What Camellia Sinensis Leaf Oil is & what it does

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Oil is a plant oil derived from the leaves of the tea plant, the same species that yields green and black tea. In skincare it acts mainly as an emollient and antioxidant-rich oil, helping to soften the skin and support the lipid barrier while contributing the polyphenols associated with tea extracts. It tends to have a relatively light feel compared with heavier botanical oils, which makes it a common choice in facial and after-sun products. No specific concerns are flagged for this ingredient in the catalog.
