I'm quite into homemade house fragrances...

Think about that for a moment.

Why do you choose Camellia oil for after sun?

And, which other oils are good for after sun?

Camellia is a good neutral oil and I used it a lot living in China ; it's always worked well for me.

Everybody is different - you have to try a variety on your skin - I'm lucky I've never had a skin condition in my life and it is in good condition for my age.

I don't like the industrial lubricant highly processed oils like sunflower and rapeseed - I prefer the more traditional ones like Olive and Camellia and Coconut as long as they're truly organic.

I love it's high Omega 3, 6 and 9 fat ratios high vitamin content, neutral taste and high smoke point for frying plus it really goes right through the skin like black Castor oil - it is actually better than Olive oil in a lot of ways.

Thanks for this great info!
I'll pick some up to use on my face.
I mostly use sweet almond oil.

Sweet Almond oil is great as long as it's good quality - most of the nut oils are brilliant as well.

Black Castor oil is probably one of the best for after sun as well; you'll have to try it and see if you like the smell, taste and feel on your skin Nav.

In general it is better to use edible oils because the tiny molecules go right through the skin into the capillaries then into the general blood circulation so are immensely powerful and psychoactive because they bypass the stomach and digestive tract they work like a trans-dermal nicotine patch or injection - the ancients knew that - some oils were worth much more than gold - still are today !
