Alkanet Root – Alkanna tinctoria

Deeply colored root for natural skin rituals.

Natural Alkanet Root (Alkanna tinctoria) is a traditionally valued botanical known for its rich pigments and long history of external use in herbal and cosmetic practices. The dried root has a mild, earthy aroma and a deep reddish-brown tone, prized for infusing oils with a characteristic red-to-purple hue. It has been historically used in herbal traditions to support skin comfort and general well-being and is appreciated today in natural skincare and artisanal preparations.

Commonly infused into oils or balms, alkanet root is popular in handmade cosmetics, soaps, and herbal wellness routines. Sourced from the Balkan region and packed fresh in small batches, it is hand-filled in a kraft pouch to preserve color, aroma, and quality.
