Niwaki Camellia Oil (100ml)

The Japanese solution for keeping your tools clean and rust free.

Oil from the seeds of Camellia oleifera (same family as Camellia and tea) is the traditional Japanese choice for protecting tools from rust: use it when cleaning, and as a regular protective coating. Leaves a lovely deep, non-oily finish, and it’s odourless and tasteless (handy for kitchen knives, but don’t try drinking it.)

Cold pressed Camellia seeds blended with white mineral oil. Not for human consumption.

Best Usage:

Camellia oil is the preferred choice for cleaning Japanese carbon steel tools and conditioning wooden handles. It acts as a protective barrier, helping to prevent rust and keep moving parts in order. It’s also non-toxic and odourless, making it safe for kitchen knives.

For the best results, remove sap or resin with the mini clean mate. Then dry the item thoroughly before applying a thin layer of Camellia Oil using a clean cloth or our Camellia Oil Dispenser (sold seperately).
