Camellia Oil

Camellia oil, commonly known as "tea seed oil", is the main cooking oil used in many Asian countries. It has fewer saturated fatty acids and more monounsaturated fatty acids than olive oil, has high levels of vitamin E and contains polyphenol antioxidants. Camellia oil is also used for cosmetic applications and is often formulated into soaps and creams. Because the oil is easily absorbed without a greasy feeling, it is often used to keep skin hydrated as well as to condition and strengthen hair.
