Blending note
  • Has a mild, woody, and slightly balsamic aroma
  • Because its scent is gentle and not overpowering, it is considered a base note and an excellent "fixative"—meaning it helps the scents of other oils last longer.
  • It is often described as a "magnifier" because it tends to enhance the properties of whatever it is blended with

Do you know? Copaiba is one of the few essential oils extracted via a “tapping” process (similar to maple syrup) rather than traditional steam distillation of harvested leaves
------------
Contraindication Generally very safe, but should be diluted for topical use; avoid use if the oil has oxidized, as it may cause skin sensitization
