Matcha and Tsubaki Oil are family!🫖🌿
Matcha comes from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant (the same tea bush used for all green tea).
Tsubaki oil (椿油 / camellia oil) is traditionally pressed from the seeds of Camellia japonica — the beautiful Japanese camellia flower.
Both belong to the Camellia genus — they’re botanical cousins!
That’s why you’ll often find tsubaki oil blended with matcha in modern Japanese skincare and beauty products: the oil’s rich, non-greasy moisturizing power (high in oleic acid) pairs perfectly with matcha’s antioxidants.
Ancient beauty secret meets the tea ceremony’s star ingredient — nature is clever, isn’t it? ✨
