Botanical Name: Alkanna Tinctoria
Country of Origin: Albania
Description: Alkanet Root Powder is produced from the roots of Alkanna tinctoria, a perennial plant native to the Mediterranean region and surrounding areas of Western Asia. The root is naturally rich in plant pigments, giving the finished powder a deep reddish tone that reflects the characteristics of the dried botanical material. When finely milled, it forms a smooth, earthy powder suitable for applications requiring consistent texture and even dispersion.
The production process begins with the harvesting of mature roots, which are thoroughly cleaned to remove soil and natural debris. After cleaning, the roots are dried under controlled conditions until their moisture content is reduced to a stable level. Once fully dried, the roots are ground into a fine powder using standard botanical milling methods. This process maintains the plant’s natural colour compounds and produces a uniform powder without additional processing beyond cleaning, drying, and milling.
Alkanet Root Powder is commonly used in natural dye projects, cosmetic formulation, and craft applications where plant-derived colouring is desired. When infused into oils, soaps, or other creative bases, it can contribute shades ranging from red to purple depending on the medium.
Its powder form allows for smooth blending, making it suitable for projects that require even colour distribution or finely textured botanical material.
The natural pigment properties and characteristic appearance of the powder make it a versatile ingredient for craft, artistic, and formulation work that incorporates botanical colour sources.
Storage: In a cool, dry space, sealed against the elements as much as possible.
