- Bath Bombs & Skincare: Blend with dry ingredients before incorporating wet components to ensure consistent color distribution.
- Face & Hair Masks: Mix with water, aloe vera gel, or yogurt to create a nourishing paste that enhances skin and hair vitality.
How to Use as a Natural Dye:
- Fabric Dyeing: Simmer annatto powder in water for 3060 minutes to extract the dye. Then, soak fabric in the solution until the desired color is reached. Using a mordant like alum can help intensify and set the color.
