About

A fine powder ground from the stamens of Japanese camellia flowers — used in cosmetics mainly as a natural colorant and skin conditioning material.

Camellia Japonica Stamen Powder is produced by drying and grinding the stamens (male reproductive organs) of Camellia japonica flowers. It is used in cosmetics as a natural coloring agent and texturing component. The powder contains pollen-derived proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. While the parent plant is well-studied, specific toxicological data for the stamen powder in cosmetic use is limited but expected to be low risk.
