Why Copaiba is the Secret Super-Ingredient Your Underarms Never Knew They Needed

When we think of skincare heroes, flashy ingredients like charcoal, tea tree, or lavender
often take the spotlight. But quietly, gently, and powerfully—Copaiba has entered
the chat.
Sourced from the resin of trees native to the Amazon, Copaiba essential oil has been
used for centuries by indigenous cultures for its healing, soothing, and purifying powers.
And now? It’s transforming the way we think about deodorant.
If you’re looking for a deodorant that goes beyond odour control—something that
calms, restores, and protects—this unsung botanical is about to become your new
obsession.

Copaiba (pronounced coh-pie-EE-buh) is a resin tapped sustainably from the trunks of
Copaifera trees in South America. It’s steam-distilled into an oil rich in β- caryophyllene, a powerhouse compound that makes it:

• Anti-inflammatory
• Antibacterial
• Skin-calming
• Restorative and regenerative

That’s right. Copaiba isn’t just safe for your skin—it’s actively good for it.

Let’s be honest: our underarms go through a lot.
Shaving. Sweating. Friction. Clothing rub. And for many of us? Sensitivity.

Copaiba in deodorant offers gentle, plant-based relief that makes all the difference:

✅ Reduces redness after shaving
✅ Calms irritation from friction or razor burn
✅ Supports skin healing over time
✅ Neutralizes odour-causing bacteria naturally
✅ Smells softly earthy—like rain-soaked wood and warm resin

Unlike synthetic ingredients that merely mask odour, Copaiba helps balance the skin microbiome—supporting the body’s natural detox process rather than blocking it.

> “Your deodorant should protect your skin, not just your scent.”

In our Original Blend, Copaiba is paired with frankincense and Roman chamomile—two other skin-loving ingredients—to create a formula that is:

• Soothing to sensitive underarms
• Gentle enough for daily use (even post-shave)
• Highly effective at odour control
• Completely free from aluminium, baking soda, and artificial fragrance

This is deodorant reimagined as ritual—a daily act of care that smells beautiful andfeels even better.

Everyone. But especially:

• Those with sensitive skin
• Anyone who experiences razor burn
• Parents looking for a gentle first deodorant for teens
• Wellness warriors wanting cleaner, calmer options
• People with eczema-prone or reactive skin

Choosing a deodorant may seem like a small act. But when it’s infused with the wisdom
of the rainforest, the purity of nature, and the intention of true care—it becomes
powerful.

Copaiba is more than an ingredient. It’s a gift.
