Buy Copaiba Balsam Oil
Copaiba Balsam is extracted through steam distillation from the gum or resin of Copaifera officinalis, a tree native to Brazil and parts of South America. This oil is relatively lesser-known, and I'm still exploring its fascinating aroma and uses.
 
Aromatically, Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil has a deep, earthy, and grounding scent. It can serve as a fixative in natural fragrances, acting as a substitute for Oakmoss Absolute, which can cause skin sensitivities.
Emotionally and spiritually, Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil is calming, balancing, and grounding.
