Botanical Extracts and Powders
This section brings together our botanical extracts and plant powders, concentrated plant materials used in small amounts in skin care, bath products and soap making.
Dragon’s blood extract is the red sap of the Croton lechleri tree from the upper Amazon in Peru, sold as a liquid for serums, masks and creams. Yuzu peel powder is the dried, milled rind of the Japanese yuzu fruit, with a tart citrus scent that works in bath soaks, clay masks and scrubs. Both are for external use.

Using Botanical Extracts and Powders
Dragon's blood extract
Dragon's blood is the deep red sap of the Croton lechleri tree, tapped from the bark in the upper Amazon in Peru. It is a thin liquid that turns pale cream when rubbed between the fingers. A few drops are added to serums, face masks and creams.
Yuzu peel powder
Yuzu peel powder is the dried, milled rind of Citrus junos, grown in Japan and South Korea. Its tart, floral citrus scent works in bath soaks, clay masks, sugar scrubs and cold process soap.
Working with small amounts
Both are concentrated plant materials, so a little goes a long way. Measure carefully, add them to a small test batch first, and note how much you used so you can repeat the result.
Storage
Keep the extract tightly closed and out of the light. Store the powder sealed in a dry place, because moisture makes powders clump.
