Capaiba Balsam Oil is a natural oleoresin essential oil extracted from the trunks of Copaifera species, primarily Copaifera officinalis, native to South America. This oil is obtained via tapping or sustainable extraction methods and is prized for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and analgesic properties. It has a sweet, woody, slightly balsamic aroma and is golden to light brown in color with a medium viscosity.

Copaiba Balsam Oil is rich in β-caryophyllene, a sesquiterpene known for its therapeutic effects, especially in skincare and wellness applications. It is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, aromatherapy, and pharmaceutical preparations, particularly those targeting pain, skin health, and inflammation.
