$24.96$20.38Save 18%
Camphor essential oil comes from the white fraction of the wood distillate of Cinnamomum camphora, isolated for its sharp, cooling clarity. The scent is crystalline and piercing, with a dry woody undertone that lifts lavender, rosemary, and citrus blends into brighter, more awake compositions.
A blend amplifier, camphor's crystalline sharpness needs only a drop or two to snap lavender, rosemary, citrus, and conifer notes awake in a fragrance composition.
Verified for purity, every bottle is 100% pure and undiluted camphor oil, backed by our published Certificate of Analysis.
Ten sizes available, from a 0.5 oz sampler bottle up to 400 lb drums for formulators and bulk buyers alike.

Bulk Camphor Orders Welcome
We happily fill bulk orders of camphor essential oil for formulators, candle and soap makers, and resellers. Every size, from a 0.5 oz sampler to a 400 lb drum, is drawn from the same standard of purity, so scaling up never means compromising quality.
Add a drop or two of camphor to your diffuser alongside eucalyptus or peppermint for a crisp, cooling atmosphere that cuts through stuffy rooms and stale air.
Camphor's sharp, crystalline top note gives artisan candles and cold-process soap an invigorating edge when blended in small amounts with woodier base oils.
Blended at a low percentage into a carrier oil, camphor adds a cooling sensation to massage oils and DIY skincare routines that call for a brisk, fresh finish.
Camphor essential oil is a concentrated botanical material, so always dilute it to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil before any skin contact, and patch test on a small area first. Keep it away from the eyes, out of reach of children and pets, and never ingest it. Store the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dark place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this camphor essential oil pure? ▾
Yes. Every bottle is bottled 100% pure and undiluted camphor essential oil, taken as the white fraction of the wood distillate of Cinnamomum camphora. You can review our published Certificate of Analysis for full purity documentation before you buy.
What is 'white camphor,' and how is it different from brown or yellow camphor? ▾
White camphor is the light fraction of the wood distillate of Cinnamomum camphora, the fraction favored for fragrance and craft work. Brown and yellow fractions carry heavier, harsher constituents and are generally reserved for industrial use, not for scenting projects like ours.
What does camphor essential oil smell like? ▾
Camphor is sharp, cooling, and crystalline, with a dry woody backdrop. In fragrance work it acts like an exclamation point, and tiny amounts lift lavender, rosemary, citrus, and conifer notes, giving a blend extra brightness and lift.
How do I dilute camphor oil for use on skin? ▾
Because camphor is a strong, concentrated oil, keep any skin-contact dilution low, generally 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil. Patch test on a small area first, and avoid the eyes and sensitive skin. It is not intended for internal use.
What sizes do you offer, and can I buy in bulk? ▾
We offer ten sizes of camphor essential oil, from a 0.5 oz bottle up through 25 lbs, 100 lbs, and 400 lbs for wholesale buyers. Formulators, candle and soap makers, and resellers are all welcome to order at any size along that range.
Does buying a larger size save money per ounce? ▾
Yes. Per-ounce cost falls steadily as size increases, and our largest 400 lb size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest 0.5 oz bottle, making the bigger sizes a meaningful saving for regular or bulk use.
Is bulk camphor oil covered by lab documentation? ▾
Yes. Every size we sell, from the 0.5 oz bottle to the 400 lb drum, is covered by the same published Certificate of Analysis. If you need anything further for a bulk order, please contact us before ordering.
Which size should I start with? ▾
If you are new to camphor, the 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottle is enough to try it in a diffuser blend or a small DIY project. Regular home crafters tend to land on 2 oz to 8 oz, while candle, soap, and formulation businesses typically order 5 lbs or more.
How fast do orders ship, and how do I check out? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need a little extra handling time before they leave our facility. Checkout runs through our Shopify store, so you can pay securely and track your order the same way you would anywhere else.
Does camphor oil crystallize or change in storage? ▾
Camphor oil is naturally rich in camphor itself, so in cool conditions you may notice fine crystals forming in the bottle. This is a normal characteristic of the oil, not a sign of spoilage, and gently warming the bottle will return it to a clear liquid.
