A beauty product from Japan has made it back into the trends. No wonder, because the Tsubaki oil not only scores points with its effect.
Tsubaki oil, also known as camellia oil, is a vegetable oil from Japan that is becoming increasingly popular in the beauty sector. The valuable oil is extracted from the seeds of the camellia flower (Camellia japonica) and has a long tradition in Japanese beauty culture. It is known for its versatile applications and its outstanding nourishing properties, which make it a beauty trend product in skin care.
Where does Tsubaki oil come from?
Tsubaki oil comes from the Japanese camellia, a plant that grows mainly on the islands Japan. The seeds of the camellia flower are cold pressed to extract the pure oil, which is rich in omega-6 fatty acids, polyphenols and vitamin E. These ingredients make Tsubaki oil a valuable elixir for skin care.
Benefits for the skin: Moisturizes and helps with stretch marks
Tsubaki oil is extremely moisturizing and penetrates deep into the skin layers without leaving a greasy film. It helps to strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier and combat dryness. In addition, thanks to its high antioxidant content, it protects against free radicals that lead to premature skin aging. It promotes collagen production and improves skin elasticity, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Even people with sensitive skin that is prone to redness and irritation can use Tsubaki oil because it has a calming and anti-inflammatory effect. It also regenerates the skin, supports cell renewal and therefore also improves the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
For face, body, hair and nails
You can use the popular oil on your face, ideally in the morning and evening after cleansing and also in combination with your daily moisturizer. If you prefer to use it as a body oil, you should apply it to damp skin after showering. This way it is better absorbed and leaves your skin velvety soft.
Tsubaki oil can also work wonders on dry ends. Massage just a few drops into the lengths and the hair will have a natural shine. If you tend to have a dry scalp, you can also use it as a deep-acting hair mask. To do this, apply the oil before washing and massage in for 30 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly. If you also rub Tsubaki oil onto your cuticles in the evening before going to bed, you can look forward to stronger nails after just a few weeks.
