Infusion was Brown

When I infused this in Sunflower oil, it turned brown. Not red... not Blue... not Grey.... I plan to put it in my balm to trial the colour in small quantity. I wouldn't recommend this product. Advertising should say brown as a colour option it could go.

Great colourant!

I made an Alkanet Root infused oil for my lotion. The colour turned into a nice purple-ish pink colour (after combining the oil with blueberry glycerite). Lovely colour! Planning to use it for making soap too.

Awesome addition

So cool how it changes colour with PH! You should try it in soaps.
