Croton lechleri grows in specific Amazonian regions, which makes sourcing inherently regional and relationship-based.
The forest is not a backdrop.
It is where the product begins. Selva Dragon’s Blood is sourced from Croton lechleri resin harvested in the Peruvian Amazon — with traceability, testing, and respect for the tree built into the standard.
From the tree that gives the resin its name.
Dragon’s Blood is the deep red latex of the Croton lechleri tree, traditionally known as Sangre de Grado.
Selva sources through Amazon Andes Export S.A.C., a Peruvian supplier connected to Amazonian harvesting regions and export documentation. The goal is simple: keep the product close to its origin, without disguising it in a formula.
Tapped with care. Not treated like a commodity.
The resin is collected by making small cuts in the tree so the latex can be gathered. The point is not extraction at any cost. The point is a botanical ingredient handled with restraint.
The red latex is collected in small quantities, then prepared for quality control and export.
Selva does not turn the origin story into decoration. The sourcing is here to build trust, not noise.
The category has a trust problem. This is how we answer it.
Dragon’s Blood products online can be diluted, mislabeled, or hard to verify. That is why sourcing is not a marketing extra for Selva. It is part of the product.
Our standard centers on origin, supplier documentation, quality control, and a single-ingredient formula customers can understand immediately.
Clean design only works if the standard underneath is real.
Our supplier documentation includes quality-control review for identity, appearance, density, soluble solids, and microbiological parameters. The design is quiet because the sourcing should be able to speak for itself.
Purely sourced. Purely delivered.
Selva exists to bring Amazonian botanicals to the U.S. market without stripping away their origin, simplicity, or sense of place. Dragon’s Blood is the first standard.
