In short

Dragon's blood — sangre de grado (Croton lechleri) — is not a resin in the botanical sense but a red latex that flows from a cut in the trunk of an Amazonian tree and is tapped without felling it. Amazon Andes exports it in bulk as raw latex and in cosmetic formats, sourced with Amazonian communities, with traceability from the harvest zone to the lot.

Full guide

DRAGON’S BLOOD (SANGRE DE GRADO) is the deep-red latex from the Amazonian tree Croton lechleri. Indigenous peoples have long used it to stop bleeding, seal wounds and calm gastrointestinal distress. Today its healing, cosmetic and nutraceutical value is recognised worldwide.

Dragon’s Blood (Sangre de grado) – Peruvian Amazon

Origin & Habitat: Wild across Peru’s jungle departments (San Martín, Huánuco, Junín, Loreto, Cusco), trees reach up to 25 m. We harvest only mature trees using shiringueo (non-destructive tapping that allows regeneration), preserving biodiversity while ensuring consistent quality.

Rapid carbon capture: As a pioneer species in secondary rainforest, C. lechleri reaches maturity in 10–12 years and contributes significant CO2 sequestration per hectare.

Sustainable Harvesting & Community Impact

In partnership with indigenous communities of Pucallpa and Peru’s leading environmental funds, we guarantee ethical, non-destructive extraction, active reforestation (seedling nurseries and enrichment planting) and fair income for local families. Full traceability accompanies each batch—from collection zone to finished lot.
