Massage for tired muscles
Copaiba is a popular choice in diluted massage blends for sore, tired muscles and stiff joints after a long day or a workout.
Gentle on skin
Its mild scent and gentle nature make it easy to add to facial oils and balms, including blends for blemish-prone skin.
Rich in beta-caryophyllene
This batch is 55.28% beta-caryophyllene, a terpene researchers have studied because it binds to the body's CB2 receptors. Copaiba contains no CBD or THC.
A calm, grounding aroma
Diffused, the soft woody scent suits evening routines, meditation and quiet time.
A natural fixative
As a base note, copaiba slows the evaporation of lighter oils and helps a perfume or blend last longer. It also softens sharp oils like clove and cassia.
