Sunblock UVB Note:

Camellia Oil helps protect skin from UVB sun rays (not UVA), which is important because all UV-rays break down collagen and elastin fibers, damage DNA, generate free radicals, and create abnormal bonds between molecules. In simpler terms, this leads to sun damaged skin, premature lines and wrinkles, discoloration, and poor skin texture.

However, Camellia oil should not be considered as a sunblock, natural or in any other form, as it does not provide natural sun blocking protection.

Purity and Quality of Camellia Oil:

With the growing demand for this oil, more are now offering Camellia oil, and there are various grades of quality and purity on the market. Caution should be used when selecting your source. Unlike some being marketed, such as Japanese Camellia Oil, or simply plain Camellia oil, some are 'blends', and when you check their ingredients (if you can find them) you will notice other oils and/or fragrance chemicals have been added to this precious oil. Some do not state which variety of Camellia oil it is, leaving you to wonder which it is and if it is 100% Camellia oil or a blend with other carrier oils.

• Camellia oleifera oil is a natural plant "carrier" oil.
• With excellent penetration ability, Camellia oleifera oil does not leave your skin feeling oily or greasy.
• Camellia oleifera oil is not "Camellia Essential Oil", therefore, normal Essential Oil Warnings do not apply to Camellia oleifera oil.
• Camellia oleifera oil is safe used while pregnant and while *breast feeding.
• Camellia oleifera oil is safe for use on newborns and children, and is excellent as pre-term massage oil to stimulate growth in premature newborns.
• The Camellia plant is an evergreen plant which produces flowers that produce seeds, it is not a wild flower.
• There are differences between the varieties, Camellia oleifera oil (from the seeds), Camellia sinensis oil (from the leaves, and at times found as an essential oil), and Camellia japonica oil (a more scarce variety of Camellia, from the seeds)

*Camellia oleifera oil is safe used on skin and hair while pregnant. While breast feeding, do not apply the oil to the breasts, our oil is cosmetic high grade and not food grade.

Another popular Camellia oil, Camellia sinensis (the Minnan word for which is the etymological origin of the English word tea), is where tea comes from, all teas (茶, the Chinese character for tea, and tê the Hokkien dialect). Various colors, types of tea, such as white or black tea, are created by how the leaves of the Camellia plant are treated when turning into tea. There are at least six varieties of tea: white, yellow, green, oolong, black tea, and post-fermented teas and a teas type is determined by what is known as the enzymatic oxidation process, known as 'fermentation' in the tea industry. For White tea, as an example, the leaves are not allowed to oxidize, and with black tea the leaves are fully oxidized.

With the many Camellia oil offerings growing on the web, if the oil is not certified organic it could pose a risk of pesticides and unknown chemicals in the oil. Without certification there are no guarantees. Also, the oil could be expressed with chemicals since chemical extraction is a much faster process to produce carrier oils.

The Camellia oil you purchase should be Certified Organic, 100% Pure, and Cold Pressed. The website should show 100% of the ingredients, being just one.

How to use Camellia Oil

For Face and Throat: 

For best results, apply a few drops in the morning and evening after cleansing your skin. Use circular motions until mostly absorbed. If applying makeup, wait 5-10 minutes to allow the remaining oil to absorb. Helps makeup glide on without that dry feeling. Can be used alone or with our Camellia Oil Healthy Face and/or Body Lotion.

Please Note: Although Camellia oil is known to help protect skin from the damaging effects from UVB light, it is not a "Natural Sun Block".

For Hands and Body:

Use a small amount to cover the areas you wish to apply and massage in gently until mostly absorbed, the remaining oil will be absorbed by your skin momentarily. Can be used morning and night, or as often as needed, and can be used with or followed with our Camellia Oil Body Lotion for even longer lasting protection and moisturizing.

For Chemotherapy & Radiation Treated Skin

This pure organic oil is safe for the common side effects and skin damage caused by chemotherapy and radiation. Apply to skin as often as needed. It is very beneficial to follow with our Camellia Oil Body Lotion which is free of fragrances, dyes, and harmful ingredients/chemicals, including harmful and potentially harmful preservatives.

For itchy skin after bath or shower:

For those who suffer intense itching after a bath or shower, and/or swimming, the natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in this body oil will help give relief, almost immediately. Towel dry and apply a thin layer to your skin and rub in, making sure to cover areas of intense itching. If you still feel slight itching or tingling in spot, apply to those areas missed and rub into skin. Reapply as needed, can be used with our Camellia Oil Body Lotion to provide longer relief.

Expectant Mothers & Body Builders ~ Help Prevent and Minimize Stretch Marks: 

Apply to needed areas "at least" twice a day. Massage in circular motion until the oil is absorbed. Allow 10-15 minutes for the remaining oil to absorb. It can also help to take Hydraplenish with MSM® (Hyaluaronic Acid with MSM) from NATURE'S WAY, which works internally, working from the inside of your body while Camellia oleifera oil works from the outer layers of skin. Can be followed with our Camellia Oil Body Lotion for all day moisturizing.

Preterm & Infant Massage:

Studies show massaging premature infants demonstrated enhanced weight gain and an increase in body length. Application of oils through massage to healthy preterm babies resulted in enhanced weight gain and neurological development, and a shorter stay in the hospital. (source PubMed)

For burns and sunburn:

Apply after the affected area is cleaned using thoroughly washed hands or sterile gauze, covering the affected areas lightly, and reapply as needed. Can be used along with our Camellia Oil Manuka Honey Body Lotion for more protection.

For Hair:

BEFORE SHAMPOO:
As a pre-shampoo treatment, apply to hair 20-30 minutes before shampooing, wrap hair in bag and cover with a towel to heat the oil by body heat. After 20-30 minutes, shampoo as normal. It is helpful to allow hair to air dry, not applying heat from a hair dryer.
AFTER SHAMPOO:
While your hair is still wet, apply a 'small' amount of oil to your hands and massage in. Allow to air dry.
FOR EXTRA DRY OR DAMAGED HAIR:
Apply to hair and distribute evenly and thoroughly, cover head with plastic bag and cover with a towel to heat the oil with body heat. Leave on for two hours or overnight. Wash to remove any excess oil not absorbed.
