Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil is extracted via steam distillation from the oleoresin (a clear yellow resin) accumulated in cavities within the trunk. It is obtained by making incisions in the tree trunk.
Although this resin is referred to as a balsam, in reality it is more like a botanical oil. Copaiba oil has been reported to have antibacterial activity. It can be used as a scenting agent in perfumes, soaps, creams, bubble baths and lotions. Copaiba is believed to have diuretic, disinfectant and stimulant properties.
Copaiba Balsam blends well with essential oils such as: Cedarwood, Citrus Oils, Clary Sage, Vanilla, Ylang Ylang
