Turmeric essential oil - warm, earthy, woody scent is believed to help uplift, energize, comfort, and strengthen the body and mind.  Used on the skin it is believed to cleanse, clarify, smooth, calm, invigorate, and brighten the skin, generally support skin health, remove excess natural skin oil, diminish the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles, improve the skin’s resiliency, moisturize dryness to alleviate itchiness and exfoliate to remove dead cells and reveal new skin, which can enhance natural radiance and promote a supple, healthy, revitalized appearance.

Taken internally, turmeric powder is a proven anti-inflammatory.  This flowering member of the Ginger family is largely grown in India, the Turmeric plant is also said to have been used as early as 4000 years ago as a medicinal substance as well as a spiritual and ceremonial object. (2)

Copaiba - the main chemical constituent is beta-caryophyllene, a phytocannabinoid. A cannabinoid is the name used for anything that interacts with the endocannabinoid system. This system in your body is responsible for helping to regulate the inflammatory system, immune function, sleep, pain receptors, hormones, and more. In short, the effect Copaiba can have on your health and wellness is vastly intricate, dynamic, and significant. (3)  When blended into a facial moisturizer it reduces the appearance of blemishes and keeps skin healthy-looking and clear.  In addition to everything Copaiba can do on its own, the oil has a unique ability to enhance the absorption of other essential oils when applied topically. Better absorption means better results, no matter what results you’re looking for or which oil you choose.
