About this product
Evening, a warm washcloth, and the day's makeup lifting away in a few slow circles. White camellia oil is extra virgin, cold-pressed in the United Kingdom from the seeds of certified organic Camellia oleifera, the oil traditionally used by geishas for flawless skin and lustrous hair.
Jan Kusmirek praises its skin and hair conditioning and calls it a superb nail strengthener. It is an emollient oil with a dewy finish, and a cleanser for every skin type. Author Susan Parker notes that it is astringent: not ideal for very dry or mature skin, but just right for balancing oily and combination skin.
Details
- Botanical name: Camellia oleifera, certified organic
- Extra virgin, cold-pressed from the seed
- Pressed in the United Kingdom
How to use
- Cleanse: massage it onto your face, wipe away the excess with a dry cotton pad, and finish with a damp washcloth or a favorite hydrosol.
- Eyes: add a little to a cotton ball moistened with filtered water and wipe the lids and lash line gently.
- Hair: work it through scalp and ends, wrap in a warm towel for 30 minutes, then shampoo well; or smooth a tiny drop over dry hair to tame flyaways.
- Body: smooth it on after towel drying, with extra care for elbows and knees.
An old beauty ritual, kept on your own shelf.
