FAQ

What is the difference between Camphor EO and synthetic camphor?
Natural camphor (extracted from Cinnamomum camphora) is predominantly d-camphor (dextrorotatory), while synthetic camphor is a racemic mixture. Both have the same restrictive safety profile.

Can Camphor EO be diffused?
Yes, in a very small amount (1-2 drops), for a short time, in a ventilated space. Never diffuse in a closed room or in the presence of children, pregnant women, or people with epilepsy.

Is Camphor EO the same as Cinnamomum camphora ravintsara?
No. Same species (Cinnamomum camphora) but a different chemotype. Ravintsara (ct cineole) contains practically no camphor. Camphor (ct camphor) is the most dangerous form. Always check the chemotype on the label.
