Product Description
What is Camphor?
Camphor is a waxy, colorless solid with a strong aroma. It is classified as a terpenoid and a cyclic ketone. It is found in the wood of the camphor laurel, a large evergreen tree found in East Asia; and in the kapur tree, a tall timber tree from South East Asia.
Natural Camphor:
Camphor has been produced as a
forest product
for centuries, condensed from the vapor given off by the roasting of wood chips cut from the relevant trees, and later by passing steam through the pulverized wood and condensing the vapors.
By the early 19th century most camphor tree reserves had been depleted with the remaining large stands in
Japan
and
Taiwan
, with Taiwanese production greatly exceeding Japanese. Camphor was one of the primary resources extracted by Taiwan's colonial powers as well as one of the most lucrative. First the Chinese and then the Japanese established monopolies on Taiwanese camphor. In 1868, a British naval force sailed into
Anping
harbor and the local British representative demanded the end of the Chinese camphor monopoly. After the local imperial representative refused, the British bombarded the town and took the harbor. The "camphor regulations" negotiated between the two sides subsequently saw a brief end to the camphor monopoly.
Synthetic camphor:
Camphor is produced from
alpha-pinene
, which is abundant in the oils of coniferous trees and can be distilled from turpentine produced as a side product of
chemical pulping
. With acetic acid as the solvent and with catalysis by a strong acid, alpha-pinene is converted to
isobornyl acetate
. Hydrolysis of this ester gives
isoborneol
which can be oxidized to give
racemic
camphor. By contrast, camphor occurs naturally as
D
-camphor, the (
R
)-
enantiomer
.
Why is camphor good for skin?
