What is it?
Camphor is a naturally occurring aromatic compound that has been used for centuries in traditional skin care and wellness practices. It is valued for its cooling sensation, refreshing aroma, and skin-conditioning properties. In skincare, camphor is commonly used in products designed to invigorate, refresh, and comfort the skin.
Where does it come from?
Camphor is traditionally obtained from the wood of the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora), which is native to parts of Asia. It can also be produced from sustainably sourced plant-derived terpenes, such as those found in turpentine oil from pine trees. The camphor used in cosmetic products is purified to meet strict quality and safety standards.
