Japanese Camellia Oil (Tsubaki) - 100% Pure, 2 fl oz

Good quality. As described. No breakouts when applied to skin. Good for hair as well

I decided to try out tsubaki oil (specifically was looking for camellia japonica oil, versus camellia oleifera oil) as my jojoba oil wasn't keeping up with the drier air (and skin) as fall moved into winter, even when I used more of it. The camellia oil absorbs relatively quickly, and I love how it keeps my skin feeling and looking soft and supple better than the jojoba oil under dry conditions. It seems to me that my skin has a healthier glow now. I have been using oils for about a year as my all around facial moisturizer and don't have issues with breakouts, although once in a while I do have a pimple show up on my mature skin. I'm glad I tried this oil. I love the camellia japonica oil, prefer it over my jojoba and marula oils, and plan to see how it works out as a year round moisturizer. Like my jojoba oil, 1-2 drops (often mixed in with a drop of grapefruit or other pleasantly scented essential oil) also works well as a leave in hair conditioner on the ends of my hair.

Good oil

It is seemingly clear , which concerned me because it says it's unrefined, but after having used it quite a bit now, it does make a difference in the way my skin looks. No bad reactions. I also have used a very tiny bit in my hair ( even on the top of my head ) & it definitely adds shine without greasiness as long as it's a very tiny amount. A good conditioner for hair at night. So what I did for my hair now is I added it to a homemade hair serum with aloe Vera gel, glycerin , a tiny bit of castor oil ; distilled water, a few drops of rosemary & lavender oil,& put it into a spray bottle & its the perfect hair serum or leavein conditioner( I have dry hair) , I now add it to my homemade face serums for my skin as it would be too much oil on its own for my skin , really adds quality to my serums - they are better now having combined it into them. So I'm very happy with it.

This oil worked so well on my body and hair, but caused some break outs on my face. I had hoped to use this as a night oil to help retain moisture, but I don't think it's the right oil for me. It worked so well on my body and hair I think I'd keep buying it anyways though! I mixed some of this into coconut oil as a hair mask and my hair felt incredible afterwards :) I'm going to keep experimenting with using it as a facial oil, but I think I might be too acne prone for this specific oil.
