care – Helps soothe dry and irritated scalp, hydrates and promotes healthy hair growth.
- Strengthens and protects hair – Creates a protective layer on the hair, reduces breakage and protects hair from external aggressors such as UV rays and heat appliances.
- Natural shine and softness – Thanks to its light texture, it absorbs quickly, smoothes hair and gives it a natural, healthy shine.
- Reduction of split ends – Helps repair damaged hair, making it more elastic and resistant to breakage.
