Rodial debuts Dragon’s Blood skin gel
During the Year of the Dragon, Rodial is launching its new Dragon’s Blood Sculpting Gel with minifacials during a "Winterize Your Skin" event taking place 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Nordstrom.
The gel is made from resin extract of the Croton lechleri, which grows in the Amazon and earned the local name sangre de drago (dragon’s blood) because of its thick red sap. When applied to the skin, the sap prevents wounds from bleeding and inhibits inflammation. Used in the sculpting gel, it forms a hydrating and protective shield over skin, preventing environmental damage, according to Rodial, a maker of skin care products.
Also shared will be popular products from the line, including Snake Serum and Crash Diet Sticks, a powder containing guarana, green coffee extract and green tea which, when mixed with water, is said to boost metabolism as an aid to weight loss.
Those who make a $125 Rodial purchase will receive a gift of a Rodial glam balm Multi, valued at $49.
