Copaiba essential oil is extracted from the trunk of the Copaifera tree, which is abundant in areas of South America. To produce pure oil, oleaginous resin is required, which is obtained by gently incising the bark. The raw material collected in this way is then steam-distilled, so most of the resin's valuable properties are preserved in a very stable (and convenient) form.

Copaiba oil - properties

Copaiba oil is primarily known for its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity - it inhibits the activity of inflammatory mediators and reduces the amount of oxygen radicals. With regular use, it tightens, moisturizes and improves the condition of the skin, reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation. The product is very useful in the treatment of many dermatological diseases (e.g. rashes, eczema, acne).

Copaiba has an antiseptic effect. Cleanses wounds and prevents infection - even a small amount of the product effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria and microorganisms, which significantly helps and speeds up the healing process. When used topically, the oil reduces joint and muscle pain (related to condition or tension) and improves circulation.

It is also used in aromatherapy. The smell is complex, rich - woody and spicy, sweet, but at the same time delicate - can remind the aroma of honey or cinnamon. The oil improves mood, has a calming effect, reduces anxiety and stress. Interestingly, it is sometimes used as an aphrodisiac in many cultures, effective and natural.
