What is camellia oil?
Camellia is a tea bush plant originating in Japan and southwest Asia.

This oil is used not only for hair care, but also for skin and even nails.
Property of camellia oil
The oil extracted from the camellia is rich in vitamins A, B, D, E, phosphorus, zinc, calcium and fatty acids. In addition, it is enriched with polyphenols, known for restoring the skin, and contains a high amount of oleic acid, which helps retain moisture, moisturizing much more. It also has omega-6 fatty acid, myristic acid and phytoescualene.
What is it for and what are the benefits of camellia oil in hair?
In addition to regenerating the hair and smoothing the hair cuticle, camellia oil is also capable of deeply hydrating and nourishing, not only the hair, but also the scalp. For this reason, it is associated with products that guarantee much brighter locks.

Who can use it and what types of hair does it serve?
As it is highly moisturizing, nourishing and does not yet weigh on the hair, it can be used on all types of hair, but it is especially interesting for straight hair, as we said earlier. This is because vegetable oils are usually associated with curly and curly hair, which need more of this type of treatment.

For this reason, many straight hairs shy away from oil treatments, although it is an important care for all types of hair. In the case of camellia oil, as it is quickly absorbed, it does not leave hair oily or heavy, so it is one of the most suitable oils for women with straight hair. No wonder it’s so used in Japan, right !?
