Copaíba
PRESENTATION
Like Andiroba oil, Copaíba is an Amazonian oil most commonly used by local populations.
The particularity of this oil is that it comes straight from the trunk of the tree. Not all Copaíba trees offer this oil, only those that have survived a termite attack. Imagine a tree in the forest trying to defend itself against numerous microbes, fungi, viruses and bacteria.
Thanks to its in-depth knowledge, Dumato proposes different types of Copaíba: Copaifera officinalis, a Copaifera guianensis (Guianas), Copaifera multijuga Hayne e a Copaifera langsdorffii.
Copaíba oil is known worldwide for its skin protection, moisturising and recovery properties.
