Camellia oleifera
The magical plant that produces good oil, as well as the good saponin.
Camellia oleifera,
which originated in Asia,
is notable as the source of
edible oil obtained from its seeds.
Tea Seed Oil is sold as cooking oil
in supermarkets in Australia,
New Zealand and the
United States.
Before petrochemicals, there were tea seeds.
How did people clean the greasy dishes prior to the age of artificial detergent?
Considerately, the mother nature had designed a perfect plant for us to do just that.
Camellia oleifera grows on the mountain area
between the altitude of 900 and 1,200 meters.
It takes more than 300 days for the seeds
to become mature and ready to extract oil.
Tea seed oil is high in vitamin E and other
antioxidants and contains no natural trans fats.
After the oil extraction, the seemingly waste
pomace is actually a golden gift from nature.
P R O C E S S
Powderization
Simply dry and grind the pomace to make it powder.
The gold that looks like the dirt.
With 16.5% of “oleiferasaponin”—a specific type of saponin from Camellia oleifera—
in the powder, it’s a natural, powerful, weak acidic (pH 5.7) and bactericidal detergent.
No bubble, no trouble.
It feels weird that there are no bubbles and slipperiness when washing dishes.
But it’s really powerful and you wouldn’t believe it until you personally experience it.
D E S I G N
Cubiclization
Compress the powder to make it fix in the cubic form.
Small change, yet big difference.
In the cubic form, the powder will not accidentally spatter while blowing or quaking. In addition,
the volume of each cube is uniformly equal, so it is easier for users to take and utilize. Also, the cubic—rather than any other—form makes the space-filling arrangement, packaging, transportation and storage possible. Last but not least, the compression makes the powder 43.8% denser, which means the same space contains almost twice volume of the cubes than the loose powder.
Easy to dissolve
when the powder cube
soaks in the water.
Solid enough
to keep the cubic form
during transportation.
No Spatter
The cube, unlike the loose powder, will not
accidentally spatter while blowing or quaking.
Easy To Take
The volume of each cube is uniformly equal,
which is much easier for users to take and utilize.
Smaller Size
The compression of powder saves the packaging
materials, and economizes 43.8% storage space.
Space-filling
The cubic form makes the space-filling
arrangement, package and storage possible.
B E N I F I T
Honestly harmless
Toxin-free. Residue-free. And your hands are finally freed.
To not see is to believe.
Unlike other cleansers, the powder is visible so you will see how easy it can be washed out.
From now on, the all along worries of residual toxic cleanser on the utensil are gone forever.

Extremely low-carbon.
By the power of design, “ChaCha” is a super
green product from the beginning to the end,
which utilizes everything and wastes nothing.
The seeds of camellia oleifera can be extracted to produce a natural oil. Here, the seeds have been pulverized and turned into a cubed clump. This makes packaging and transport easier for the manufacturer and measurement easier for the user. It is made from vegetable-derived products, so it has very few CO2 emissions, and its non-chemical manufacturing process is gentle on the environment. This strong design conveys a simple and clear idea.
