Our camphor oil, or white camphor, is steam distilled from the wood of Cinnamomum camphora. White camphor essential oil is a middle note with an intense and woody aroma. Popular in topical salves for occasional achy muscles and in aromatherapy blends to support healthy breathing. Camphor oil can be found on the market under three different colors or fractions. Brown and yellow camphor are considered to be more toxic because they contain a higher percentage of safrol. Blend with other stimulating oils like cinnamon, eucalyptus, peppermint, or rosemary.
