What is Dragon’s Blood?
Dragon’s Blood is a deep red botanical resin harvested from the Amazonian tree Croton lechleri. When applied topically, the liquid resin naturally dries into a lightweight protective film. Traditionally used in rainforest communities, modern formulations explore topical and digestive applications.
How does Dragon’s Blood form a protective barrier?
When exposed to air, Dragon’s Blood resin polymerizes, shifting from translucent red to a deeper film. This creates a flexible surface layer that helps protect the area while remaining breathable.
What compounds are found in Dragon’s Blood?
Extracts of Croton lechleri contain naturally occurring compounds such as taspine, proanthocyanidins, and polyphenols. The concentration of these compounds depends on extraction method and formulation.
FAQ
How is Dragon’s Blood harvested?
Our Dragon’s Blood is cultivated from carefully grown seedlings rather than harvested from wild forests. Trees are nurtured under controlled, responsible growing conditions and harvested at their biological prime to ensure optimal resin quality and potency.
This cultivation-first approach protects wild tree populations, prevents overharvesting, and allows for consistent, traceable sourcing. By growing from seedlings and harvesting at the right stage of maturity, we prioritize sustainability, quality control, and long-term ecosystem health.
This is a key point of differentiation: we don’t rely on opportunistic extraction — we practice intentional cultivation.
