Alkanna tinctoria is a member of the borage family with bright blue flowers and a dark red root. Native to the Mediterranean, and well known for its pigmentation properties, alkanet root is primarily used as a dying agent to impart a ruby red color to natural fibers and wood. It is also used in soaps, lotions, and makeup products across the world. For oil-based products, infuse oil by placing approximately 1 TBSP in ¼ cup of oil. Heat may be used to help speed up the process. Ratio of alkanet to oil will need to be altered according to product being made. Adjust amounts as necessary.Shake or stir daily for a few days, then strain oil.
