Copaiba oil is one of the most renowned Amazonian oils. It is an exceptional member to the resin essential oil family. It is extracted from copaiba trees which grow in Brazil and other South American countries.

Reduces Inflammation

Copaiba oil is a key ingredient in cosmetic products including serums, moisturizers, soaps, creams, lotions, and perfumes. It is well-received for its pleasant woody aroma, and profound benefits to skin health. This oil contains large amounts of active terpenes called beta-caryophyllene, which interacts with human cannabinoid receptors in the body. When this interaction occurs, it produces a hormone called beta-endorphin that blocks the sensation of pain. Beta-caryophyllene is considered a potent anti-inflammatory agent that is also antimicrobial and antiseptic.

If you are acne-prone, copaiba oil can inhibit bacterial growth that causes those pesky pimples. Research shows that copaiba oil is able to inhibit bacterial growth. It can help prevent and treat blemishes, and even has the nutrients to tighten skin, improve appearance of scars, and reduce redness and swelling.

Alleviates Dry Skin Conditions

When you manage dry skin, you spend a lot of time desperately searching for hydration and nourishment. Copaiba oil is considered a powerhouse skincare ingredient because it can restore moisture and plumpness, relax and soothe irritated skin, and improve skin texture and tone. Chronic skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis can greatly benefit from copaiba oil’s properties that gently cleanse and reduce irritation when used topically. It is referred to as a natural emollient that retains moisture within the skin. It also infuses the skin with potent nutrients and compounds that work wonders for your overall skin health!
