Get to Know
PRODUCT BACKGROUND
Copaiba essential oil is the product of distilling the gum resin tapped from the Brazilian
Copaifera reticulata
tree, native to the Amazon region of the country. The copaiba tree grows 50-100 feet high and produces tiny white flowers and small nut-like fruit, neither of which are used in the production of the essential oil. Copaiba has been used for various purposes in areas where it grows natively since at least the 16th century. Beyond its use in Young Living essential oil blends, Copaiba is used in many soaps, lotions, and perfumes.
