Oil-tea camellia seed Oil

Oil-tea camellia seed oil is extracted from the seeds of the Camellia oleifera A., a member of the Theaceae family. Native to China, the oil-tea camellia tree is widely cultivated in the Yangtze River basin and other southern regions, earning it the title of the "Oriental Olive Tree." The use of oil-tea camellia seed oil in Chinese folk medicine dates back to the Han Dynasty, where it served as both a traditional cooking oil and a topical treatment for burns and skin conditions. With advancements in modern research, oil-tea camellia seed oil has gained increasing international attention, and China remains the world's leading producer and exporter of this oil.
Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids—particularly oleic acid (an Omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid)—oil-tea camellia seed oil derives its health benefits primarily from its high oleic acid content (typically 70-87%) and unique bioactive compounds such as squalene and camellia saponins, which are rare in common vegetable oils and found only in select oils like olive oil and macadamia nut oil. Cold-pressed oil-tea camellia seed oil retains a more complete nutritional profile, making it a premium choice for health and wellness applications.
