Copaiba Balm

Copaiba Balsam, Copaifera officinalis (1280), is a traditional remedy from the South American rain forests. The resin is harvested from wild trees by tapping (similar to the way rubber trees are tapped). The oil is rarely used on its own as an aromatherapy oil. It is most frequently used in blends, where its warm honeyed base note acts as a fixative for the lighter top notes. It is soothing, balancing and uplifting, and blends well with Rose, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang. This oil is the pure resin from the tree.
