Vital Treasures™

Draco’ Vital Treasures™ Botanical Ingredients cover a wide range of cosmetic and personal care applications.

We have put together a chart that we call the Vital Treasures™ Application Matrix, which is available to registered users of our website as a downloadable pdf file. It provides you with a Vital Treasures™ Product List and outlines the primary application groups for each botanical ingredient.  In this file, you will see a master matrix sheet for all applications.  We have also broken the Application Matrix down into individual spreadsheets corresponding to each application group – for your convenience.

Microcirculation – Several herbs, likeGinkgo or Tribulus, improve circulation to the peripheral blood vessels in the skin.

Metabolic and Cell Physiology – Ginseng, Mulberry and Astragalus are examples of herbs that have been shown to enhance skin cellular metabolism.

Structural Matrix / Skin Tone – Herbs such as Eucommia, Foti, and Gotu Kola help the skin to maintain the collagen “scaffolding” of the skin that gives the skin its supple firmness.

Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant – Herbs like White Tea or Calendula are powerful free radical scavengers that help to prevent and repair environmental and age related damage to the skin. Many of the antioxidant herbs are also anti-inflammatory, reducing the redness and swelling of sunburn, for instance.

Immunity – Astragalus, Ligustrum, Green Tea, and Milk Thistle are examples of herbs that ease the skin’s burden of protecting the body from invasion by enhancing the immune response of the body.

Skin Lightening – Licorice, Ligusticum and Polygonum cuspidatum are used for lightening the skin.

Yin / Yang – Some herbs have a warming effect on the metabolism, others have a cooling effect. These effects can affect the skin.
