Copaiba oil, derived from the resin of the Copaifera tree, offers a multitude of benefits in the skincare industry. It is well know and widely used for it's skin health and well-being applications. The benefits of Copaiba Oil can be attributed to its composition. Copaiba oil is rich in sesquiterpenes (volatile fraction) and diterpenes (resinous fraction). The antiinflammatory activity was attributed to hydrocarbons and sesquiterpenes. The most important sesquiterpene in the composition of the oil is β-caryophyllene, the active ingredient responsible for the distinctive aroma, and is the compound capable of modulating inflammatory processes, reducing inflammation, in addition to promoting a feeling of relaxation. This sensation is similar to that of the active cannabidiol, found in the Cannabis sativa species, which binds to the cannabinoid receptor, causing dependence. However, β-caryophyllene is able to exert psycho-mimetic effects, treating, relaxing and causing a feeling of well-being, acting on the central nervous system (CB-1), without binding to the cannabinoid receptor, that is, without causing dependency. Commercially sold copaiba oil resins are a thick, clear liquid with a color ranging from pale yellow to light golden brown to dark brown with unmistakable woody and smooth aroma.
