Camphor is a natural substance, extracted mainly from the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora), native to Asia. With an intense and refreshing aroma, camphor has been a traditional component in natural medicine, home and cosmetics.
Its appearance is solid and crystalline, and it dissolves easily in alcohol and oils. Historically, it has been used as an analgesic, decongestant, and repellent, among other applications. Today, its benefits continue to be rediscovered and expanded, ranging from pain relief to skin care.
