ingredients



red camellia oil

for over two centuries, camellia flower seeds have been harvested from the japanese island of toshima, where each seed is handpicked and transformed into a nourishing oil. very rich in essential lipids, red camellia oil is one of the most rapidly absorbed oils. traditionally, red camellia oil has been used to promote shine and nourish the hair while maintaining the lipid barrier on the skin longer, which promotes skin health and hydration.



fragrance

our iconic interpretation of the camellia flower composed of grapefruit and green aqueous top notes, subtle camellia in the heart, and delicate vanilla with musk in the base notes.

Frequently Asked Questions


Complete Your Routine



Rated 5 out of 5 by from So soft and light scented This was the perfect size to take with me on my trip to Italy. I used it mainly on my full body and it was perfect! It melted into my skin and lasted for the majority part of the day.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great addition for daily routine Overall I thought this was a great everyday staple! For context, I have straight, thick, color treated hair. Though my hair is fairly healthy, I tend to experience some dryness or frizz from time to time and prefer to use a daily serum/leave in conditioner. While this isn't necessarily the most hydrating formula, it is elegantly formulated and absorbs quickly to both damp hair and skin without leaving any texture or residue. It also has a very light and floral scent, which adds to a more luxurious experience. While this isn't necessarily a must have, it's definitely a nice treat to look forward to as part of a daily routine!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Adds shine This product is so easy to use and distribute evenly to all strands. It is not oily or sticky. It is a lightweight balm that smells amazing. It adds hydration to the hair but the effect does not last very long. My hair feels the same dry and frizzy again the next day. That's the only drawback.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I would definitely recommend this product I have been using this product for a couple of weeks now, I like this product. I have long fine curly hair, and it gives my curls shine. It's not heavy so it doesn't weigh my hair down like some other products do. It makes my hair feel very soft, and make might hair look very hydrated as well. I love that you can also use it for your hands. It leaves my hands feeling silky smooth without the greasy feeling, the only downside is that it doesn't penetrate your skin so it washes off easily. It also smells really good which is a plus for me.
