DL-Camphor

DL-Camphor (CAS 21368-68-3 ) is the racemic synthetic form of camphor, produced via chemical synthesis rather than natural extraction. Known commercially simply as Camphor, it is the standard industrial grade used across personal care and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It functions primarily as a topical active, fragrance component, and processing solvent in finished formulations. In pharmaceuticals, it is incorporated into topical analgesic and counterirritant preparations such as medicated balms and liniments. Personal care manufacturers use it as a cooling and masking agent in products including lip balms, skin creams, and hair tonics. As a fragrance ingredient, it contributes a sharp, medicinal note to perfumery bases and functional cosmetic formulations. It also acts as a plasticizer solvent in cellulose nitrate lacquers and specialty coatings, particularly in nail care product manufacturing. This versatile chemical is supplied as white crystalline powder, granules, or pressed blocks depending on requirements. Standard commercial grades include USP , BP , and technical grade, with these specifications most commonly required for pharmaceutical and personal care applications. Purity levels of 96% and above are typical for industrial supply. The material is handled according to strict safety protocols due to its volatile nature and characteristic odor. Suppliers ensure that the synthetic racemic mixture meets the rigorous demands of global regulatory bodies for topical use. Contact us for supply of DL-Camphor Request Quote
