What does Tsubaki oil do for the skin?

There is a multitude of essential oils that are found in cosmetics and skincare products. However, the Tsubaki oil has got to be one of the most popular and effective oils in skincare. It has been around for centuries but was first introduced to Japan through China. Supposedly it's good at nourishing the skin and making it look bright and glowing. It is also used to repair damaged skin and is often referred to as the "beauty secret of the Orient."

Tsubaki oil is derived from pressing seeds of the camellia plant. Although there are many different varieties of these plants grown throughout Asia, Japan produces up to 90% of all commercially available Camellia Oil globally. This means that you can find out if a product contains Tsubaki oil through reading the ingredient list - it will end with 'Camellia Japonica Seed Oil'.

What are the Tsubaki oil's properties?

Antiseptic properties

The use of this oil dates back centuries in Japan where it was used in traditional medicine because it was known for its antioxidant and antiseptic properties. Because of this, people often credit the Tsubaki oil for Japan's traditional health and beauty rituals such as the popular 'Onsen', or hot springs.

Antioxidant properties

The Tsubaki oil has been found to be extremely effective in hydrating the skin and protecting it from environmental damage because of its high Vitamin E content which is a natural antioxidant that works as a great anti-aging ingredient. Also, its fatty acid composition makes this oil very nourishing and prevents moisture loss from one's skin.

Anti-aging properties

Because Tsubaki oil is also able to replenish the skin's natural moisture balance, people often use it as an anti-aging treatment for their face and body due to how effectively it rejuvenates the cells and moisturizes dry skin. It helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines leaving your face feeling really soft and smooth without any greasiness!

Anti-inflammatory properties

It is no wonder Tsubaki oil is one such essential oil derived from the Camellia Japonica plant. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties which help the skin fight acne, dermatitis, eczema, sunburns, and heal from wounds quickly. Some people even use it for hair care because they find that their hair is stronger after using the oil on their scalp.

Whitening properties

There are some who claim that Tsubaki oil has whitening properties when applied locally but there aren't enough clinical studies done on this topic to verify these claims. In Japan, it is often used as a cosmetic base because of its very high concentration of antioxidants.

There aren't enough clinical studies done on Tsubaki oil to be able to determine if there are any potential side effects or allergies associated with it. However, since it is rich in Vitamin E, people who have nut allergies should refrain from using products that contain the oil as it may cause an allergic reaction. The best way to use the oil is topical, by massaging it into the skin or hair.

How can I find Tsubaki oil?

Tsubaki oil is often used in Japanese beauty products such as lotions, creams, and shampoos. It can also be found under different names, so you have to check the ingredients label thoroughly before buying a product containing Tsubaki oil. For example, Camellia seed oil is an alternative name for Tsubaki Oil.

Amaki skincare products use Tsubaki oil as one of their main ingredients. Its anti-aging face oil is made with Tsubaki, which explains why it's so moisturizing. Amaki Japanese Tsubaki Anti-Aging Face Oil, known for its restoring and beautifying properties, absorbs quickly into the skin and leaves it looking hydrated. The product is meant to be used daily in order to improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone, and other signs of aging.

Tsubaki oil comes in various grades for different levels of refinement, but all of them should be effective in hydrating and moisturizing your skin. It can even be used as a substitute for olive oil!

All in all, Tsubaki was first introduced to Japan via China centuries ago, but it is now found almost everywhere since you can find it in both cosmetics and oils produced locally or imported from abroad. In addition to being used as base oil, Tsubaki has been added to various anti-aging creams due to its high antioxidant concentration.
