Oshima Tsubaki 100% Pure Camellia Oil 60ml is a single-ingredient pure camellia oil for dry hair, dry scalp, and dehydrated skin — cold-pressed from Camellia japonica seeds grown on Oshima Island, Japan, and free from silicones, fragrance, colorants, parabens, and mineral oil. It is one of Japan's oldest beauty ingredients, used for centuries by Japanese women to maintain hair lustre, and the original formulation that inspired the Tsubaki hair care line's use of camellia.
How it works: Oleic acid (the dominant fatty acid in camellia oil) has a molecular structure close enough to human sebum that it penetrates the hair cuticle without forming a surface coating — unlike silicone-based hair oils that sit on top and create temporary shine. Inside the hair, oleic acid fills the gaps in the CMC lipid layer, reducing moisture loss and restoring flexibility. On the scalp, it provides the same barrier function as the skin's own natural oil.
Pure camellia oil vs TSUBAKI hair care (camellia-infused formulas): TSUBAKI shampoos and conditioners use camellia oil as one ingredient among many — optimised for washing and conditioning performance. This Oshima Tsubaki oil is 100% undiluted camellia — used as a pre-wash scalp treatment (apply 30 minutes before shampooing), a finishing oil on dry hair, or a daily skin moisturiser. For the most direct camellia benefit, use the pure oil; for integrated repair in a wash-off routine, use the TSUBAKI line.
Known in Japan as 大島椿 100%椿油 60ml.
