COPAIBA OIL

Copaiba oil contains a significant amount of kaurenoic acid, a diterpene plant chemical that has been of scientific interest.

Copaiba is also the highest known plant source of another chemical named caryophyllene.

Caryophyllene is a well known plant chemical which has been documented in laboratory studies.

Many of copaiba’s traditional uses and tested biological actions are attributed to these two chemicals.
