Dragon's Blood Extract (Croton Lechleri)
The "Dragon's Blood" is the name given to the red-colored sap extracted from the trees nicknamed “Dragonniers". These fascinating trees with an unusual appearance (similar to a giant umbrella) have an exceptional longevity and many properties.
Dragon's Blood extract is mainly extracted from the Croton Lechleri species, a medium-sized tree found in Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Ecuador, which can grow up to 1000 meters above sea level. In Peru, it has been dubbed "liquid band aid" because it is traditionally applied on sores to stop bleeding or to soothe insect bites, itching, chapped skin, venous ulcers, and burns.
Also known as one of nature's finest botanicals, Dragon's blood is a red-sap rich in "taspine" that aids in reducing the appearance of redness and irritation, revealing a firmer skin look.
