The Secret to the Geisha's Flawless Skin

Tweet

Praised as the beauty secret of the Geishas, this very precious oil has been recognized for centuries in Asia for its highly restorative and rejuvenating effect on skin.

Camellia seed oil comes from the plant Camellia oleifera that grows in the mountains of South Eastern Asia. Camellia Sinensis another well-known variety, is a tea plant and the source of black and green tea. The seeds of the camellia plant are harvested and the oil is extracted with an oil press. The extracted oil has a light, yet lively aroma.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that camellia oil is a most effective multi-purpose moisturizer. Used for centuries to nourish skin and hair, it is a tried and true, authentic anti-aging product with a proven history of efficacy. It has been acclaimed as a "Miracle Oil".

Camellia oil has outstanding moisture retaining ability and is one of the most rapidly absorbed plant oils. The unique make-up of the oil allows it to penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin; much like water, leaving it smooth and supple. It possesses a unique active constituent known as squalene. Squalene is also an important component of the skin’s natural emollient system. A deficiency of squalene can result in dry skin and premature aging.

Camellia oil works wonders on your skin in the following ways:  

• Replenish - it increases skin resilience, giving your skin a supple and radiant glow.
• Restore - it eliminates or visibly diminishes fine lines and pitted acne scarring, and reduces the appearance of pores. It restores proper PH balance to the skin.
• Protect - it contains Vitamins A, B, C, E and Polyphenol, natural antioxidants that safeguard your skin from the damaging effects of UV/environmental exposure and free radicals.
• It offers similar benefits for hair. It adds shine, softness and smoothness to your hair.
• It prevents stretch marks such as those acquired during pregnancy. It helps diminish or completely eliminate stretch marks.

Camellia oil is a very penetrative oil. It is very high in Oleic acid (almost 82% of its fatty acid compositions), a mono-unsaturated omega 3 fatty acid other essential fatty acids such as Omega-6 Linoleic acid. Its Oleic acid composition is the highest among all natural oils. Studies of Oleic and other fatty acids have proven that they are an excellent emollient, and a remarkable natural agent for the retention and enhancement of skin moisture. A lack of lipid or fatty substances will impair the skin's ability to retain moisture. These substances in human skin decline as we age and this is a key factor in drier skin as we mature.
 
Studies have demonstrated that Oleic acid has unparalleled penetration power, capable of permeating deeply into the lower layers of the stratum corneaum to greatly enhance the beneficial effects of collagen and elastin, i.e. rejuvenating cell growth to give skin support and flexibility. Oleic acid is known as an excellent transdermal carrier of cell rebuilding nutrients and bioactive compounds (collagen and elastin) into the skin to repair the damage caused by dryness, sun exposure and other factors. The result is restoration of the skin's elasticity, significant improvement in skin texture as well as elimination or remarkable reduction of fine lines and small wrinkles. 

Camellia oil is compatible with human skin. The human skin is a natural filtering system that best accepts skincare products with natural ingredients - ingredients similar to those formed by the body itself. Your skin will not reject these substances, therefore boosting its ability to utilize them and hence replenish itself. Oleic acid is the main fatty acid in human skin lipids (ingredients found in skin including fatty acids and fats). It is the main fatty acid produced by the human sebaceous or oil glands. This means that the composition of camellia oil is very similar to that of the fatty acids of human skin. As a result, camellia oil can be easily and effectively absorbed into the skin to work in synergy with the skin's own natural system to nourish cell membranes, replenish skin lipids and accelerate skin rejuvenation. Camellia oil's natural ingredients are able to restore and revitalize skin and hair from the inside out.
