Copaiba Balsam Oleoresin (Copaifera officinalis)

Certified Organic Copaiba Oleoresin Balm – a thicker, fluid form of the resin; it uses similarly to essential oils, but has a gentler, "softer" profile that helps calm the mind. It soothes sensitive areas, promotes skin comfort, and promotes relaxation after exercise. A delicate, honeyed, woody aroma, suitable for those who prefer subtle scents.
Copaiba offers powerful support during colds and is also an excellent choice for those who appreciate more subdued aromas. Copaiba is an exceptionally versatile oleoresin: for diffusion, grounding, massage, and cosmetics – it is calming, regenerative, and very well tolerated.

One of the best massage resins : it has anti-inflammatory, tissue-soothing and relaxing properties.

Our wild-harvested Copaiba Balsam is sustainably sourced from tropical evergreen trees (commonly known as copal or copaiba) in the rainforests of Brazil.

What is oleoresin and how does it differ from classic essential oils?
Copaiba balm (oleoresin/oleoresin) is a natural, liquid resin containing a volatile fraction. Unlike classic essential oils (e.g., lavender or lemon), which retain only the volatile fraction after distillation, oleoresin also retains resinous components (diterpenes).
What does this mean? Oleoresin is thicker and more balsamic than distilled oil (Resin Oil), and thinner than the resin fraction itself after evaporation of the volatile portion (i.e., "pure resin" without sesquiterpenes).

How to use?

• For skin care - after dilution: face 0.5–2%, body/spot 3–5% in a carrier (serum, balm, ointment).
• For aromatherapy – ideal for massage and passive inhalation.
• As a therapeutic raw material – thanks to the high content of beta-caryophyllene, it has anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties.

Offered Copaiba is a pure, unprocessed, full-spectrum oleoresin (with diterpenes) obtained from a specific species ( Copaifera officinalis , Brazil, wildcrafted/tapped). This material has a richer composition than standard, distilled Copaifera Resin Oil or blends of Copaifera spp.
