## Description

Product description It is native to the Mediterranean region. The root produces a fine red coloring material, which has been used as a dye in the Mediterranean region since antiquity. The root as a dyestuff is soluble in alcohol, ether, and the oils, but is insoluble in water. It is used to give colour to wines and alcoholic tinctures, to vegetable oils, and to varnishes. Alkanet root is primarily used as a natural dying agent, and it imparts a ruby red color to natural fibers, wool, wood, stone, lip balm, lipstick, ointments, salve, soap, lotion, and to tint oils, vinegar, tinctures, varnishes, or wine. In the past, Alkanet root was used to improve the appearance of low quality wines and ports, and to give an aged appearance to wine corks. However, Alkanet root is mainly used as a dying agent now, and is not recommended for internal use. In soap, Alkanet root will yield shades of pink, blue, and purple, depending upon the amount used, types of oil used, and the alkalinity of the soap. Do not use on broken skin. Alkanet is often used as a purifying agent. It can be added to powders and incenses to help remove negative spirits from a particular area or object. Can also be used alone, when empowered, it can be sprinkled around the foundation of a home to keep it protected and purified. Alkanna tinctoria, the dyer's alkanet or alkanet, is a herb in the borage family. The plant is also known as dyers' bugloss, orchanet, Spanish bugloss, or Languedoc bugloss. Ingredients: 100% dyer's alkanet (powder) Botanical name: Alkanna tinctoria Country of Origin: Albania Processed in: Germany Storage Instructions: Dry, Cool & Dark Conditions Dietary & Allergy Info: Gluten Free | Dairy Free | Vegan | Natural | GMO Free Net Weight: 1.76oz / 50g Safety Warning Do not use on broken skin. Not intended for internal use.

Review: Contrary to naysayers THIS IS ALKANET! - I typically use Alkanet Root when producing Alkanet Oil for Gun Stocks, but spotted this powdered Alkanet for sale on desertcart and thought I'd give it a test drive. Careful to wrap securely in lint free cotton cloth I added two tablespoons of the powder to 300ml of Boiled Linseed Oil and waited. The reaction wasn't as quick as I usually find when using Alkanet Root and I initially thought I'd bought a bum batch, but thought I'd give it a while longer as time wasn't the enemy. Alkanet Oil needs to mature for a while once mixed anyway. I waited 24hrs, then lifted my improvised filter (Containing the Alkanet) from the oil and squeezed the "package" to gauge if anything was happening (The oil up to this point remained unaffected by the Alkanet), resulting in a minute red trace appearing. I replaced the package into the oil and again waited another 24hrs. Overnight success (Although 48hrs had passed), with a resulting deep red Alkanet Oil mixture that - when quickly tested - immediately drew into a piece of Walnut, giving an excellent result. Dryers in the Boiled Linseed Oil will cure it and end results depend upon depth of desired colour plus the amount of time the brew is left to mature. I need to experiment more with this new (To me) dye medium, but definitely recommend patience because this isn't money or time wasted and the end result is well worthwhile.
Review: FAKE Alkanet - This is not alkanet, it does not dissolve and it does not colour.
