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.
So cool how it changes colour with PH! You should try it in soaps.
It was nice that they gave me some advice when I ask about the colour pigment for beeswax trial.
And the product was dispatched in a prompt manner. But the colour did not turn out the way I expected, it was greyish purple, rather than reddish colour. I have to experiment more, I guess.
