I wanted to say that this stuff rocks! I love Camellia Oil. I use it as a moisturizer and in my opinion, I think it's great than any other moisturizer i have used. My skin just drinks this stuff. I have combination skin and i've been using it for almost a month now and my skin looks healthier than it was before. You can use Camellia oil for your hair, skin, nails, and body.

I'm not sure how it would work with people for oily skin. I can't say..but it's good if you are looking for a moisturizer and you have either combination, sensitive or dry skin.

It's high in oleic acid, much like human skin, so makes it able to penetrate the skin deeper into the skin.

I personally think that the less ingredients that a product has, the better...(generally speaking...) especially with moisturizers.

It's also a good oil to prevent your skin from wrinkling and even though i'm only 28 years old...and hardly have any wrinkles..thanks due to my genetics...i don't wanna be seeing it in my 30's or 40's..so prevention is the best medicine.

Anyway, Here are some information about Camellia oil!

Property of camellia oil is similar to the ingredient of human skin, so that camellia oil fit with hair care and skin care. Olive oil also has similar property to camellia oil. Both of camellia oil and olive oil are not easily dry. However, camellia oil exceeds olive oil in content of OREIN acid and chemical stability (including not easily to be oxidized). Camellia oil can help human body to protect from the stimulation and destruct e.g. ultraviolet radiation, sunburn that resulted from the outside aroundings. It has a good disinfecting and germicide effect. The camellia is used for treating tinsea. The components of camellia oil moisturize, soften, and protect hair, and provide it with moisture and shine. Meanwhile shampoo formulated with camellia oil is effective in cleaning dandgruff, easing prurigo and protecting from losing hair. Camellia oil contains vitamins, A, B &E and various minerals, P, Za, Ca, Fe, Mn, and Mg. Comellia oil is one of the most rapidly absorbed oils making it an excellent choice as a facial oil. It has been used for centuries in China to protect and nourish skin from wrinkling.

 
sounds like you have found something that work for you! that's wonderful!

i wonder how it's different from jojoba oil?

 
Well, i've used jojoba oil as well and i'm not particularly keen on it. I found that it just made my skin more oilier and my skin didn't soak it up as i thought it might.

jojoba oil is a fantastic moisturizer and has a high concentration of vitamin E. I can't find any information about having Vitamin B nor minerals. Jojoba oil is cheaper compared to camellia oil and i have to wonder if that's because it doesn't contain some of the vitamins and minerals that the camellia oil has.

I hope this helps. =)

 
You should..its great stuff! Ive been wanting it for so long and was a bit weary cuz i dont handle oils very well but the camellia have exceeded my expectations!

I've been wanting to try this for a long while, too. How much does it cost, typically? You only need to use a few drops, so a little bottle would probably last quite a while and be good to start off with, right? I'm just not sure what kind would be best to get.

 
Yea..the bottle I bought it from was eBay Store - Hannari-Ya: MAIKO GEIKO, SHIRO-NURI, ACCESSORIES

Classic Japanese 'OSHIMA TSUBAKI' 100% Camellia Oil is what I bought.

3-4 drops and i rub it between my hands briefly and run my hands through my hair and face. 3-4 drops for face tends to be a bit too oily i find..so you wanna add some to your hair, hands, nails, feet..wherever.

I have to say that I do have short thick hair..so if you have longer hair..you might need a couple more drops.

There is another site that sells something similiar...

http://chidoriyaworld.stores.yahoo.net/

I don't know much about them..never ordered anything from them.

They have a different type of camellia oil but I don't know too much about the types. I find that the hannari-ya site has a better value because you get the camellia oil in a 60ml bottle whereas this other site..sells it in a 54ml bottle and that's the biggest they have...

I hope this helps..but have a looksie!

 
I love Camelia oil, it's also called Tsubaki Oil in Japan. I use it for my hair, body and face(winter) when I'm feeling so dry.

I love that it doesn't smell like oil at all. I never like having any oily stuff on my hair, but I love this one.

I'm using this one and it's 100% pure. I'm on the 3rd bottle now. It got BIG raves here in Japan. You can check the Japanese language reviews here. It got 5 stars with 1291 reviews.

I can't wait to try it, I ordered some a while ago so it should be on its way. I love the fact that it gives UV protection.

 
Are you kidding me Leony?!! 12 bux for 60ml? My bottle was 17 bux for 60 ml with a 9.50 shipping costing in total $26.50 US!

Makes me wish I was in japan! I wish I knew about this stuff when I was in Okinawa. =X

 
anybody tried silkia camellia oil? That's the one I have i bought that at Goldport beauty..It's also 100% Camellia Oil. I just don't know if it has the same effect with your japanese camellia oil.
