I would like to ask about Copaiba Oil:

  1. Can Copaiba Oil be applied directly to the skin? Can it be mixed with 2-3 other types of oils? Will it clog pores?
  2. Is the Copaiba Oil from your shop edible, or is it only cosmetic grade?

Answer

Information Regarding Copaiba Oil

Thank you for your questions about Copaiba Oil.

Regarding your questions:

  1. Direct Application and Mixing: Generally, Copaiba Oil can be applied directly to the skin or mixed with other carrier oils. Mixing with 2-3 other oils is a common practice to dilute potent oils, combine benefits, or improve texture. Copaiba Oil is often considered non-comedogenic, meaning it is less likely to clog pores, but individual skin reactions can vary.

  2. Edible Grade: I was unable to find a product specifically named "Copaiba Oil" in the shop's database using the search tool. Therefore, I cannot confirm if the shop sells Copaiba Oil or its specific grade (cosmetic vs. food grade). It is crucial to use cosmetic-grade oils for skin application.

  3. Serum Formulation: Since I couldn't confirm the availability or specific properties of Copaiba Oil from the shop, I can suggest a general oil serum formula using other popular and skin-friendly oils found in our database that you might consider mixing with a cosmetic-grade Copaiba Oil if you have it. A simple oil serum can be made by combining carrier oils. For example:

    • Jojoba Oil: Known for its similarity to skin's natural sebum, non-greasy feel, and non-comedogenic properties.
    • Sweet Almond Oil: A moisturizing oil rich in vitamins, suitable for various skin types.
    • Fractionated Coconut Oil: A light, non-greasy oil that is easily absorbed and works well as a carrier.

    You could create a serum using a blend of these oils, adjusting ratios based on desired feel and benefits. If you have a cosmetic-grade Copaiba Oil, you could add a small percentage (e.g., 1-5%) to this blend. Always patch test any new oil or blend on a small area of skin before applying it widely.

  • Please note: The availability and specific grade of Copaiba Oil from the shop cannot be confirmed based on the search results.*
