Japanese Camellia Oil

This extremely light oil is extracted from the leaves of the Japanese camellia tree and a superb corrosion inhibitor for tools of all kind. Camellia oil is not susceptible to resinification and may also be used for cleaning, sharpening and lubrication purposes. The oil contains a small amount of high-purity liquid paraffin. Thus the oil is water-repellent and shows an extreme resistance against acids e.g. hand sweat. It is non-toxic (paraffin is often used in the cosmetic industry) but not food-safe. Not suitable for direct contact with food and Japanese kitchen knives. For that purpose we recommend the food-safe Sinensis Camellia oil
