Madder Root Powder

Madder Root Powder – Natural Colourant for Soap Making

Madder Root Powder is a natural plant-based colourant that creates stunning shades in cold process soap, ranging from delicate dusty pinks to deep mauves and reddish browns. The final hue depends on usage amount, plant variation, and whether you gel your soap. This versatile and forgiving ingredient allows you to explore different application methods to achieve unique, natural tones.

Key Features
