Everything You Need To Know
Camphor Essential Oil is a clear, volatile oil obtained through steam distillation and careful fractionation of the bark of the Cinnamomum Camphora tree, commonly referred to as the Camphor tree. Only mature trees, at least 50 years old, are harvested to produce this premium camphor oil. Of the three fractions produced, only the Camphor White fraction is safe for cosmetic use, while yellow and brown camphor oils are toxic.
Popular in skincare, hair care, and aromatherapy, camphor essential oil delivers a crisp and refreshing aroma with a slightly medicinal undertone. When used in very small amounts, this versatile camphorated oil provides soothing and refreshing properties in creams, balms, gels, and massage oils. Its invigorating fragrance also enhances hair care formulations and home fragrance applications, including oil burners, nebulisers, and diffuser blends. Known for its clean, stimulating scent, camphor essential oil elevates both cosmetic formulations and aromatic experiences.
