INCI: Centaurea cyanus

Cornflowers Blue (Centaurea cyanus) are vivid blue petals used to add natural colour and a gentle floral touch to teas, crafts, and DIY cosmetics. In tea, they have a soft, neutral taste that blends easily with other herbs. The petals also give a beautiful confetti look to bath salts, soaps, and scrubs without synthetic dyes. This bulk format is ideal for blending, decorating, and batch projects.
