Yes, this is true, camellia oil is very nutritive. Camellia oil is very rich in vitamins, A, B and E, and contains various minerals, phosphor, manganese, magnesium, calcium.
It is great for dealing with several diseases- through nutrition (fatigue, anoxia, promotes immunity system, functioning of stomach) and through applying on skin for example, which means as cosmetic preparation.
Camellia oil is highly absorbive oil, this is why is appropriate of facial oil. In china camellia oil has been used for centuries to protect skin from wrinkles.
The basis of camellia oil is orein, which is anti oxidant, this is why it makes camellia oil anti-wrinkle oil, and is also a great sunburn and ultraviolet protector. Orein also has effects of disinfecting.
Camellia oil is besides skin care also used in hair care- it helps dealing with dry hair- it provides hair with moisture and takes care of dandruff. Camellia oil also adds hair shining and softness. Some recommend it against loosing hair.

i don't know whether you girls tried this oil, but my mom bought it after using microdermabrasion.
She applied silkia camellia oil - she heard somewhere it makes wonders and makes skin tone more even.
She is 58, and her has more problematic skin than before (very dry some places and very oily elsewhere) So, she tried this miracle oil and it was a big mistake - she got cysts on her forehead and cheeks Confused

She is practically ashamed to go public with her face looking like that. And it is not just a phobia - her skin truly looks awful. i don't know who had any success with this silkia camellia oil, besides it says it helps heel acne scars... well,i am not sure about that... It may be full with vitamins, but it causes cysts- not acne- CYSTS! I would apply on my face to see if i have the same reaction, but i am not ready to go through the same torture like my poor mother. We strongly do not suggest!!!
