Alkanet Root Powder – Alkanna tinctoria

Deep red botanical for natural care.

Alkanet Root Powder (Alkanna tinctoria) is a finely ground botanical root traditionally valued in European herbal practices and natural cosmetics. Known for its rich red pigment, it has been historically used in oil infusions, balms, and salves, as well as appreciated for its antioxidant-rich profile. The powder has an earthy aroma and a deep reddish-brown color that releases vibrant tones when infused into oils or alcohol.

Traditionally associated with skin-care rituals and herbal wellness routines, alkanet root is commonly used as a natural colorant in cosmetics and artisan preparations. Sourced from the Balkan region and carefully processed, it is hand-packed in small batches in a kraft pouch to preserve freshness and color integrity. For educational, cosmetic, and culinary use only. Do not exceed typical culinary amounts and consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
