Tsubaki Japanese Tradition
Tsubaki Oil or Camellia Japonica’s lasting utilization over centuries is a testament to its timeless efficacy. Tsubaki is native to East Asia and was first developed as a natural Japanese beauty product during the Edo Period (1600-1868). Not only was Tsubaki oil used as an effective emollient for cosmetic purposes, its stunning flower has been presented in traditional art and pattern design throughout Japanese history as a motif love and longing.
The Essence
Tsubaki Oil refers to a specific type of Camelia (Camellia Japonica) plant that is specifically well suited for topical use due to its richness in emollient oleic acid (omega-9 fatty acid) and linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid). The combination of oleic and linoleic acids give Tsubaki oil a few major advantages in the realm of skin care. Omega-9 fatty acid locks in moisture and protects the skin from further drying. Omega-6 fatty acid helps repair the skin barrier and promotes skin elasticity. Tsubaki oil is also packed with vitamins A,D,C, and E which help protect the skin from environmental damage and oxidative stress. These characteristics also aid Tsubaki oil in softening rough skin, plumping out signs of aging, and repairing sun-damage. This ingredient can be a true hero of all oils in the desperate drier climates and seasons when adding, retaining, and protecting moisture can be such a battle against environmental elements. It also clarifies the skin without pores.
