Kamelya Chaulmoogra Oil

Description and Uses of Chaulmoogra Oil

Chaulmoogra Oil (Hydnocarpus laurifolia) is extracted from the seeds of an Asian tree traditionally used for its visible effect on complexion uniformity. Rich in natural fatty acids and specific compounds, it is appreciated in cosmetics for its targeted action on areas with an irregular appearance. Applied regularly, it helps promote a more homogeneous and luminous appearance of the skin while providing a sensation of comfort and balance.

Its soft touch and penetrating texture make it an ally for skin with an uneven, fragile, or discoloration-prone appearance. In hair care, it helps to support scalp balance and to promote healthy and shiny-looking hair.
