Rain Forest Copaiba with Cocoa Butter and Tree Leaves Soap




Copaiba Oil is actually an oleoresin tapped from the Copaiba tree, native to the Amazon Rainforest. This resinous oil is rich in beta-carophylene, which promotes germ-free action and is an excellent anti-acne, skin-clearing agent. The resin is extracted from the trunk of the Copaiba tree through small holes that close naturally with time. To the natives of the Amazon, the Copaiba tree offers many natural health properties that have been utilized for years. While soap is essential for cleanliness and good health, it is not always recommended for facial care. Some soaps can dry the sensitive skin and leave behind a film that doesn't look or feel good. Copaiba, on the other hand, is soapless and gentle on dry, oily, and combination skin. It has been used for years by Brazilian women to enhance their exotic, tropical beauty, and in recent years, American women are discovering these secrets can help them look young and fresh.

Marc Schreuder, director of product formulation, recently traveled to Brazil to learn even more about copaiba essential oil, Young Living’s newest single. I want to share with you some excerpts from one of his e-mails to me while he was in the Amazon rain forest:

“…spent the evening chatting with local copaiba experts, who had very detailed information on copaiba, the harvesting, and the Indians. Luckily, the Indians who used to kill intruders and loggers aren’t any more, and with the proper introduction, should provide a warm welcome…”

“…copaiba trees are concentrated as part of a huge government-granted Indian reservation in the heart of the Amazon. Typically, you have one or two trees per hectare that produce between two to five kilos of oil per tree per year or. If you tap more oil, you get less in the subsequent years. It is a very renewable crop that is unique to the Amazon, but the trees have to be between 30 and 50 years old to produce good oil…”

“…it’s amazing to see that animals love to drink the copaiba, and wild boars have been seen digging their tusks into the trunk to drink out the copal.”
