INCI: Cinnamomum camphora

Umuthi Camphor Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the leaves, flowers, and twigs of Cinnamomum camphora . It has a characteristically cool, penetrating aromatic profile used in diffuser blends, massage products, and topical formulations where a fresh, camphoraceous note is wanted. This is a strong, concentrated essential oil and should be used with caution. It is not suitable for pregnancy and should always be diluted before topical use.

♡ Why we love it: Camphor brings a bold, unmistakably fresh character to a blend. It is useful when a formulation needs a cool, clean, highly recognisable aromatic note, especially in body care and seasonal-style blends.
