Fights free radicals

Free radicals can lead to sagging skin, wrinkles, and dark spots. Antioxidants are known for their ability to reduce cell and DNA damage caused by normal biological functions and exposure to environmental stressors like UV rays, cigarette smoke, industrial chemicals, and air pollution. Camellia seed oil may offer protection from these environmental factors and reduce the effects of premature ageing.

Moisturises and conditions

Camellia seed oil is known for its intensive conditioning properties, and studies show that high levels of fatty acids contribute to supple, smooth, soft complexions. This natural oil works to replenish skin lipids which helps prevent dehydration and irritation and offers a nourishing touch that relieves dryness and promotes a healthy glow.

Helps reduce hyperpigmentation

One of the leading causes of hyperpigmentation is an excess production of melanin. Research highlights the relationship between ingredients like white tea seed oil and discolouration, showing a significant decrease in melanin content when camellia oleifera is introduced. Oleic acid and polyphenols work to inhibit pigmentation, and the plant serves as a natural source of squalene which helps protect and treat symptoms.

Revitalises and restores

Camellia seed oil contains vitamins that stimulate collagen production and help tackle fine lines and wrinkles. Camellia oil also holds anti-inflammatory and mildly astringent qualities meaning it has the potential for fighting acne and soothing redness.
