Pure Camellia Seed Oil Extraction & Composition
We produce our Oshima Tsubaki oil through traditional cold-press extraction, a gentle method that preserves the oil’s natural fatty acid profile and antioxidant content. Each 300 bottle contains oil pressed from premium tsubaki (Camellia japonica) seeds harvested on Japan’s Izu Oshima island, where volcanic soil and ocean climate create ideal growing conditions.
Camellia oil is uniquely rich in oleic acid—approximately 85% of its composition—which closely mimics the sebum naturally produced by human skin and scalp. This molecular similarity allows the oil to penetrate hair shafts and skin layers without sitting on the surface, delivering deep moisture while maintaining a lightweight feel.
How to Use Your 300mL Camellia Oil for Hair
Daily Hair Conditioning
Dispense 2-4 drops into your palms (more for thick or long hair), rub hands together, and smooth through mid-lengths to ends on damp or dry hair. The 300 size makes daily conditioning economical—most users find the bottle lasts 3-4 months with regular use. Focus application away from roots if your scalp tends toward oiliness, or apply to the entire scalp if you experience dryness or flaking.
Pre-Shampoo Deep Treatment
For intensive repair, massage 1-2 tablespoons through dry hair from scalp to tips, concentrating on damaged areas. Leave on for 20-60 minutes (or overnight with a shower cap), then shampoo as usual. This treatment is especially effective for restoring moisture to color-treated, heat-styled, or chemically processed hair.
Multi-Purpose Skin & Body Applications
The same 300 bottle that transforms your hair works beautifully as a facial oil, body moisturizer, and makeup remover. Apply 3-5 drops to cleansed, slightly damp skin morning or evening—the oil locks in moisture without clogging pores, making it suitable even for combination and acne-prone skin types.
For makeup removal, massage a generous amount over dry skin to dissolve cosmetics (including waterproof mascara), then wipe away with a warm, damp cloth. Follow with your regular cleanser if desired. Many of our customers use camellia oil as the first step in a double-cleanse routine.

Questions About Oshima Tsubaki 300mL Camellia Oil
For daily hair conditioning using 2-4 drops per application, most customers find the 300 bottle lasts 3-6 months. If you're using camellia oil for both hair and facial skincare, expect approximately 2-3 months of regular use.
Heavier users who apply generous amounts for scalp massage and body moisturizing may finish the bottle in 6-8 weeks, while minimal users focused only on hair ends can stretch it beyond six months. The dark glass bottle preserves freshness throughout this period when stored properly away from heat and light.
Yes, our 300mL pure camellia oil is excellent for color-treated, bleached, permed, and chemically straightened hair. The oil's oleic acid content helps repair damage from chemical processes while sealing the hair cuticle to prevent moisture loss and color fade.
Many professional colorists in Japan recommend camellia oil to clients as a protective treatment between salon visits. Apply it to ends before heat styling and use as an overnight deep treatment weekly to maintain your color's vibrancy and your hair's structural integrity.
Pure camellia oil absorbs quickly and won't make fine hair greasy when used in appropriate amounts. Start with just 1-2 drops rubbed between your palms and applied to mid-lengths and ends only, avoiding your roots.
Camellia oil's molecular structure is similar to natural sebum, so it penetrates the hair shaft rather than sitting on the surface. If you do use too much, simply shampoo as usual—the oil rinses cleanly without buildup. Many of our customers with fine hair prefer applying the 300 oil to damp rather than dry hair for easier distribution.
Our 300 pure camellia oil is non-comedogenic and suitable for most sensitive skin types. The high oleic acid content actually helps balance oil production rather than triggering breakouts, and the absence of additives, fragrances, and preservatives reduces irritation risk.
That said, everyone's skin is unique. We recommend patch-testing on your inner arm for 24 hours before facial application, and starting with 2-3 drops on damp skin after cleansing. If you have severe acne or dermatological conditions, consult your healthcare provider before introducing any new skincare product, including pure oils.
Store your 300 bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources—a bedroom dresser or bathroom cabinet works well. The dark glass protects the oil from light degradation, but avoid hot, humid environments like shower stalls.
Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use to prevent oxidation. Properly stored, your opened 300mL bottle maintains optimal quality for approximately 12 months, though the oil remains safe and effective beyond that timeframe. You'll know it's still fresh if it maintains a clear golden color and light, neutral scent.
Yes, apply 2-3 drops of camellia oil from your 300 bottle to damp hair before blow-drying or heat styling. The oil creates a protective barrier that reduces moisture loss and heat damage during styling.
For best results, distribute the oil through mid-lengths to ends, then proceed with your normal styling routine. Camellia oil's high smoke point (approximately 485°F) means it won't burn or smoke under typical styling tool temperatures. Many professional stylists in Japan use camellia oil as their preferred natural heat protectant.
All our Oshima Tsubaki bottles contain the same 100% pure, cold-pressed camellia seed oil—the only difference is volume. The 300mL size offers better value per milliliter than our 60mL and 100mL bottles, making it ideal for customers who've confirmed they love the product and use it daily.
The 300 format is more portable and easier to handle than our 500mL professional size, while still providing 3-6 months of typical use. Choose based on your usage frequency and whether you're trying camellia oil for the first time (start smaller) or incorporating it into your established routine (the 300 is perfect).
