About this product


The first cold evening of autumn, a lamp lit early, and a scent of warm resin and honey drifting through the room. Copaiba is that kind of company: warm and welcoming, reminiscent of vanilla, but with more depth.

It is distilled from the raw resin of Copaifera officinalis in Brazil. You will find touches of the resinous tang of Cistus, softened by a honeyed warmth. Unlike most oils drawn from resins it sits in the heart of a blend rather than the base, so it is not terribly long lasting: a scent for the moment you are in.

Details

  • Botanical name: Copaifera officinalis
  • Origin: Brazil
  • Method: steam-distilled from raw resin
  • Note: heart
  • Shelf life: about 2 to 3 years after opening

How to use

Add it to warming blends, or use it as an affordable extender for Cistus in a massage blend. Avoid broken skin: copaiba has not been tested and its sensitization potential is not yet established, though it is thought to be less sensitizing than the crude resin. It is non-irritating and non-toxic at normal dilutions. Store it in the dark, refrigerated if you can, and decant a half-full bottle into a smaller, full one to extend its life.

A warm bottle to open as the year turns.
