Overview - Camphene
What is Camphene?
Camphene is a scent and flavor additive in certain foods and fragrances.
It is described as having a cooling, woodsy, fir-needle smell. In addition, it has a light camphor-like scent.
Camphene's medicinal properties include analgesia, anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory.
Is Camphene safe?
Isolated camphene is a crystalline-like solid powder that ranges from nearly colorless to white. The isolated and concentrated powder is highly flammable and may cause eye, nose, and throat irritation. In addition, regular use of diluted forms may cause headaches. The isolate is also highly toxic to aquatic life.
