Dragon’s Blood has been named as one of the most powerful anti-ageing ingredients in the skincare industry owing to its medicinal properties, but its origins aren’t as fanciful as you have thought.
Found in the sap of the Croton Lechleri tree of north-western South America, the name ‘Dragon’s Blood’ derives from medieval folk law claiming the sap was actually the blood of elephants and dragons that perished in battle. Myths aside, the tree sap has been used as a natural medicine in South America for many years as it’s believed to have anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. It’s also known to have a calming effect. When applied topically, it forms a protective layer on the skin and reduces both redness and irritation.
SKIN PHYSICS was the first brand to introduce the Australian market to Dragon’s Blood and remains to this day a best-selling range in Australian pharmacies. Recently SKIN PHYSICS has celebrated this success with a face-lift and brought out fiery new packaging, but one thing remains the same, the tried and trusted formulas remain highly effective and loved nationwide.
SKIN PHYSICS has created a unique range of formulas infused with the rejuvenating properties of Dragon’s Blood with each product designed to work in synergy to boost and maximise results.
