So glad I learned of this stuff!
Because this is a sap, at first my bottle was clogged. I sterilized a pin and poked it clear. Hasn’t clogged since. It starts out very thin and has a slightly vinegary, sour fruit smell. It doesn’t smell amazing but the results are worth a few minutes of unpleasant odor and it fades quickly. Hey, not everything in the natural world smells like roses! I find that it dissipates quicker if I dilute in a carrier oil. It blends well with every oil I have tried and I have been sticking with oils low on the comedogenic scale like meadowfoam argan, grapeseed, since I am using to help clear up skin blemishes. It does a nice job in speeding healing but, again, I find this benefit enhanced by mixing with a carrier oil, since dragon’s blood is astringent in nature. It has an immediate toning and drying affect on the skin. You can watch the skin tighten up before your eyes. It seems to be lightening a few scars and freckles I’ve been using it on. It’s become a welcome addition to my skincare arsenal and will be a staple ingredient in my natural skincare line. I would have this on auto-delivery if it was offfered.
