Copal Santo Resin
Copal Santo, also called Mexican Black Copal, is a gorgeous, fragrant resin from the Bursera copallifera tree in Southern Mexico.
$9.00 - $331.00
Mexican Black Copal, called Copal Santo locally, is a traditional Mexican incense resin used in rites, rituals and homes for hundreds, if not thousands of years.
Copal Santo has a vibrant sweet, slightly fruity intensity with a unique caramel undertone.
Throughout Mesoamerica and South America, every region has its black and white Copal resins for ceremony and home.
I must admit that this Copal, from the Bursera copallifera tree, is new to me. So don't feel bad if you have never come across it.
Bursera copallifera is one of over 80 species of Bursera trees in Mexico, and many of them yield a fragrant resin.
Bursera Copallifera is a member of the Burseracaea family of trees. They are also called The "Torchwood" trees and the Incense tree family. It is related to Frankincense, Myrrh, Elemi and many other fragrant resin-bearing trees used for incense and perfume.
As with many other resins of the Burseracaea family, Copal Santo is also used in traditional medicine. It is often dissolved in oil and used to treat sore muscles, joints, and various skin conditions.
I look forward to distilling an essential oil of this resin soon. Stay tuned!

It’s beautiful! Noticed the caramel first, then the fruitiness came in, and I’d swear I was smelling menthol after that for a short while. Finally mellowed into something soft, warm and leaves a really gentle n inviting atmosphere. Again as always fresh, fast and friendly- big thanks!

This is so very uplifting! The light lemony, soft pine brightness rounded with a touch of honey sweetness... Very nice indeed. Thanks again Dan!

Late night review after putting some of this beautiful Bursera Copallifera resin on the coal. The fragrance is uplifting and bright, there’s some honey, lemon, and an amazing floral/woody fragrance, the floral one being more pronounced on the electric burner at a controlled temperature. Copals are probably my favorite resins to burn on a coal, while storax and benzoin truly shine on the electric incense burner, in my personal opinion. This copal has definitely won me over when it comes to resins and coal. I highly suggest the pucks Dan has in stock, the mini pucks I bought from here work amazingly.

The perfect resin for this time of year - very cleansing for the home environment as the seasons get colder.

Ich bin begeistert! Die Qualität der Räucherstoffe ist excellent, hier findet man wahre Schätze und es gab für mich auch einiges neu zu entdecken. Ich finde auch das Artwork der verpackung sehr ansprechend. Was mich auch sehr überrascht hat war die schnelle Lieferzeit von Kanada nach Deutschland. Es hat nicht einmal eine Woche gedauert bis das Paket bei mir war. Vielen Lieben Dank nach Kanada
