Indigo (natural) – natural indigo powder is an extract prepared from Indigofera tinctoria. Indigo is known for its ability to produce a wide range of blues that range from the tint of a pale sky to a deep navy. It has been used for years in the traditional artisan method of dying clothes and as a natural colourant in cold process soap and melt & pour soap, and other handmade projects!
