About

A plant wax from Japanese camellia leaves that forms a protective, occlusive layer on the skin, locking in hydration.

Camellia Japonica Leaf Wax is the wax derived from the leaves of Camellia japonica (Japanese camellia). It contains long-chain wax esters similar to those found in C. sinensis leaf wax. In cosmetics, it functions as an occlusive and emollient, helping to prevent water loss and improve skin texture. The wax is obtained through solvent extraction or mechanical剥离 of the leaf surface.
