Why we choose "Camellia Essence" as NOVamber's Signature?
為什麼選擇「山茶花精萃」成為 NOVamber 的 Signature？
The preciousness of camellia oil lies in the fact that tea seeds are only harvested in beginning of winter in November every year, and the yield is not high; Its growth cycle is long. From flowering to maturity, it takes five seasons to absorb all natural nutrients. When picked, the flowers are still in full bloom - flowers & fruits are on the same tree at the same time.
Each camellia seed gathers natural nutrients and has special effects: hair care and beauty care, detoxification and sterilization, clearing away heat and dampness, and prolonging life.
Camellia oleifera tree and olive tree are the two most famous woody oil plants in the world. The oils extracted by them are rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid and linoleic acid necessary for the human body. Therefore, camellia oil has always been known as "oriental olive oil".
However, the content of unsaturated fatty acids in camellia oil is 10% higher than that of olive oil, and it is the edible oil with the highest content of unsaturated fatty acids found so far.
山茶油的珍貴，在於茶籽每年只在11月立冬收成，產量不高；它的生長周期漫長，從開花到成熟，需經歷五季，盡吸自然養分，採摘的時候花還在盛開，花果同樹。
每顆山茶籽都聚集天然的營養素，功效特殊：護髮養顏、排毒殺菌、清熱化濕、延年益壽。
油茶樹與橄欖樹為世界上最著名的兩大木本油料植物。兩者所榨出的油均富含人體所必須的油酸、亞油酸等不飽和脂肪酸，因此山茶油一直有著「東方橄欖油」的美稱。
然而山茶油的不飽和脂肪酸含量比橄欖油還要高出10%，是目前已發現的不飽和脂肪酸含量最高的食用油。
In addition to Omega 3-6-9, squalene, and zinc, camellia oil is also rich in bioactive substances that are not even found in olive oil:
- **Camellia glycoside**
It can play a role in enhancing heart function and preventing tumors. - **Camellia tea saponin**
It has thrombolytic effect and can prevent and treat various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as vascular sclerosis. - **Camellia tea polyphenols**
It has the effect of breaking down fat and helping to lower cholesterol; strong antioxidant effect can proliferate beneficial intestinal bacteria and improve gastrointestinal function.
除了Omega 3-6-9、角鯊烯、鋅元素，山茶油中還富含連橄欖油也沒有的生物活性物質：
- **山茶甙**（音：代）（強心防癌）：
能夠起到增強心臟功能和預防腫瘤等方面的作用。 - **山茶皂**（溶血栓）：
具有溶血栓作用，能防治血管硬化等多種心腦血管疾病。 - **茶多酚** （分解脂肪、益菌增殖）：
