Annatto Powder – 30g

Add warm, vibrant hues to your handmade products with Annatto Powder! Derived from the seeds of the Bixa orellana plant, this natural colorant has been used for centuries to create beautiful yellow, orange, and golden tones. It is perfect for soap making, skincare, and fabric dyeing, offering an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic dyes. Since annatto is rich in antioxidants, it also provides additional skin benefits, making it a valuable ingredient for natural formulations.

Key Features:

• 100% natural, plant-based yellow-orange pigment
• Skin-safe and environmentally friendly
• Produces soft golden to deep orange hues
• Ideal for soap making, skincare, and textile dyeing

Common Uses:

Annatto Powder is widely used in:

• Cold Process & Melt-and-Pour Soap – Infuses warm golden to orange hues, depending on the concentration.
• Bath Bombs & Body Scrubs – Adds a natural tint while offering antioxidant benefits.
• Face Masks & Herbal Hair Treatments – Supports healthy-looking skin and hair.
• Fabric & Textile Dyeing – Traditionally used to dye cotton, wool, silk, and other natural fibers.

How to Use in Soap & Cosmetics:

• Cold Process Soap: To achieve an even color, infuse annatto powder in oil before adding it to your soap batter. The longer the infusion, the deeper the shade.
• Bath Bombs & Skincare: Blend with dry ingredients before incorporating wet components to ensure consistent color distribution.
• Face & Hair Masks: Mix with water, aloe vera gel, or yogurt to create a nourishing paste that enhances skin and hair vitality.

How to Use as a Natural Dye:

• Fabric Dyeing: Simmer annatto powder in water for 30–60 minutes to extract the dye. Then, soak fabric in the solution until the desired color is reached. Using a mordant like alum can help intensify and set the color.
• Hair Coloring: Annatto can subtly enhance warm undertones in light brown or blonde hair when mixed with other natural dyes like henna.
