Ordinary camphor is obtained from the chamomile tree (Cinnamomum camphora). This belongs to the laurel family and grows in southern China, Indochina and southern Japan and is cultivated in the tropics, especially in Taiwan and Florida.
The trees must be about 60 years old before they can be used for the extraction of Camphor. The essential oil is then recovered by careful steam distillation and crystallization of the shredded wood of the roots, trunks and bark.
Camphor has a characteristic, strong, fragrant, aromatic-woody, eucalyptus-like odor. In the cosmetic field camphor is used more as an active ingredient than as a fragrance.
