Manufacture Wholesale Natural/synthetic Camphor Powder
Products Description
Natural camphor powder is derived from the wood of the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora). It is a white crystalline substance with a strong, aromatic scent. The extraction process typically involves steam distillation of the wood, resulting in a product that retains the natural properties of the camphor tree. Natural camphor is often preferred in cosmetic formulations for its traditional use and perceived purity.
Natural camphor is found in many essential oils, especially camphor oil. It is a white crystalline powder with a unique camphor scent and a hint of mint odor.
Synthetic camphor powder is produced through chemical synthesis, often derived from turpentine oil or other petrochemical sources. It mimics the properties of natural camphor but is manufactured in a controlled environment, allowing for consistent quality and purity. Synthetic camphor is commonly used in various industrial applications, including cosmetics.
Synthetic Camphor is prepared by using alpha-Pinene as raw material, then esterify converted camphene into L-bornyl acetate, next to saponification the L-bornyl acetate into DL-Isoborneol, and finally oxidate the DL-Isoborneol.
