Halo42 was born from a deeply personal journey of overcoming health challenges and embracing transformation. When I was diagnosed with COPD and faced severe inflammation throughout my body, I sought a natural solution to aid in my recovery. That search led me to discover copaiba oil, a plant-based powerhouse renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties.

This oil didn’t just heal my skin—it helped me recover from the inside out. Its calming and rejuvenating properties became a cornerstone of my wellness routine. Inspired by my own healing, I knew I wanted to share this incredible ingredient with the world. Today, it’s the star of our skincare line, helping countless others rise above life’s challenges and by empowering active lifestyles

At Halo42, skincare is about more than beauty—it’s about healing, transformation, and empowerment. Our products are designed to do more than just nourish your skin; they’re crafted to renew your spirit and inspire confidence. At the heart of our formulations is Copaiba Balsam Oil (Copaifera langsdorffii)—a potent, natural ingredient that has transformed my own skincare journey and become a beacon of hope for others.

Nature’s Gift: The Origins of Copaiba



Sustainably sourced from Brazil, copaiba oil is extracted using steam distillation—a traditional method that preserves its purity and effectiveness. Our multi-source strategy ensures that the copaiba oil used in Halo42 products is consistently high in quality and free from seasonal variations.

How I Use Copaiba in My Everyday Life as an Athlete


As an athlete and wellness advocate, I’ve built my life around pushing boundaries and embracing challenges. Training for Ironman competitions under the hot Florida sun is demanding—not just on my body but also on my skin. The heat, humidity, and hours spent outdoors can take a toll, leaving my skin inflamed, dry, and exposed to environmental stressors.

Copaiba oil has become my secret weapon for recovery and skincare. Here’s how it helps me stay youthful and resilient, even while living an active, outdoor lifestyle:


1. Soothing Inflammation After Intense Training

Training for triathlons often leads to inflammation—whether it’s sore muscles or red, irritated skin from hours spent in the sun. Copaiba oil’s high concentration of beta-caryophyllene, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound, helps reduce swelling and calm irritation. After a long run or bike ride, I apply it to areas of my skin prone to redness and discomfort, and the relief is immediate.


2. Recovery for Overworked Muscles

Post-workout recovery is crucial for any athlete, and copaiba plays a significant role in mine. Its ability to calm the body’s inflammatory response helps me bounce back faster, reducing downtime and allowing me to train consistently. Whether I’m using it in a balm or as part of my skincare routine, copaiba supports my body’s natural healing processes.

3. Youthful Skin Despite Sun Exposure

Spending hours in the Florida sun can accelerate skin aging, but copaiba oil helps counteract these effects. Its antioxidant properties protect my skin from oxidative stress while promoting hydration and elasticity. Using Halo42’s copaiba-infused products twice daily keeps my skin moisturized, smooth, and resilient against environmental damage.

The Science Behind Copaiba’s Benefits


Copaiba oil’s effectiveness lies in its unique chemical composition. Rich in beta-caryophyllene, this oil interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and support overall wellness. Its versatility makes it ideal for addressing a range of skin and health concerns, from acne and redness to muscle soreness and sensitivity.


Benefits Backed by Nature:


  • Hydration and Repair: Copaiba oil locks in moisture and helps repair damaged skin.
  • Anti-Aging Properties: Its antioxidants combat free radicals, reducing the signs of aging.
  • Soothing for Sensitive Skin: Gentle enough for all skin types, it calms irritation and redness.
  • Supports Natural Recovery: Reduces inflammation and promotes faster healing.

Every day is a blessing for me—a second chance at life since standing at death's doorway. Over the past seven years, creating Halo42 alongside Tim Quinn has been a journey of grace, healing, and purpose beyond anything I could have imagined.


When Tim met me, I was three years clean from a dark chapter as a 230-pound, suicidal heroin addict. By the grace of God and embracing a lifestyle of health and wellness, I reclaimed my life and found hope again.


The name "Halo42" draws from the beauty of an upside-down rainbow—also known as a halo rainbow—visible at 42 degrees. This rare phenomenon symbolizes the hope I found through a shift in perspective, and it is my mission to share that hope with you through our products and my love for writing.
