Alkanet Root Powder (Natural Colorant)

Alkanet Root Powder – Natural Colorant for Soap Making

Alkanet Root Powder is a versatile natural colorant that creates stunning purple, blue, and maroon hues in cold process (CP) soap. Best used infused in oil, it allows for deep, long-lasting color variations, with the final shade influenced by the soap’s pH and base oils.

How to Infuse Alkanet Root Powder:

1️⃣ Add 30g of alkanet root powder to a bottle with a screw cap lid.
2️⃣ Pour in 500ml of a soaping oil (olive oil is a popular choice).
3️⃣ Shake vigorously to distribute the powder throughout the oil.
4️⃣ Let the mixture infuse for a few weeks, shaking daily for even dispersion.
5️⃣ Before use, allow to settle for 24 hours if you prefer a uniform color. For a speckled, exfoliating effect, shake before adding to your soap batch.
6️⃣ Use the infused oil at 15% of your total recipe quantity.

Color Changes in Cold Process Soap:

• The infused oil starts as a rich maroon.
• In freshly made CP soap, the color may shift to grey/blue due to high pH.
• During curing, the soap gradually transitions to beautiful purple tones.
• Base oils impact the final color, so consider your formulation when planning your shade.

Key Benefits:

✔ 100% Natural Colorant – No synthetic dyes, just pure plant-based color.
✔ Customizable Shades – pH-reactive color variations allow for creative results.
✔ Dual Effect – Use as a pure infusion for even color or keep particulate matter for a speckled, lightly exfoliating finish.
✔ Versatile Use – Ideal for cold process soap, oil-based products, and natural formulations.
