Description
Madder Root Powder
Madder root is harvested from the first-year taproots of a climbing vine related to the coffee plant that’s better known as Common Madder or Dyer’s Madder.
Madder root has been used for centuries to produces a coral-terracotta-pink botanical dye for use in soap and fabrics.
The strength of colour can vary from palest peach to a rosy pink to a deep earthy terracotta brown, depending on the amount used and method.
The powdered root is the easiest to use in soap as it gives you consistent results.
Depending on the type of mordant used to extract and “fix” the dye, various shades can be obtained, from saffron to turkey red and madder lake.

Suggest usage:
If using directly into traced soap, we suggest starting with 2 rounded teaspoons per 2kg of oil weight. Either moisten with some Olive Oil, or add directly to the traced soap. This will give you soap as the paler coloured soap with the pattern shows (½ teaspoon of Madder Root Powder in oil, added to 250g of traced Cold Process soap). If you wish to avoid the specks and go for the darker look, double or triple infuse into oil first, and then use as a part of the oil portion.
