Copaiba Essential Oil
Product description
With copaiva oil, dōTERRA offers another excellent resin oil. Copaiva is extracted from copaiba trees in the Amazon rainforest. The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation from oleoresin, a substance composed of resin and essential oil.
Copaiva essential oil has been used since the 16th century by the indigenous people of northern and north-eastern Brazil to promote health. It is mainly used in cosmetic products such as soap, cream, lotion and perfume. Copaiva oil is applied to the skin to promote a smooth, even complexion.
How to use the oil
- Apply copaiva oil to the skin together with a carrier oil or moisturiser to reduce the appearance of minor skin blemishes and irritations.
- Copaiva blends well with Roman Chamomile, Cedar, Sandalwood, Frankincense or Yang-Ylang. Simply choose your favourite oil and don’t create a personal fragrance – fill into a roll-on bottle and top up with fractionated coconut oil.
- For a soothing bath, add one to two drops of the oil to the bubble bath before adding it to the bath water.
