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
