Product Description

Alkanet Root Oil, traditionally known in India as Ratanjot oil, is a botanical infusion prepared by steeping dried Alkanet roots (Alkanna tinctoria or Arnebia species) in a carrier oil such as coconut, sesame, or mustard oil. The oil is widely recognized for its characteristic, deep natural crimson-red hue, which is released directly from the root barks into the carrier oil base without synthetic colors.

Historically valued across traditional Indian households and Ayurvedic wellness practices, Alkanet Root Oil is used as a hair and scalp tonic, as well as a comforting massage oil. When infused in cold-pressed coconut or sesame oil, it provides a smooth, non-greasy application with a subtle herbal aroma, making it a natural choice for daily scalp care, hair nourishment, and body massage routines.
