Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil is a gentle, resinous, and deeply soothing oil tapped from the trunks of Copaifera trees native to the Amazon rainforest. Known as the “balm of peace” , it has been used by indigenous peoples for centuries for its healing, anti-inflammatory, and grounding properties.
Its aroma is warm, soft, and honey-woody , with delicate undertones of vanilla, resin, and sweet earth. In perfumery, Copaiba serves as a natural fixative and blending base , bringing smoothness and longevity to compositions. In aromatherapy, it is celebrated for its calming, restorative, and comforting nature.
At Herbsmetics, Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil is introduced in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket as an example of how resinous ingredients create both emotional and physical balance — bridging the botanical and spiritual worlds.
