Annatto Liquid Extract — Natural Orange-Red Colorant

Description

Harness the golden-orange power of Annatto Liquid Extract, from the achiote seeds of Bixa orellana, expertly blended into your Build-Your-Own ORY^® skincare, haircare, or handmade soap. Used for millennia by Amazonian and Central American peoples as body paint and skin medicine, annatto delivers antioxidant carotenoids — bixin and norbixin — along with one of nature’s richest sources of tocotrienols, the potent vitamin E fraction that penetrates skin readily and shows superior antioxidant activity in laboratory research. It is also an approved natural colorant (CI 75120) and a handmade-soap classic. In your custom serum, cream, face or body oil, or balm, it delivers antioxidant defense, calms inflammation, nourishes dry skin, and lends a warm, sun-kissed glow. In your custom hair oil, it helps protect color and enhances copper and auburn shades. In your handmade soap, annatto-infused oil creates stable, dye-free yellow-orange bars. Ideal for mature, normal, and dry skin and warm-toned hair, it pairs beautifully with Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil and Rosehip Extract. Customize your cruelty-free formulation for a radiant, naturally colored experience from face to scalp. Caution: Annatto can tint skin, fabric, and light hair at higher levels; not recommended for blonde hair. Patch test recommended. Annatto is not a sunscreen.
