Camellia Oil Heritage & Active Ingredients
At the heart of our Premium Moist formula lies tsubaki—Japanese camellia oil extracted from seeds grown in mineral-rich volcanic soil. For 150 generations, Japanese women have relied on this botanical treasure to maintain their famously lustrous, healthy hair.
Our camellia oil contains over 85% oleic acid, a fatty acid that mimics your hair’s natural sebum to create lasting moisture retention. We’ve paired this with dual amino acid complexes (arginine and glutamic acid) that penetrate the cortex to rebuild broken protein bonds from chemical treatments and heat styling.
How to Use Premium Moist Shampoo
Daily Cleansing Ritual
Wet your hair thoroughly with warm water for 30-60 seconds to open the cuticle and prepare strands for maximum absorption. Dispense a quarter-sized amount (10-15mL) into your palm and emulsify with a small amount of water before applying.
Massage gently into your scalp using fingertips in circular motions for 1-2 minutes, allowing the amino acids time to penetrate the hair shaft. Work the lather through mid-lengths to ends, then rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticle and lock in moisture.
Hair Type Compatibility & Expected Results
Our Premium Moist Shampoo performs exceptionally on medium to coarse hair textures, particularly those experiencing dryness, frizz, or damage from coloring and heat styling. The 150-ingredient camellia oil blend provides enough weight to smooth thick, unruly strands without overwhelming fine hair when used sparingly.
Color-treated and chemically processed hair sees dramatic improvement within 7-10 days of consistent use. The sulfate-free formula preserves dye molecules while the amino acid complex fills in gaps left by bleaching and straightening treatments.

Your Questions About Premium Moist Shampoo Answered
Yes, our sulfate-free formula is specifically designed to preserve hair color and chemical treatments. The gentle cleansing system removes buildup without stripping dye molecules, while the amino acid complex repairs damage from bleaching, perming, and straightening processes.
The camellia oil penetrates damaged cuticles to fill gaps left by chemical treatments, helping extend the life of your color by 2-3 weeks. Many colorists recommend our 150-heritage formula to their clients for post-service home care.
For shoulder-length hair, use approximately 10-15mL (about a quarter-sized amount) per wash. Those with longer or thicker hair may need 20-25mL to achieve full coverage and lather.
The 490mL bottle typically provides 25-35 washes depending on hair length and thickness. With daily use, most customers find one bottle lasts 6-8 weeks. We recommend our refill pouches for economical and eco-friendly replenishment.
The Premium Moist formula is optimized for medium to coarse hair textures that need substantial hydration. Those with fine or thin hair can still use it successfully by applying primarily to mid-lengths and ends rather than roots.
For fine hair that gets oily quickly at the scalp, we recommend alternating with our <a href=”/shampoo-conditioner/tsubaki-premium-repair-shampoo/”>Premium Repair Shampoo</a> on roots while using Premium Moist on lengths, or trying our <a href=”/shampoo-conditioner/tsubaki-volume-touch-shampoo/”>Volume Touch line</a> designed specifically for lightweight moisture.
The 150 represents our brand heritage—over 150 years of Japanese botanical expertise in camellia oil extraction and formulation. This time-honored tradition ensures the highest quality tsubaki oil, sourced from heritage camellia groves and processed using both traditional methods and modern science.
Our formulators draw on 150 years of documented knowledge about camellia oil’s molecular structure and its interaction with different hair types, creating products that honor this legacy while meeting contemporary performance standards.
Premium Moist Shampoo is gentle enough for daily use on dry to normal hair types. The sulfate-free formula won’t strip natural oils, making it safe for frequent washing without causing additional dryness.
If you have an oily scalp but dry ends, consider alternating days with a clarifying shampoo on roots while continuing Premium Moist on lengths. Those with very dry or coarse hair benefit most from daily use paired with our matching conditioner.
We source our camellia seeds from certified cooperatives in Japan’s Kyushu and Shikoku regions that practice regenerative agriculture and maintain the 150-year-old camellia groves. These partnerships ensure environmental sustainability while supporting local farming communities.
Our bottles are made from 30% post-consumer recycled PET plastic and are fully recyclable through standard programs. The refill pouches reduce plastic usage by 70% compared to purchasing new bottles, and both package types use water-based inks for labeling.
Premium Moist focuses on deep hydration and frizz control for dry, unmanageable hair using concentrated camellia oil and moisture-binding ingredients. It’s ideal when your primary concern is dryness, coarseness, or maintaining moisture balance.
Premium Repair targets structural damage, breakage, and split ends with a higher concentration of protein-based amino acids and keratin-bonding ingredients. Choose Repair if you have heat damage, excessive breakage, or hair that feels weak and fragile rather than simply dry.
