Description

Camphor appears as a colorless or white colored crystalline powder with a strong mothball-like odor. About the same density as water. Emits flammable vapors above 150°F. Used to make moth proofings, pharmaceuticals, and flavorings.;Camphor oil appears as a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. Flash point 125°F. Insoluble in water and generally less dense than water. Vapors heavier than air.;D-camphor appears as colorless or white crystals. Sublimes. Flash point 149°F. Burns readily with a bright, smoky flame. Penetrating aromatic odor. Pungent, aromatic taste followed by a sensation of cold.

Application

Camphor, Synthetic, USP is primarily used for its various therapeutic properties, including anesthetic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, astringent, cooling, and refreshing effects. This synthetic version of camphor, a colorless glassy solid with a penetrating, characteristic odor similar to eucalyptus, is designed to mimic the natural compound originally derived from the Cinnamomum camphora tree. When absorbed into the skin, synthetic camphor combines with glucuronic acid and is eventually excreted through urine. It is particularly effective for treating oily and acne-prone skin. While it is beneficial in many skincare applications, it is important to note that high concentrations can be irritating and may numb peripheral sensory nerves. Used historically in traditional Chinese medicine for various ailments, camphor's legacy includes a wide range of applications, from treating skin diseases and fibrous tissue inflammation to alleviating neuralgia and symptoms of influenza. Additionally, it has been traditionally used in mothballs due to its distinctive odor.
