Rating: This might be my favorite oil. It has a rich, luxurious feeling but sinks into the skin like a dream. I use it neat, in serums, and lotions and my hair. New Directions has the best quality in my experience.
Rating: Luxurious oil and I’ve used it in facial serum, lotions and creams.

Rating: Accidentally bought the non-organic one lol. It's an alright oil, didn't surprise me too much. Can't use it on my face, but it's great for hair and body oils. Non-greasy and doesn't irritate sensitive skin when used at 100% :) Not sure if I'll buy this again though :/
By:Mara, Sturgeon County, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 17-Mar-2015
Rating: I purchased this oil with the intent of being used in my facial serum blend. I personally found it to be too oily and did NOT find it to absorb in the skin easily. i prefer rose hip oil for this purpose. However used in a body butter blend I think it would work nicely.

Rating: This is a very precious oïl. The price is very good. I need using it in my body butters. A lovable product. Thanks New Direction !
J'adore l'huile de camélia et l'utilise dans mes beurres corporels, comme anti oxydant. Le prix est vraiment avantageux. Merci New Direction.

Rating: I recently ordered Camellia Seed oil. This is now among my favourite carrier oils. It absorbs so easily in the skin and as many have suggested, is also a lovely oil for the hair.
By:Elizabeth, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 18-Dec-2005

Rating: I absolutely love this oil. I use it as a hair treatment, as a cuticle oil and even for an eye serum. I am so happy with this product.
By:Tara, Etobicoke, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 12-Apr-2012
Rating: I love this oil! I ordered a 473mL bottle, and I'm planning on including a 1L bottle in my next order. It absorbs easily into the skin, and is great everywhere. I love it in lotions, where it sinks into my skin quickly. It's great on my face, and I love it in my hair. I rub about 1tbsp of oil into my waist-length hair and brush it through with a natural bristle brush. I then let it soak it for about an hour before washing it out with a homemade shampoo bar. My hair is beautifully soft, silky, and shiny for weeks. This is definitely in my top three carrier oils!
By:Marie, Calgary, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 30-May-2011
Rating: I always have camellia oil in the fridge. I love using it in my body butters, soaps. It is a precious oil. It sinks in the skin and has no bad smell.
Je ne me passe jamais de cette huile précieuse. Je l'emploie dans certains savons mais surtout dans les beurres corporels. Cette huile pénètre bien dans la peau et n'a pas d'odeur tenace.
By:Louise, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Feb-2006
Rating: This oil feels great on the skin, but I can't stand the smell. After all the other reviews about no odor, it makes me wonder if my bottle is bad.
Rating: I love this oil....I like it for leave on products and sometimes put it in a facial moisturising soap. Great price too!!
By:Cathy, Sicamous, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 02-Apr-2008
Rating: This oil is great! I not just use it on my face, but also on my hair too! Not greasy at all. And the best is, it does not have strong smell. So when I add essential oil on my face oil or hair treatment, all I can smell is the essential oil.

Rating: No odor, light and non-greasy - making it the perfect addition to any natural cosmetics, body care products, hair or massage products.New Directions offers a high quality Camellia Seed Oil that is priced fair. If you haven't given Camellia Seed Oil a try yet I strongly recommend you do - you'll love it. Price and quality are unmatched
By:Romeo, Guelph, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 22-Aug-2007
Rating: This immediately became my favourite oil as soon as I tried it. I've replaced Sweet Almond oil with this one as a facial oil, added it to hair conditioner for a deep pre-treatment, used it in body oil mixture, and added vit E to it for a cuticle oil. It holds scent marvelously, and has no scent of its own to interfere.
By:Karen, Nepean, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 26-May-2006
Rating: I love this oil! It's so light and no scent. I use it as a facial oil, it's very moisturizing and absorbs very quickly with no greasy feel.
Rating: This is a lovely oil. I use it half and half with cotton seed oil in my emulsified salt scrubs. I had been using much more expensive oils and was looking for a way to have a quality product at a lesser cost in ingredients. The combination of these two oils works every bit as nicely as the much more expensive oils I had been using.
Rating: this is a fabulous oil....it has quickly become one of my favorites for facial products. Definitely worth the price!
By:Kat, Tottenham, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Apr-2006
Rating: This no smelling oil makes marvels for the skin. It is acting against rust on the samurai's sword, and will do at least the same for you !! I used it in my soap and found it so easy to mix with any other product. This is a precious oil, and the price is great at New Directions.
By:Louise, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Feb-2006
Rating: This is a great oil that is odourless and very light in colour so that it doesn't affect the colour of my creams. The oil is light and absorbes into the skin very quickly. I am going to test this oil in a variety of my soaps and shampoo's based on it performance in my face cream.
By:Trudy, Warkworth, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Jun-2006
Rating: I got this on a whim and I love it! I used to use sweet almond oil as the base for a pre-shower body oil. I've just switched to half-and-half Camellia seed and the result is great! The oil is absorded much more easily leaving my skin soft without making the towels too oily!
