The chemical composition of the oil-resin of Copaiba is thought to have approximately 72 sesquiterpenes (hydrocarbons) and 28 diterpenes (carboxylic acids), and the oil is composed by 50% of each of these terpenes. Diterpenes are attributed in the majority for therapeutic applications, a scientifically proven fact. Sesquiterpenes are partially responsible for the aroma the oil – resin and also have antiulcer, antiviral and anti rhinovirus properties.
ATTENTION: This is not Copaiba essential oil, a blend or an extract. It is the pure resin of the tree, only filtered. If using it pure test on a small patch of skin first. I usually use it in blends at 50% maximum.
