A powerful medicinal plant, green tea oil is an essential part of your beauty routine. It offers a host of benefits thanks to its protective, moisturising and regenerative properties.
Green tea oil, also known as camellia plant oil, is extracted from the seeds of the flowers of Camellia sinensis, a small shrub that grows in Asia. This 100% natural product is a great ally for those who want to improve the appearance of their skin!
The green tea oil extraction process
In order for green tea oil to be of the highest quality and therefore effective as a beauty treatment, the extraction process for the product you are about to buy must be meticulous:
- The seeds are cleaned and then dried.
- They are cold pressed, without heat, to preserve all their beneficial properties.
- The oil obtained is filtered using blotting paper or a filter press.
- It is then bottled in opaque glass bottles to protect it from migration and light.
