Camellia seed oil is pressed from Camellia oleifera. INCI: Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil. It is a light plant oil, rich in oleic acid and natural antioxidants, similar in composition to olive oil. In a formula it works as an emollient and barrier-support component: it softens skin, reduces water loss, and absorbs quickly without a heavy film. It suits normal and dry skin and hair care. Its standalone clinical effect is modest; the main role is emollient. Pregnancy safety. Topical use is systemically negligible, with no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for dry and sensitive skin.
