What are Copaifera and Carapa?

Used topically, copaifera and andiroba oils offer many benefits to the skin. In addition to their healing properties – from soothing irritations and sores to relieving bug bites and cuts – these oils are used in cosmetics produced in Brazil. The skin is rejuvenated and made to look younger. When skin is hydrated, it is healthy and more elastic. Brazilian women depend upon such products to keep them looking beautiful in the hot, constant sun.
Are there side effects to using Copaifera and Carapa?
