What is Alkanet Root Powder?

Alkanet root powder is a natural botanical colourant derived from the roots of the Alkanna tinctoria plant. Known for its deep red-purple hue in powdered form, alkanet is a favourite among Australian soap makers and natural skincare formulators for adding earthy tones to handcrafted products.

In cold process soap making, alkanet root powder creates stunning shades of lavender, grey-blue, and deep violet, depending on the oil blend and pH of your formula. Its popularity among artisan soap makers lies in its ability to infuse natural colour without synthetic dyes or micas.
