About

The steam distillate aqueous solution from Camellia japonica leaves and seeds, capturing the water-soluble aromatic and therapeutic compounds. A gentle, fragrant hydrosol suitable for sensitive skin formulations.

Camellia Japonica Leaf/Seed Water is the aqueous solution from steam distillation of Camellia japonica leaves and seeds. Steam distillation captures volatile compounds, essential oil components, and water-soluble plant metabolites while excluding non-volatile substances. Under EU Regulation 1223/2009, floral/botanical waters are permitted ingredients. This ingredient provides the benefits of both leaf (polyphenols, flavonoids) and seed (fatty acids from residual seed oil components in distillate) in a gentle, well-tolerated format.

Skin benefits

  • Soothing and hydrating base for formulations
  • Contains residual seed oil aromatics for natural fragrance
  • Mildly astringent from tea family tannins
  • Gentle enough for sensitive skin
