Copaiba is steam distilled from the golden resin of the copaiba tree, which grows more than 30 metres tall in the tropical rainforests of South America. Communities in north and northeastern Brazil have used copaiba resin in traditional health practices since the 16th century, and today it is prized in natural soaps, creams and perfumes.

Its standout constituent is beta-caryophyllene (BCP), and copaiba contains the highest levels of BCP of any essential oil currently known. Massaged in with a carrier oil it is wonderfully soothing for tired muscles, a drop in moisturiser helps promote the look of a clear, smooth complexion, and diffused it brings a sense of calm when life is busy.

Aroma: Spicy, woody.

What the research says: Gertsch et al. (2008) found that beta-caryophyllene, the key compound in Copaiba, selectively binds the body's CB2 receptors, part of the endocannabinoid system, with a binding affinity of 155 nM, and that a 5 mg/kg oral dose markedly reduced inflammatory responses in mice. Read the study.

Prefer it pre-diluted? Copaiba Touch is a 10mL roll-on that blends Copaiba with fractionated coconut oil, ready to roll straight onto the skin. Perfect for handbags and bedside tables.
• Aromatic use: Add three to four drops to the diffuser of choice.
• Topical use: Combine one to two drops with a teaspoon of carrier oil and massage into the desired area. The Touch roll-on can be applied directly to help moisturise skin.
• Internal use: 15mL only. Add one or two drops to food or water.

Ways to use it
• Blend into a warming massage oil for tired muscles after a big day
• Add a drop to a facial moisturiser to promote the look of a clear, smooth complexion
• Diffuse when there is a lot going on and a calmer space is needed
• Roll the Touch onto dry areas, hands and cuticles

Cautions: Keep out of reach of children. Possible skin sensitivity. If pregnant, nursing or under a doctor's care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears and sensitive areas.
15mL: Copaiba oil (resin of Copaifera reticulata, officinalis, coriacea and langsdorffii).

10mL Touch roll-on: Fractionated coconut oil, Copaifera resin oil.

"After several weeks of use, I must say that this cup performs greatly. Like what others have said, this cup allows the coffee to lower in temperature which didn't colour the flavour of the coffee in a bad way. The flavours have been consistent from cup after cup. I've even put the cup through the greatest test of all - leave left over coffee in there for several hours. In most cups, that will forever taint the scent of the cup which will also alter the aromatics you experience while drinking from it. The leftover oils didn't seem to latch onto the cup too much, and whatever scent was left was removed by a simple wash with dish soap."

- Robert Agcaoili (Coffee Expert, blogger at gridwriter.com)

"I now use my Keep Cup every day at work. It keeps my soy or almond milk chai latte nicely warm, is great for the environment, and is very easy to clean - I put it in the work dishwasher overnight and take it out the next morning to reuse."

- Tony Robert (Auckland, New Zealand)

We’ve been on the lookout for the best ever nut milk bag for a few years now, and have finally found it! These fantastic Living Synergy Nut Milk Bags are a super handy, multi-purpose tool that will help you make fresh, living and nutritious milks from a variety of nuts, seeds, grains and legumes. Try your hand at homemade almond, cashew, sesame seed, brown rice, quinoa, oat and soy milks (some of our favs). You can also use these bags to make juice from fresh ingredients, by blending and straining your juice through the bag.

WANT A FREE NUT MILK BAG? Everyone who orders a Vitamix blender will also be sent a free Nut Milk Bag to help them with their homemade nut milk goodness! Simply enter the code NUTTY at checkout.

Our fabulous Living Synergy Nut Milk Bags are of the highest quality materials, generously sized, fine meshed, strong, durable, easy to clean and super quick drying. They are a wonderful accessory for a Thermomix, Vitamix or any other powerful blender, and can be used wherever you would normally use cheesecloth or muslin in cooking. We know they’ll quickly become your favourite plant-milk making accessory too.

Each set comes with 1 x Nut Milk Bag and 1 x A4 colour instruction and recipes booklet.
Use for straining nut milks, juices or anywhere else you'd use a cheesecloth or muslin.

Simply place your nut milk bag over a bowl or jug, pour your blended nut or plant milk into the bag, then lift the bag and squeeze firmly to allow all liquid to filter through the bag. Store your freshly squeezed plant-milk in the fridge for up to four days. Meanwhile keep any nut, oat or rice pulp from inside the bag, and add to cookies, biscuits, cakes, muffins, or just in your morning bircher muesli!

"Jen’s Nut Milk Bags are the best I've found. Very easy to use, easy to wash, high quality and long lasting. I highly recommend them for squeezing the pulp out of nut and coconut milks, rice milk, oat milk, chia milk, and even for taking the pulp out of juices if you prefer your juice without all the fibre."

- Jo Whitton, author of Quirky Cooking Blog (Queensland, Australia)

"I made the almond milks on stage at the expo ... it was very cool using your bags. I love the fact that they are sturdy, wash well and dry fast. People were amazed how easy to was to make their own milks! I will recommend yours to people as they are the best I have used."
