Wild Copaiba Skin Soother

Both Copaiba and Shea Butter have a number of healing properties for the skin that can help with various skin conditions. Copaiba oil is rich in terpenes and possesses powerful anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. These properties make it useful in reducing inflammation, fighting bacterial or fungal infections, and promoting wound healing. It can be helpful in treating acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and other skin irritations.

 

Shea butter, on the other hand, is a natural moisturizer that is rich in vitamins A and E, as well as essential fatty acids. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, and can help to soothe and protect the skin. Its moisturizing effects can also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and it can be used to treat conditions such as dry skin, sunburn, and scars.

 

When used together, copaiba and shea butter can work synergistically to provide even more benefits to the skin. The combination can help to reduce inflammation, soothe and protect the skin, and promote wound healing, making it a great option for those with various skin conditions.

If you have specific skin concerns, such as dryness or inflammation, you can adjust the application of the Lemon & Copaiba Replenishing Cream accordingly. For dry or dehydrated skin, apply a slightly thicker layer of the cream to the face and neck, paying extra attention to any particularly dry areas. For sensitive or inflamed skin, apply a small amount of the cream to the affected area and gently pat it into the skin, being careful not to rub or irritate the skin further. The natural, soothing properties of the Copaiba oil in the cream can help to reduce redness and inflammation, while the lemon oil helps to brighten and even out the complexion. Use morning and night as part of your daily skincare routine. 

When I first encountered Copaiba in the Amazon, I fell in love with this unique aromatic and oily resin. It has incredible healing properties. Drawn to plant medicines, I was immediately fascinated by this resin that had been used for centuries by indigenous people for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

 

As I researched and learned more about Copaiba and its therapeutic constituents, I knew it was a "super" ingredient for any home apothecary. However, given the scarcity and preciousness of the resin, I also recognized the need to use it in a sustainable and long-lasting way.

My first experiment with Copaiba was creating a formula focused on its analgesic properties. I wanted to develop a rub to help alleviate the discomfort of tender breasts, achy joints, and sore muscles. I found that the Copaiba was effective in temporarily relieving pain and soothing and calming my skin.

 

I instantly recommended Copaiba to friends or family who told me about their skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. I developed custom blends that combined the potent effects of Copaiba with other natural ingredients like lemon petitgrain and rosewood oil to create a healing cream that could soothe and nourish irritated skin.

 

I hope that this formula is a friend along your path to healing. 

Copiaba has a mild, woody, slightly balsamic scent with a hint of sweetness. Shea Butter has a nutty and earthy aroma, with a slightly sweet undertone. 

To store Copiaba shea butter cream, it is best to keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This will help to maintain its consistency and prevent any separation or melting. It is also important to keep the lid tightly sealed to prevent any contaminants from entering the product. Generally, it can last up to 12 months when stored properly.

If you experience any adverse reactions, stop using the product immediately.  And always be gentle while applying cream around your eye area to avoid tugging or pulling at the delicate skin. Always avoid getting the product in your eyes.
