DL-Camphor USP

DL-Camphor USP is a high-purity, racemic terpenoid compound used as a topical counterirritant, mild analgesic, and aromatic agent in pharmaceutical and personal care formulations. Known for its cooling sensation and mild local anesthetic effect, DL-Camphor is commonly incorporated in ointments, creams, and inhalation products. DL-Camphor

• Is a USP-compliant racemic form of Camphor (DL-1,7,7-Trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one)
• Functions as a counterirritant, analgesic, and aromatic component
• Is suitable for topical ointments, rubs, balms, and vaporizing products
• Is used in over-the-counter analgesic, cough suppressant, and decongestant formulations
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and supporting technical data

DL-Camphor is a white, crystalline solid with a characteristic penetrating odor. The racemic mixture (containing both D- and L-Isomers) offers consistent physical properties and efficacy in topical applications, providing temporary relief of pain and inflammation through stimulation of nerve endings.

In pharmaceutical and personal care applications, DL-Camphor USP is used in:

• Topical analgesic preparations such as muscle rubs and pain-relief ointments
• Chest rubs and vaporizing balms for respiratory decongestion and cough suppression
• Antipruritic creams to reduce itching and irritation
• Inhalation therapies and liniments as a soothing aromatic and decongestant
• Aromatherapy and medicated patches for sensory stimulation and relief

DL-Camphor acts as a counterirritant by stimulating sensory nerve endings, which helps mask deeper musculoskeletal pain. It is often used in combination with menthol, eucalyptus oil, or Methyl Salicylate to enhance sensory and therapeutic effects.
