Copaiba oil is distilled from the oleoresin of Copaifera trees native to the Amazon basin in Brazil. It is notable for its exceptionally high beta-caryophyllene content (up to 55%), a sesquiterpene that interacts with CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system — which is why it has attracted significant attention for inflammation and pain support.
