The camellia oil is extracted from the seeds of a specific tree which is short, has shiny leaves and its flowers look like roses. The seeds are compressed to release the oil from it. The oil is also called tea oil or tea seed oil. This does not refer to the herbal tea tree oil which is used for different purposes. Its oil is extracted from the Tea tree.
Carpenters often use the camellia oil to treat lumber or timber. The reason for this is that this oil has deep penetrating characteristics. It disappears into the skin or the wood very quickly leaving no fatty deposit. There is also its quality of keeping metal from rusting, hence, its use to protect tools and nails in wood from rust. There is also the fact that the oil can be used in the preparation of food as well.
After its compression from the seed the camellia oil has the same velvety consistency of grape seed oil and olive oil. This makes it very easy to pour and has a very good rate of sinking into the skin (or where absorption of it is needed).
Its choices of use in soaps, facial creams, oil for hair and other beauty products are endless. Women (and men) use it to set their hair, because it penetrates quickly, easily and it especially accentuates pitch black hair with its gloss. It is especially good for these purposes because of its consistency. Its application is easy and it absorbs easily as well as not leaving a fatty deposit on the surface.
It is also used in balms, lotions, creams and an endless list of beauty and natural skin care products (excellent highly moisturizing oil for this purpose). Known to remove acne and reduce enlarged pores, the high content of plant collagen in the oil assists greatly with stretch marks and helps to remove or lessen scars as well.
It has a very light herbal fragrance and is therefore very popular in the preparation of food as it does not overpower the taste of the food being prepared. For culinary purposes, this is also a very good product as it has a very high flash-point and can be heated to very high temperatures. It is nutritional, high in antioxidants and has very low saturated fat content and is popular for use as a salad dressing, because of its low fat content. It can also be stored for a lot longer than any other oil. This means that the products made from the oil do not have to rely so much on preservatives.
When you do purchase your oil, check the label carefully so that you are sure to get the best out of the oil. Make sure that there are no added preservatives or chemicals in the product so that you benefit from its best qualities. This would apply for the use of the skin care products as well.
An added advantage to the oil would be for you to make sure that it is organic and that is therefore healthier. This product has many advantages and are therefore a product that would be a great benefit to your household in general.
