Question 1

Does Dragon’s Blood clog pores?

Accepted Answer

Dragon’s Blood resin dries into a thin surface film rather than a heavy, oil-based coating. When applied in a thin layer, it is not considered highly occlusive like petroleum-based products.

As with any topical substance, skin type and amount used can influence how it feels or performs.

Question 2

Does it sting?

Accepted Answer

Dragon’s Blood is generally well tolerated when used topically. Because it is a natural plant resin, although not typical, some individuals or animals with sensitive or compromised skin may experience a mild, temporary sensation upon application.

Apply to clean skin and discontinue use if irritation persists.
For pets and horses, follow label directions and consult a veterinarian if needed.

Question 3

Can it be used daily?

Accepted Answer

Topical Dragon’s Blood products may be applied as directed on the label. Many formulations are intended for regular external use.

Internal-use products must always be used according to their licensed dosage instructions.

Consult a physician or veterinarian for prolonged or specialized use.

Question 4

Is it diluted?

Accepted Answer

Hello Rainforest Dragon’s Blood topical products use pure, additive-free resin unless otherwise stated.

Licensed internal formulations (such as products carrying an NPN) are manufactured according to regulated specifications, which may include approved standardization or preparation processes.

Purity and responsible sourcing are core to product quality.

Question 5

What does “breathable resin” mean?

Accepted Answer

“Breathable resin” describes how Dragon’s Blood dries into a thin, flexible layer on the skin’s surface rather than forming a thick, greasy coating.

Unlike heavy ointments, it forms a lightweight surface film.

Question 6

What is the difference between resin and ointment?

Accepted Answer

A resin is a natural plant exudate that solidifies into a thin film when exposed to air.

An ointment typically contains oils or petrolatum that create a heavier, more occlusive layer on the skin.

Resins form films; ointments form thicker coatings.

Question 7

What is an NPN?

Accepted Answer

An NPN (Natural Product Number) is issued by Health Canada for natural health products that have been reviewed and authorized for sale in Canada. It confirms that the product meets established standards for safety, quality, and approved health claims.

Dragon’s Blood – Gastro-Ease carries NPN 80111301.
