Dyer’s alkanet, powdered

Dyer’s alkanet or simply alkanet, is a purple vegetable dye. When making colouring hair masks, it gives hair mahogany highlights when combined with henna. When used for colouring soaps, dyer’s alkanet gives soap purple to blue-grey tones. Its red pigments are easily extracted by maceration in a vegetable oil, and the coloured oil obtained can be used to colour candles, balms, oils or emulsions in red to rosy tones.
