Dear 48grams friends! Ready for a little detour? Today we're once again taking a look at the best ingredients in 48grams products. Especially the “Skin Repair Cream“ One of our most important formulations contains active ingredients that are rarely combined. We've written about mastic oil and edelweiss extracts several times before. This blog post now focuses on the wonderful "Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil"—camellia seed oil. But what makes this oil so special? The answer lies in its simply impressive effect on the skin. The three key words are: moisturizing, soothing, and regenerating!
Moisture, lots and lots of moisture
Before we get too carried away with praise… let's just let the facts speak for themselves: Camellia seed oil contains valuable fatty acids! First and foremost is gamma-linolenic acid. It not only moisturizes the tissue but also strengthens the skin's natural barrier. It's somewhat comparable to osmosis. Don't worry, this isn't going to be a biology lesson. Just a reminder: osmosis can be thought of as a transport system. It always brings water molecules precisely to where they are needed. Gamma-linolenic acid triggers this same effect. As a result, the complexion visibly improves. For dry skin, camellia seed oil is therefore a true miracle worker.
Powerful against redness and acne
Camellia seed oil also soothes irritations, redness, and acne. Its proven anti-inflammatory properties act directly on irritated areas, providing relief and quickly restoring the skin's balance. This complements its ability to smooth the skin's surface. Those who use camellia seed oil for a few days will soon be able to stroke velvety-smooth skin; truly supple and even. This is a particularly beneficial effect for mature skin. Okay, we didn't mean to overdo it…
Traditional care
Now, a little background information. Our support team knows from experience that our customers are quite familiar with camellia seed oil. However, few are aware of the long and fascinating history of this golden-yellow oil. That's a shame. The use of this beneficial oil, also known as tea seed oil, dates back to the Japan of the shoguns, the medieval warrior lords. As early as the 12th century, geishas – the Japanese courtesans – used the oil to maintain flawless, soft skin. The oil has also been used in China and Korea for centuries – for both skin and hair care. Camellia seed oil was and remains a symbol of natural beauty and health.
Origin and production
It's therefore no surprise that the plant for which the product is named, Camellia oleifera, thrives primarily in the mountainous regions of Asia. Much like the edelweiss, this flower must defend itself against harsh weather conditions. And that's precisely why its ingredients are so effective: everything extracted from the plant's seeds through cold pressing has been designed by nature for maximum protection. That's why camellia seed oil fits so perfectly into the composition offered by 48grams. “Skin Repair Cream“ has become a real bestseller.
