FAQ
Is the beta-caryophyllene in copaiba present in other EOs?
Yes, in black pepper, clove, or ylang-ylang, but rarely at such high concentrations. It is the high proportion (60-90%) that uniquely characterizes copaiba.
Which EOs go well with copaiba in diffusion?
Sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, and vetiver pair perfectly for earthy and enveloping synergies.
Is copaiba a heavy EO scent-wise?
Its balsamic scent is intense but not heavy in small quantities. 3 drops are sufficient for diffusion. Combine it with fresh notes (lemon, bergamot) to lighten the blend.
