Camphor

Camphor (CAS 76-22-2 ), also known as laurel camphor, is a bicyclic ketone derived from the wood of Cinnamomum camphora or produced synthetically. It functions as a flavoring agent, fragrance fixative, and active ingredient across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food applications. In topical pharmaceutical formulations, camphor acts as a counterirritant and penetration modifier in creams, liniments, and medicated patches targeting muscle and joint discomfort. Fragrance compounders use it as a fixative and character note in perfumes and incense. It is frequently utilized in scented personal care products where a clean, medicinal profile is required. Oral care manufacturers incorporate it into toothpastes and mouthwashes for its cooling sensation and flavoring contribution. At regulated concentrations, it is also approved as a flavoring agent in food products, where it delivers a characteristic herbal, minty note. Camphor is supplied as white crystalline powder, pressed blocks, or sublimed flakes depending on requirements. Standard grades include USP , BP , and Ph. Eur. for pharmaceutical applications, as well as technical grade for industrial fragrance and manufacturing use. These quality standards ensure consistency across global supply chains. Natural (d-camphor) and synthetic (racemic) variants are both commercially available for various industrial needs. Natural-origin material often commands preference in premium fragrance and clean-label formulations due to its botanical source. Contact us for supply of Camphor Request Quote
