A natural botanical powder ready for infusion in oil. See our Recipes page for infusion instructions. Powdered alkanet root can be used as a soap dye and will colour red/blue/mauve depending on the pH.
Alkanet will colour CP or HP soap from ared/purple to blue/purple depending on the pH of the soap. If you discount the water content, the colour tends to be a more red/purple. When using base Oils with more yellow such as Mango butter and Rice Bran Oil, or Orange and Mandarin Essential Oils these will subtly alter the final colour.
Alkanet can also be stirred through soap at trace to have a more speckly result.
