INCI: Beta vulgaris Root Powder

Beetroot Powder is a fine plant powder made from dried beetroot and used mainly as a botanical colourant and add-in for DIY skincare, hair care, soaps, and bath products. It gives pink to berry-toned colour and adds visual warmth to masks, scrubs, and body blends. This is a raw powder ingredient rather than a ready-to-use cosmetic product, so it is blended into a suitable base before use. Natural pigments may shift or fade depending on the formula type.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Beetroot Powder because it brings an easy botanical colour lift to DIY projects without relying on synthetic dyes. It is especially useful when a formula needs a more natural pink-to-berry tone and a fresh visual feel.

This product is certified: Beauty Without Cruelty, Vegan, and Food Safe.

Very difficult to find food grade beetroot powder

Very difficult to find food grade beetroot powder that is not mixed with other ingrediants, thank you for a great product 🙃

Good for smoothies

I've been putting a tablespoon in my smoothies and have felt stronger since. I hate beetroot, so this is a great product for me.

Not a good a colourant for lip oils

While I'm sure this is a good product for other things, I ordered this to tint my lip oil (as Essentially Natural suggested). It didn't dissolve into the oils and didn't tint it at all, just left grainy bits in my oils. Regardless, it arrived well and delivery was fast.

Is your beetroot powder safe for human consumption? I see your guide is only for beauty products

Hi there Zandile,

Thank you for your question - that’s a very important one 😊

Our beetroot powder is food safe, meaning it is pure, commonly used in food, and handled in hygienic conditions in a facility approved by local health authorities.

However, it is not certified as food grade, as we are not a registered food production facility. This means we don’t label or recommend it for products intended for resale for ingestion.

For personal use, it is generally considered safe, but for anything being sold as a food product, we would always recommend using ingredients that are specifically food-grade certified.

I hope that helps clarify, but please feel free to ask if you’d like more detail :)

Kindest regards,
Aiden
