The power of camellia

Why We Use Organic Camellia Oil

At People of Your Kind, organic camellia oil is a hero ingredient in our revitalising serum because of its remarkable ability to support skin‑cell health. Its nutrient‑rich profile works in harmony with your skin’s natural biology, helping cells stay nourished, resilient, and functioning at their best. The result is skin that looks smoother, feels stronger, and maintains a naturally radiant glow.

Camellia oil has been used in both Japanese and Korean skincare for centuries, famously by geishas. Despite being an oil, it rates low on the comedogenic scales, so it is unlikely to cause breakouts. People of your Kind use

Deep Hydration

Organic camellia oil is naturally rich in fatty acids, especially oleic acid, which delivers intense moisture and nourishment to the skin. Strengthening the skin’s barrier helps reduce transepidermal water loss, keeping your complexion deeply hydrated and protected from dryness. Squalene content in camellia oil is among the highest in plant sources, helping maintain the skin’s barrier and lock in moisture.

Anti‑Ageing Properties

Camellia oil is celebrated for its ability to support collagen production, helping the skin stay firm, supple, and resilient. With regular use, it helps soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enhance elasticity, and promote a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion.

Rich in Antioxidants

Camellia oil is naturally abundant in powerful antioxidants — including vitamin E and polyphenols — that help defend the skin against free‑radical damage and everyday environmental stressors. This protective action helps slow the signs of premature ageing while supporting overall skin health, clarity, and resilience.

Soothing & Anti‑Inflammatory

Camellia oil contains naturally calming, anti‑inflammatory compounds that help ease redness, irritation, and sensitivity. Its soothing properties make it especially supportive for reactive skin and conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, helping the skin feel more balanced, comfortable, and restored.
