    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.
