PLANTCOLOR™ pigments come from roots: beets radishes and purple potatoes.
As you can imagine the process to make pigments from plants is lengthy and precious.
Like the majority of Hurraw! ingredients these roots grew in the bright sun soaked in the rain were pollinated by insects made it through a full growing season and then had lots-of-human-hands-on to complete their colouring destiny.
Within a day of harvest the root juices are extracted sprayed onto a carrier medium (maltodextrin or acacia gum) dried and milled microfine.
They get tested for purity before blending into your balms.
Darker than Hurraw! popular tints with thicker stay-put-coverage.
100% PLANTCOLOR™ = no iron oxides (metal) carmine (cochineal insect) or FD&C/D&C synthetic dyes and lakes (petroleum).
Know that you are literally applying root vegetables to your lips and you will sense their natural taste and smell.
Lightly scented with cherry-orange-vanilla and a smidge of sweetness from organic stevia.
The tartness comes from the citric acid used to preserve the pigments and of course like all Hurraw! balms these are loaded with organic cacao coconut and Montana grown organic safflower oil.
