Dragon’s Blood Extract

Dragon’s blood extract is derived from the resin of the Croton lechleri tree found in the Amazon rainforest. This tree produces a deep red resin that has been traditionally used by indigenous tribes for its medicinal and healing properties.  Dragons Blood Extract is used in various skincare and cosmetic products for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin healing properties.

Description

Dragon’s Blood Liquid Extract – Standardized is a liquid blend of Dragon’s Blood extract and Propanediol produced through a unique manufacturing technology.

Obtained from the latex of the Croton lechleri tree, Dragon’s Blood extract offers a host of benefits for skin care. Soothing and astringent, this extract has been used for generations in traditional ethnobotany applications to help manage inflammation and encourage wound healing. Today, it is trending in a wide range of skin care products from masks and serums to lotions and creams. With a high concentration of polyphenols, which are known to be potent antioxidants, Dragon’s Blood Liquid Extract helps maintain the skin’s purity and promotes a fresh, rejuvenated appearance. Applied topically, this extract supports the skin’s natural barrier function, helping to lock in hydration and prevent absorption of unwanted elements. Additionally, its astringent properties help tone the skin for a bright look and a buoyant bounce.

With a plant-based origin, Propanediol is a biodegradable and petrochemical-free solvent that is NPA approved, making it an excellent corn sugar-derived alternative to petroleum-based Glycols for hair- and skincare formulations. It offers benefits and functionalities that include improved emollience, enhanced viscosity, non-irritating properties, exceptional sensory characteristics, clarity, and anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, among many more.

The characteristic color of this botanical extract imbues natural cosmetic formulations with its innate hue. This means that the product colors that were formerly possible to obtain only through the use of artificial and often objectionable constituents can now be achieved through plant-based ingredients that impart not only their beneficial, skin health-enhancing properties but also their individual natural colors. It is strongly recommended that small batch trials be conducted to determine the dosage required to achieve the desired shade imbued by the extract.
