At Essance, we believe the most powerful skincare begins with nature’s wisdom. Dragon’s blood—a vibrant red sap from the Croton lechleri tree of the Amazon—has been treasured for centuries by Indigenous communities for its healing and protective properties. Today, this resin is celebrated in skincare for its ability to calm, protect, and visibly support the skin’s natural barrier.
Our Dragon’s Blood Skincare reflects Essance’s ethos: plant-based, sustainably sourced, and effective without compromise.
What Is Dragon’s Blood?
Dragon’s blood is the resin of several plants, but the most beneficial for skin comes from Croton lechleri, often known as Sangre de Drago. When the bark is tapped, a deep crimson sap flows—rich in antioxidants and protective compounds. Traditionally used to soothe wounds and irritation, this sap has become a sought-after natural ingredient for skincare.
