Ratanjot Oil

Ratanjot Oil

Ratanjot oil is a natural, plant-based colorant with a beautiful deep red-purple hue, made by infusing alkanet root (Alkanna tinctoria) in sesame oil. Long valued in traditional Indian cosmetics and cooking as a natural dye, it gives formulators a botanical way to add warm colour without synthetic pigments. Its signature is that rich natural colour – it tints soaps, lip and tinted balms, creams, lotions, and natural makeup with a lovely warm hue.

And because it's carried in a gentle sesame-oil base, it brings a soft, conditioning skin-feel along with the colour, making it a pleasure to formulate with. Being a genuine dye, ratanjot oil stains – that's exactly why it's such an effective natural colorant, and why it's used at low levels in formulations. An infused colorant oil for external cosmetic use. Supplied 100 ML to 10 KG with COA, MSDS, and TDS, from Raasa Oils. (Sesame-based – see the allergy note.)

Ratanjot Oil Benefits

Red-Purple Colorant

Ratanjot oil's signature is its rich, natural red-purple colour, drawn from alkanet root. It's a beautiful plant-based alternative to synthetic dyes – tinting soaps, balms, lip products, and creams with a warm botanical hue. For brands building clean, naturally-coloured ranges, it's one of the loveliest natural colorants available.

Conditioning Feel

Beyond colour, ratanjot oil carries the soft, conditioning character of its sesame-oil base. It helps skin feel comforted, soft, and cared-for, making it a gentle tinting oil rather than a harsh dye. That mild, emollient feel is why it's such a comfortable choice in balms, lip products, and skincare where colour and skin-feel both matter.

Ayurvedic Colour

Ratanjot (alkanet) has coloured oils, foods, and cosmetics across India for generations, valued as a natural botanical dye. That heritage gives it real appeal for brands telling a traditional, plant-based story – a time-honoured natural colour that connects modern clean-beauty formulations to a long tradition of botanical tinting.

Beauty Friendly

As a plant-derived colour with a gentle, oil-soluble profile, ratanjot oil suits natural, "free-from," and clean-beauty formulations that avoid synthetic dyes. It blends easily into oil-based products and butters, giving formulators a natural way to add warmth and colour while keeping their ingredient list simple and botanical.

Ratanjot Oil Uses

Bath Products

Ratanjot oil is a favourite in artisanal and natural soap-making for its red-purple tint. It gives handmade soaps a vibrant, botanical colour while lending a mild, conditioning feel to the skin during washing. Its oil-soluble pigment blends smoothly into melt-and-pour and cold-process bases – a natural colorant for premium bath and body products.

Lip Balms

Ratanjot oil's warm natural colour and emollient feel make it ideal for tinted lip balms, salves, and cheek balms. It lends a soft, botanical tint while conditioning the lips and skin, giving clean-beauty brands a natural way to add colour to balms and salves without synthetic dyes – colour and comfort in one ingredient.

Cosmetic Products

In cosmetics, ratanjot oil is used to naturally tint creams, lotions, and natural makeup with its botanical red-purple hue. It blends into oil-based formulations, adding colour and a soft, conditioning feel. Its plant origin makes it a favourite for brands wanting naturally-coloured, clean-beauty products with a warm, botanical finish.

Hair Care Products

In hair care, ratanjot oil is blended into hair and scalp oils for its conditioning, comforting feel and its traditional warm tint.
