CINNAMOMUM CAMPHORA FORMOSANA ROOT OIL

Description

Cinnamomum Camphora Formosana Root Oil, derived from the Formosan camphor tree native to Taiwan, is a potent natural extract with diverse applications in skincare and haircare formulations. This essential oil is rich in camphor, cineole, and terpenes, contributing to its aromatic and therapeutic properties. Known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, it can help combat acne-causing bacteria and soothe irritated skin. The oil's cooling sensation provides relief for itchy scalp conditions and may promote hair growth by improving blood circulation to the follicles. Its antifungal properties make it effective against dandruff and other scalp infections. In skincare, it acts as a natural astringent, tightening pores and balancing oily skin. The oil's ability to enhance product penetration makes it a valuable ingredient in various formulations. However, due to its potency, it should be used in low concentrations and may not be suitable for sensitive skin types. Cinnamomum Camphora Formosana Root Oil is particularly beneficial in products targeting oily skin, scalp issues, and hair growth concerns.
