Alkanet Root Powder

Alkanet Root Powder is used to give you a pretty purple pink color for those who prefer the natural look.  The color is the same lovely rosy purplish pink color as the powder. Formulation Note: For Cold Process soaps, 1 teaspoon of Alkanet Root Powder can be dispersed in one  tablespoon of your oil of choice and added at trace.  Recommended usage rate is up to 1 tablespoon of dispersed oil per pound of soap. For Melt & Pour, you can mix 1 teaspoon of the powder with 1 tablespoon of 99% grain alcohol (it contains virtually no water).  Add 1 teaspoon of this mixture at a time to your melted soap. Infusions:  As with Alkanet Root, the powder can also be infused in your choice of any light weight oil and allowing a couple of weeks for it diffuse into the oil.  This can be sped up by gently heating your oil on a low temperature for a couple of hours.  When the color you desire is achieved, simply strain the oil through a coffee filter.  Store in a cool dark place and use as needed.
