## Overview

Herbs Alkanet Root Powder is a wild harvested, 1 oz powdered natural dye known for imparting rich ruby red to purple hues across fibers, wood, cosmetics, and oils. Celebrated for its versatility and efficiency, it dramatically reduces traditional dyeing times and is favored by artisans and crafters seeking authentic, vibrant color without synthetic additives.

## Description

Alkanet root is primarily used as a natural dying agent, and it imparts a ruby red color to natural fibers, wool, wood, stone, lip balm, lipstick, ointments, salve, soap, lotion, and to tint oils, vinegar, tinctures, varnishes, or wine. In the past, Alkanet root was used to improve the appearance of low quality wines and ports, and to give an aged appearance to wine corks. However, Alkanet root is mainly used as a dying agent now, and is not recommended for internal use. In soap, Alkanet root will yield shades of pink, blue, and purple, depending upon the amount used, types of oil used, and the alkalinity of the soap. D not use on broken skin. In Magick this herb is often used as a purifying agent. It can be added to powders and incenses to help remove negative spirits from a particular area or object. Can also be used alone, when empowered, it can be sprinkled around the foundation of a home to keep it protected and purified.

Review: Good color for soaping - I bought this for coloring my soap. I really like the quality of the powder, and it mixes well and gives good coverage for coloring. Makes a nice deep purple color, which I used for my lavender soap.
Review: It's Not dirt - Alkanet root is used for another application for making Red oil. Red oil is used for bringing out the figure in walnut gun stocks. This process is an old school process that was use on old double Purdey's and British side by side rifles . Your powder has taken months off the original process. The original recipe required Alkanet root soaked in boiled linseed oil for 6 months. Your powder I soak in boiled linseed oil for only one week and it's good to go. Thank you for such a time consuming product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is a mordant needed when dying?**
A: I have never used it to color fabrics or anything other than hand made soaps, which it does beautifully. I suppose it depends on what type of substance you're coloring.

**Q: Hi, can this be use for making lip balm?**
A: Yes it can that is what I bought it for be careful how much though, mine came out lookin like chocolate

**Q: Is this gluten-free? I'm making lip balm for someone who is highly allergic to gluten.**
A: Yes, the alkanet root powder that we offer for sale on Amazon is wildcrafted and completely gluten-free.

**Q: Is it soluble in wax? Or does it sink to the bottom?**
A: I use it to color lip balm in a mixture of oil and beeswax.  The alkanet dyes the mixture  and the solid particles fall to the bottom of the pan I'm using to mix stuff.  It makes a smooth, vibrantly colored balm as long as I don't use the gritty stuff in the bottom of the pan.
I don't know how it will behave without the oil.
It is not entirely soluble.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Something to note
*by K***S on December 8, 2022*

It looks red/maroon, but in cold process soap it actually turns a dark greyish purple. Still beautiful and natural, but if you are looking for red/maroon this isn't for you.
