Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil

What is Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil?

Tea seed oil is like the highly accomplished sibling of olive oil—sharing many benefits but with a lighter touch and even more antioxidants. Pressed from the seeds of tea plants (related to but different from the leaves used for drinking tea), this oil has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Imagine a lightweight veil of protection that delivers polyphenols and vitamins directly to your skin barrier. It's the skincare equivalent of a green tea ceremony—calming inflammation while providing purifying benefits. For combination and acne-prone skin types afraid of facial oils, tea seed oil offers that perfect balance of nourishment without heaviness, helping to regulate sebum production rather than adding to it.
