Combine with madder root powder for a nice red

[ tip: Combine powdered madder root with powdered alkanet root for more color variance when making dyes. ~ from Monterey Bay Herb Company ]

Country of origin: Pakistan

The most effective way to use it as a natural colourant is to infuse your liquid oil; Add 1 tablespoon of powdered alkanet into 5 ounces of MCT (fractionated coconut oil) into a jar and let it infuse for a week or two shaking it once a day.

2 Tbsp. (filtered) infusion provides a nice purple to approximately 3 pounds (1.36 kg) of soap.

Underwhelming

I used this natural dye to color my soap purple. There were very few instructions on how to use it so i looked online and learned it needs to be infused in oil for 6 months-1 year then strained out to extract the most color. Meanwhile that oil is close to getting rancid and hasn’t even entered the soap yet. I infused mine in a hot water bath for 3 hrs and got a deep reddish color in the oil. Once added to the soap batter, I got a light grey color from it in my soap once cured. Either it’s a low quality, or it needs much longer and slower infusing…this natural dye is probably better suited for fabric than soap. Or else you need to plan for your soap 1 year ahead.
