Overview Copaiba Balsam Our Copaiba Balsam has a somewhat sweet, mild, soft woody, slightly spicy-peppery aroma with modest tenacity. It is known as one of the most inexpensive natural fixatives; indeed, its main use in perfumery is for that purpose.1 However, its lengthy history of use by indigenous peoples is rich and extensive, portraying a veritable host of applications.
The stately Copaibas are impressive, densely branched, leguminous trees found mainly in South America with more than 35 species that have adapted to the continent’s unique terrain. When tapped, in the same manner as Sugar Maple trees, they yield a thin, clear and colorless oily resin that thickens and darkens upon contact with air. The balsamic resin, similar in consistency to Sandalwood oil, is collected for several days after which the tap is removed and the hole sealed with clay; the tapped trees are left to rest for three years between extractions. The abundant resin (up to 40 liters annually2) may be filtered for use as lamp oil or as fuel for diesel engines, hence the nickname ‘diesel tree’. Copaiba Balsam is preferred by some to the distilled oil, as it doesn’t require branches or whole trees to be cut, but more importantly, it contains vital diterpenes that do not appear in the essential oil.
The balsamic oil of Copaifera langsdorffii (Copaiba) is composed primarily of the heavier sesquiterpene and diterpene hydrocarbons, and the dominant compound, beta-caryophyllene. It is well suited in formulas for chest and muscle rubs, calming massage blends, skincare and aftershaves, or as a versatile fixative middle to base note in perfumery.

使用純露的注意事項
關於氣味：
純露是純天然蒸餾產物，會散發著植物的草本氣味，沒法和那些添加了香精的護膚品相比，甚至可能有“酸酸的”味道。這是正常現象，並非產品質量問題。可以放心使用。
純露保存期：
純露是比較穩定的，加上出廠的時候會在嚴格的消毒條件下灌裝，所以在不開封的前提下，只要正常存放，可以按標示的保質期來使用。
保存方法：
放置於陰涼乾燥的地方，避免陽光照射。使用後要蓋緊瓶蓋，避免純露內有效成分揮發。
瓶內有“東西”：
如果是聚合物/絮狀物，搖一搖會散開，就是正常現象。
