🌞 Annatto Dye Extract Powder

Highly Concentrated Natural Dye – Brilliant Yellows & Oranges

Unlock bold botanical color with our Annatto Dye Extract Powder, made from the pigment-rich seeds of the Bixa orellana tree. This refined extract offers a more potent, easy-to-use alternative to raw annatto seed powder, ideal for achieving vivid sunny yellows, warm golds, and fiery oranges on natural fibers.

Key Features:

  • High-strength dye extract – requires less powder than raw seed

  • Water-soluble for quick and efficient dyeing

  • Ideal for cotton, linen, silk, wool, and natural paper

  • Produces rich hues even at lower concentrations

  • Excellent for natural dyeing, bundle dyeing, and overdying

Dyeing Notes:

  • Best results with alum-mordanted fibers

  • Color intensity varies with pH and modifiers (alkaline = deeper orange)

  • Combine with tannins or iron for earthy tone shifts

  • Avoid overheating to maintain brightness

Suggested Use 

  • Use 10 - 15% WOF (Weight of Fiber) 

  • Dissolve in hot water before adding to the dye bath

  • Simmer gently for 30–60 minutes
