Alkanet Root Powder: Natural plant-based coloring ingredient
YTBIO's Alkanet Root Powder is derived from *Alkanna tinctoria* (a member of the Boraginaceae family), a plant with a long history of use as a natural colorant. Known for its distinctive purplish-red hue, it is widely used in cosmetics, fabric dyes, wood stains, and natural skincare products.
The natural pigments in alkanet root consist primarily of alkannin and shikonin derivatives. The resulting color varies depending on pH, the solvent used, and the formulation base, yielding shades ranging from pink, purplish-red, and lavender to blue-violet.
We offer high-quality, 100% pure Alkanet Root Powder, finely ground from select roots. Free from artificial colors and chemical additives, it is ideal for use in natural cosmetics, handmade soaps, botanical dyes, and DIY products.

A high-quality red pigment can be extracted from the roots of this plant; when ground into a powder and mixed with oil, it serves as a wood stain. Upon mixing with an oil-based medium, it turns the oil a deep red; when applied to wood, it imparts a deep reddish-brown hue while accentuating the wood grain. In an alkaline environment, the dye appears blue, whereas in an acidic environment, it gradually shifts to a deep red.
