Turkish Rhubarb Root Powder (Rheum palmatum)

Turkish Rhubarb Root Powder Organic (Rheum palmatum)

Create beautiful warm, earthy tones in your handmade soap with Organic Turkish Rhubarb Root Powder. Unlike Himalayan Rhubarb Root, which is known for producing pink to red hues, Turkish Rhubarb creates rich honey, caramel and cinnamon-brown shades that complement natural and botanical soap designs.

This finely milled botanical powder disperses easily into soap and is ideal for makers looking to achieve warm, rustic colours using plant-based ingredients. The final shade will vary depending on your recipe, usage rate, gel phase and cure, giving each batch its own unique character.

Suggested Usage

For Cold Process Soap:

For Melt & Pour Soap:

• Mix a small quantity into a little glycerine or alcohol before incorporating into the melted base.
• Add gradually until the desired shade is achieved.

As with all natural colourants, colours may vary depending on your formulation, pH, curing conditions and exposure to light over time.
