E-197 - Camphor, White (Cinnamonum camphora)
Oil can appear clear to very pale yellow but avoid Camphor oils labeled "Yellow" or "Brown" (both appear very dark to the eye), as they are considered toxic and carcinogenic. Camphor oils are incompatible with homeopathic treatments and cancel their effect. Best used sparingly. Good moth repellent – saturate a small cloth, pad or tissue for a practical use.
