What is Camellia Seed Oil?

Camellia Seed oil is a powerful cosmetic and essential oil that is used to replenish the skin, scalp, hair, and body. Also referred to as tea seed oil or Tsubaki oil, it is considered the secret to the ageless beauty that Japanese people seem to have.

The Tsubaki oil is rich in antioxidants and is incredibly nourishing in properties. This is the oil that is used by many geishas to achieve their youthful and vibrant skin, nails, hair, and body. This oil is popular for its anti-aging nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Linoleic Acids, and Squalene.

The famous designer Coco Chanel swore by the effectiveness of the oil. Consequently, the Camellia Seed oil became a luxurious cosmetic oil. It is known for its lightweight, golden-yellow, and faintly aromatic properties. The Tsubaki oil is velvety to the touch, and it sinks beautifully into the skin without leaving an oil-like trace.

Where Does Camellia Seed Oil Come From?

East Asian people historically use the Camellia Seed oil. This smooth and velvety oil extraction is done from the seeds of the Tsubaki flower, also known as the Camellia flower. The biological name of this flower is Camellia oleifera.  
Exclusively in Japan, there are about 200 species of the Camellia genus.

These species include Camellia japonica used for culinary and decorative purposes, Camellia sinensis used for tea production, and Camellia oleifera used for cosmetic and culinary purposes.

The Camellia flowers are aesthetically pleasing and are well known for their huge blossoms that can be seen in many colors. Gradients such as white, red, and lavish pink are the most popular flowers found in Japan's valleys. They are usually the ones that are used to extract and produce the Camellia Seed oil.

Camellia Variants

Since there are hundreds of Camellia flower species available in the market, you can expect to have many varieties of oil. Even though many companies use different refining methods to produce different strengths and capacities of the oil, there are widely three types of Camellia Seed oil.

  • Camellia Sinensis
    The type of oil that is extracted from this species of the Camellia plant is tea oil. This oil is excellent for removing blemishes and providing an extra glow to the skin.
  • Camellia Japonica
    Camellia japonica is used to extract the tea seed oil. This oil is used for culinary purposes all throughout East Asia. It has edible properties and is excellent for regulating cholesterol.
  • Camellia Oleifera
    Camellia Oleifera is the source of the Tsubaki oil. It is known for its cosmetic and culinary uses. When used in cosmetics, it adds suppleness to the skin and imparts a youthful glow.

What Else is Camellia Seed Oil Known As?

The reason why many people in the West are not aware of the name Camellia Seed oil is the number of names that it is known by. It is generally confused with many tea oils. The misconception, perhaps, comes from the fact that tea oils are extracted from Camellia sinensis, which, too, as mentioned above, is a form of Camellia flower.

Another source of tea oil is the Melaleuca alternifolia botanical.
Names such as Camellia oil, Camellia Tea oil, Camellia Seed Oil, Tea seed oil, Tsubaki oil, and Tea oil are popularly used for this oil. It is also known as the Oriental olive oil due to the striking resemblance of components that the two have.

No matter what name you find on the market, almost all these oils are capable of letting the user develop youthful and healthy skin and hair.

History of the Camellia Seed Carrier Oil

For centuries, Camellia seed oil was considered the treasured property of the bourgeoisie in China and Japan. In Japan alone, the Camellia flower has over 900 names.

Initially, the Camellia flower's oil was extracted to make exquisite vegetable oil or relaxing tea. It has been an essential part of the Chinese and Japanese culture since long ago the Western world got to know about it.

According to traditional Chinese herbology, Tsubaki oil is the perfect medicine for cardiovascular issues. The oil is also known to be beneficial as an anti-inflammatory, calmative, and detoxifying agent.

The first flowers that were seen in England can be dated back to 1739. The seeds were brought to Essex by a British official who had been working in Japan. The Camellia sinensis variant gained immense popularity among the British as it was the source of their beloved hot beverage - tea.

Since the oil also has high quantities of fatty acids, Omega-9, and other nutritional components, it gained a lot of popularity for its health benefits.

It was only after many years that the cosmetic properties of the camellia flower's seed's oil were discovered. This does not come as a surprise as the Chinese, and the Japanese had been using the oil for its health benefits for a long time.

Today, Camellia Seed oil is not only used for medicinal and cooking purposes but also cosmetic purposes. Geishas and many other popular beauty-experts believe that the rich Vitamin content is the reason why the oil has the rejuvenating effects that it has.

Extracting Good Quality Camellia Seed Oil

As mentioned before, Camellia Seed oil is extracted from the Camellia oleifera flowers. These flowers produce mangosteen-like green-tinged fruits. You can find well-grown Camellia plants in the month of October as the plants are generally planted in July and are ready to harvest in three months.

These fruits are carefully picked from September to December and are used to extract the Tsubaki oil. It is beneficial to let the plants split open naturally by drying them in the sun. Once the plant dries open, it is easy to isolate and extract the seeds that are ultimately used to extract the Camellia Seed oil.

The fruit, flower, and seeds should be as dry as possible since the more dehydrated the seeds, the better the extraction.

The outer shells of the seeds are removed in the dehulling process, and what is left of the seeds is put in a cold-press. The cold-press process helps in preserving the oil's nutrient profile, quality, and purity.

The oil then undergoes further refinement to make it as pure as possible. This refinement is used for deodorization, bleaching, and winterization of the product that elongates the life and quality of the oil.

There are a few different methods by which Camellia Seed oil extraction is done from the seeds and plants. Such methods include the cold-pressing method, heat extraction method, and Solvent Extraction method.
