OriginCamellia japonica is a flowering shrub native to East Asia, belonging to the Theaceae family. Cold-pressed from the seeds to obtain Camellia japonica seed oil. The oil is then chemically modified through ethoxylation, adding polyethylene glycol (10 moles of ethylene oxide) to create an emulsifying glyceride complex suitable for cosmetic formulations.
