COPAIFERA RETICULATA BALSAM OIL ACETYLATED.

Avoid CAS 94266-43-0 / PERFUMING

Copaifera Reticulata Balsam Oil Acetylated is a derivative of Copaiba balsam oil, engineered for cosmetic applications. While its non-acetylated counterpart is recognized for a range of skin benefits including moisturization, anti-inflammation, and oil balancing, specific data for the acetylated form remains limited.

Moisturizing Anti-inflammatory Antiseptic Astringent Emollient Film Former

Science

Mechanism of Action

The mechanism of action for the *non-acetylated* Copaifera Reticulata Balsam Oil involves moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic effects. It also acts as an astringent, helping to firm the skin, minimize the appearance of wrinkles, and regulate excess sebum. Key components, notably beta-caryophyllene, are understood to engage with CB2 receptors within the endocannabinoid system, influencing pain, inflammation, and immune responses. It also functions as a film former for skin, hair, and nails. However, these mechanisms are primarily extrapolated from studies on the non-acetylated oil, and direct evidence for the acetylated form is not specified.
