Native to the Amazon rainforest, copaiba is an essential oil extracted from the resin of the copaiba tree, sustainably harvested in Brazil. Used for centuries in traditional medicine, it is valued for its potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Copaiba oil is commonly applied to the skin to promote a clear complexion and support wound healing. Its warm, woody aroma is also believed to help reduce feelings of anxiety and promote relaxation. Some studies suggest it may aid in pain relief, digestive support, and overall immune health. Due to its high concentration of beta-caryophyllene, copaiba is often compared to CBD oil for its calming and therapeutic effects.
