bixa BOTANICAL Alkanet Root Powder | Ratanjot/Arnebia Nobilis | Antioxidant | Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Steam Treated, Vegan, 100% Pure.(200 Grams / 7 OZ)

I got this alkanet root to naturally color my cp soaps and it works wonders! You have to infuse it in oil dirt to get the right color if you just put the powder in the batch it will just be greyish with speckles. A little goes a long way.

I use alkanet root for naturally coloring my handcrafted cold process soap. It turns blue when the lye is added, just like purple cabbage changes color based on acidity/alkalinity (if you add vinegar, it would turn red/pink). I mix alkanet with other root powders to get the color I desire. Good price for the quantity.

Nice natural color for soap mak.

great depth of color which means it the pure root powder - blends well into all my formulas - highly recommended

This was helpful to protect the skin from infection not very great but ok.

Best alkanet root powder I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. Perfect for coloring my soaps

I use this to dye homemade soap. Good quality, makes a very strong dye. Recommend.

I bought this item based on all the good reviews on getting a good purple color on cold process soap. The alkanet I received seems old, the poweder itself has a browish coloration, made my soap turn brown. The alkanet I received is not fresh.
