VITATEKA Camphor Spirit 10 % is a water-alcohol cosmetic product with camphor for external use. Unlike the oil version, the spirit texture is light, dries quickly on the skin and gives a familiar fresh, invigorating aroma, which is why camphor spirit has traditionally been used for rubbing and warming body care.

In this article we look at the composition, how and where to use camphor spirit, and what to keep in mind.

A simple, clear composition

The formula is as concise as it gets. According to the INCI it is water (Aqua), alcohol (Alcohol, 69 %) and camphor (Camphor, 10 %). The alcohol base gives a light, non-greasy texture that evaporates quickly from the skin, while camphor provides the recognisable aroma and feeling of freshness. No unnecessary additives — just a water-alcohol base and camphor.

Rubbing and warming body care

Camphor spirit is convenient for rubbing: thanks to the alcohol base it leaves no greasy film and dries quickly, leaving an invigorating aroma and a light feeling of warmth. It is convenient to use as part of home care rituals after a shower or physical activity, when you want a feeling of freshness and comfort.

How to use

Shake the bottle before use. Moisten a cotton pad with the product and smear or rub it into areas of the skin 2–3 times a day; camphor spirit is also applied to the skin as compresses. The duration of use is 7–10 days. The product is intended for external use only: avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes, and do not apply to damaged skin or to large areas of skin.

  • do not use in case of individual hypersensitivity to the ingredients;
