Camphor Oil is a highly aromatic essential oil extracted from the wood and bark of the Camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora). It has a fresh, cooling fragrance with a distinctive medicinal scent, making it a popular choice for therapeutic, pharmaceutical, and aromatherapy applications.
Camphor Oil is available in several grades, including white, yellow, and brown. White Camphor Oil is the most widely used because it is considered the safest option for aromatherapy and topical use when properly diluted. Its natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory qualities also make it a valued ingredient in a wide range of wellness and personal care products.
