Annatto Seed Powder

Annatto Seed Powder – Natural Colourant for Vibrant Yellows & Oranges

Annatto Seed Powder is a natural plant-based colourant derived from the seeds of the achiote tree (Bixa Orellana). Used traditionally for its rich golden to orange hues, this botanical powder is perfect for soap making, skincare, and natural formulations.

Key Features

• Natural Colour Variation – Produces light yellow to deep orange tones, depending on usage and infusion time
• Best Used as an Infusion – For a smooth, strain-free application, seal annatto in tea bags before steeping in oil
• Versatile Use – Ideal for cold process and hot process soaps, balms, and creams
• Botanical & Plant-Based – A great alternative to synthetic colorants

How to Use

• Infuse in oil before incorporating into your product for even colour distribution
• Strain before use (using a tea bag or fine mesh) to prevent sediment in the final product
• Experiment with infusion time to achieve your desired shade
