Annatto Powder Extract, Water Soluble Colorant

Annatto Water Soluble Powdered Extract is derived from the colorful seeds of a tropical tree commonly known as the achiote tree. This natural extract is a beautiful, deep sunset shade of orange. It produces a range of warm orange hues when incorporated into soaps, lotions, creams, gels, spritzes, bath salts and other personal care products.

Annatto Water Soluble Powdered Extract is a permissible color additive (exempt from certification by the FDA) and can be used as a natural, herbal colorant in personal care formulations. We recommend doing several test batches to find the ideal usage rate for your product. Use alone or in combination with other colorants or color-imparting botanical extracts to achieve the desired color. Colors and color intensity may vary depending upon pH levels and possible interactions with other ingredients.
