My Habitat Camellia Oil

Camellia Oil is deeply nourishing and has a restorative and rejuvenating effect on skin. It is praised as the beauty secret of the Geishas. Camellia Oil’s unique composition enables it to penetrate deeply into the skin, leaving it soft and supple. This nourishing, non-drying oil is rich in monounsaturated essential fatty acids and contains a high concentration of oleic acid, which provides excellent moisture retention for the skin.

Camellia oleifera, commonly known as the tea oil camellia or huangshan oil camellia, originates from southern China and has been cultivated there for more than 2,500 years, primarily for its oil-rich seeds. Traditionally, the oil extracted from these seeds has been used in Chinese cuisine, traditional medicine, as fuel for lamps, and as a key ingredient in cosmetics and soaps. Its importance in Chinese culture is evident in ancient texts, where it is highly valued for both its culinary and medicinal benefits.
