- For psoriasis & minor skin conditions
- May reduce skin inflammation
- 100% pure Copaiba oil
Copaiba trees are native to the South American rainforests and grow up to 18 to 30 meters in height. The resin that accumulates in the cavities within the tree trunk is harvested by tapping or drilling holes into the wood, much like rubber trees are tapped.
On the Rio Solimoes in Northwest Amazonia, Copaiba oil or resin is used by indigenous tribes for skin sores, psoriasis and other minor skin problems.
There are many active constituents in Copaiba oil - but the most important are probably the sesquiterpenes and diterpenes (up to 50-90% of the resin may be sesquiterpenes). Research has shown that these can reduce inflammation on the skin - and for this reason Copaiba oil is often used as an ingredient in soaps and skin lotions.
