Description :
Laevo-Camphor, also known as L-Camphor or (1R)-Camphor, is a white, crystalline, waxy solid with a strong, penetrating, and cooling aroma. It is a naturally occurring terpenoid ketone obtained from the wood of the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) or through synthetic production. Laevo-Camphor is commonly used in the pharmaceutical, fragrance, cosmetic, and industrial areas for its cooling, antiseptic, and aromatic properties. It causes a refreshing feeling and is a common ingredient in products such as balms, ointments, and perfumes.
Laevo-Camphor is found in pain-relieving balms, liniments, and ointments due to its cooling, anti-inflammatory, and mild analgesic properties. It relieves muscle pain, congestion, and itching, and is present in many cold rubs, vaporizing oils, and medicated creams. Other healthcare ingredients in a related category include Disodium Succinate and Ethyl Oleate.
In perfumery, Laevo-Camphor contributes a fresh, medicinal, and woody note that enhances herbal, oriental, and aromatic compositions.
