Logwood is a spiny, tropical American tree, largely found in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The extract is a purplish-red dye derived from processing the darkest heartwood. Logwood extract is used to make hematine (primarily used for dying sutures) and hematoxilyn (primarly used in histology).[/image_text_row][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1513283618770{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column][image_text_row title=”” button_text=”” image=”16277″]
