Tsubaki oil, extracted from the seeds of the Japanese camellia tree, has long been used in Japanese beauty rituals. Its use could bring benefits for the skin, particularly in terms of suppleness.

Composition of Tsubaki Oil
This oil is said to contain a notable concentration of essential fatty acids, including linoleic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid and palmitic acid. These components could play an important role in maintaining skin health.

Potential Nourishing Virtues
Tsubaki oil is also said to be rich in vitamin E, recognized for its antioxidant properties, and squalene, a component of human sebum. These elements could help maintain the skin's hydration, elasticity and resistance to external aggression.

Effects on skin softness and radiance
It is suggested that application of this oil could make skin softer, brighter and more supple, while offering a feeling of comfort due to its soft texture.

Potentially firming properties
Studies suggest that Tsubaki oil may stimulate the production of type I collagen, an essential component of skin elasticity and firmness. This could help combat skin aging.

Tsubaki: a Far Eastern shrub
Tsubaki, or Japanese rose, originates in the Far East and is renowned for its medicinal and toning properties. Interestingly, green tea, discovered in China, also comes from the Japanese camellia.
