Beetroot Powder is a fine, natural botanical ingredient derived from dried Beta vulgaris roots. Rich in natural pigment, it lends a gentle pink-to-red hue to formulations and adds an earthy tone to natural cosmetic products. It’s widely used in DIY skincare, soaps, scrubs, masks, and lip tints for its soft color payoff and plant-based origin. Suitable for formulators seeking a clean, botanical alternative to synthetic colorants.

How It Works

• Beetroot Powder works as a natural colorant and botanical additive in cosmetic blends. When dispersed in formulations, its natural pigment—betanin—imparts a soft blush tone while blending easily into dry or liquid bases. It enhances the visual appeal of products like masks, soaps, and bath salts with a mild earthy aroma and aesthetic vibrancy.

• Bath Salts: Blend with salts and essential oils for color enhancement.
• Lip & Blush Tints: Combine with carrier oils or waxes for natural coloring.
  Recommended usage: 0.5%–5% in formulations, depending on desired shade intensity.
