Copaiba Balsam Oleoresin

Copaiba balsam oleoresin comes from tropical evergreen trees in the rainforests of Brazil, where the resin is tapped in a wildcrafted, environmentally sustainable way. It pours like a dense essential oil, thick and slow, with a delicate, lightly earthy aroma.

The chemistry is almost entirely sesquiterpenes, right around 90% of the oil on average. β-caryophyllene leads by a wide margin, typically 39-66% in our batches, followed by germacrene D (about 4-13%) and α-caryophyllene (about 5-10%). That heavy, low-volatility profile is part of why Copaifera officinalis smells so quiet and grounded. Its gentle presence helps settle the mind, and it offers steady support through the cold seasons. A lovely choice if you lean toward subtle aromas.

Every batch we bring in is independently GC-MS tested, and each batch's full report lives on this page for you to read.
