Dragon's Blood Resin | Croton Lechleri

Dragon’s Blood Resin from Croton lechleri, traditionally known as Sangre de Drago or Sangre de Grado, is a distinctive deep red botanical material obtained from the naturally occurring latex-like sap of the Amazonian Croton lechleri tree.

Unlike Dragon’s Blood resins from Dracaena, Daemonorops, or Pterocarpus species, Croton lechleri Dragon’s Blood is characterized by its vivid red color, naturally occurring polyphenolic constituents, and resinous botanical nature. It is valued as a specialty cosmetic raw material for water-based formulations, emulsions, botanical extracts, color-rich beauty concepts, professional skincare development, and ritual-inspired botanical products.

This material is not an essential oil and is not primarily intended as a perfumery ingredient. Its aroma is generally subtle, earthy, vegetal, slightly resinous, and mildly bitter rather than strongly fragrant. Its principal visual identity is its natural deep red to reddish-brown color.

Dragon’s Blood Resin from Croton lechleri may be incorporated into premium botanical formulations where a rare Amazonian ingredient, natural red pigment, resinous extract identity, and traditional cultural significance are desired.
