Antioxidant/anti-ageing – Camellia oil, like the green tea leaves which grow from it, is antioxidant-rich, protecting the skin from free radical damage.Emollient – Tea seed oil moisturises like a dream, partly due to its high oleic acid (omega 9) content.And then there are the tea leaves themselves (used in various forms in these products)… I don’t claim to predict the future but, really, there can only be one result here: skin and hair-loving blends that are infused with pure, natural goodness. LEAFOLOGY, created by a tea addict, uses (cold pressed) oil from both the Camellia Sinesis seeds (the plant from which we enjoy tea) and the Camellia Oleifera seeds (a Chinese strain of the plant widely used in cooking). Green & black tea (which is fermented) come from the same plant: Camellia Sinesis. The molecular weight of the oil is an almost identical match for skin, allowing it to absorb quickly and thoroughly, without greasiness or blocking pores. For centuries, these artful women have used tea oil to add lustre to their locks, make their skin glow and remove their iconic make up at night. Camellia oil has a mild amber-green colour and a delicate, neutral scent. For the Japanese geisha, the delicate gestures with which they learn to impart each step of the most graceful tea ceremonies parallel the gentle, feminine beauty of the flower itself, while the oil from its seeds shine their hair. In many parts of Asia, tea is a longstanding beauty secret. Tea is a nutritional power house packed full of vitamins, fatty acids, omega oils and nourishing micro-nutrients. You may notice that every single product in the LEAFOLOGY range (apart from the tooth powder) contains tea, whether it’s in the form of the life-giving leaves we know so well as being the source of the world’s number 1 beverage after water, in extract form (containing 20 times more antioxidant power than Vitamin C) or the cold-pressed oil from the unique seeds themselves.Īll hail Camellia (the much-f êted tea plant).
