Camellia oil, also known as tea seed oil, is extracted from the seeds of the tea plant. This Asian tree is widely known for its young leaves, which are used to make the traditional Asian drink.

On the island of Oshima in Japan, under the January snows, the first flower to bloom is the Camellia, a symbol of Immortality in Japan.

But did you know that the seeds of the tea plant produce a precious oil that has long been used by Japanese women for its "healing" properties?
