Is a mordant needed when dying?

I have never used it to color fabrics or anything other than hand made soaps, which it does beautifully. I suppose it depends on what type of substance you're coloring.

Hi, can this be use for making lip balm?

Yes it can that is what I bought it for be careful how much though, mine came out lookin like chocolate

Is this gluten-free? I'm making lip balm for someone who is highly allergic to gluten.

Yes, the alkanet root powder that we offer for sale on Amazon is wildcrafted and completely gluten-free.

Is it soluble in wax? Or does it sink to the bottom?

I use it to color lip balm in a mixture of oil and beeswax. The alkanet dyes the mixture and the solid particles fall to the bottom of the pan I'm using to mix stuff. It makes a smooth, vibrantly colored balm as long as I don't use the gritty stuff in the bottom of the pan. I don't know how it will behave without the oil. It is not entirely soluble.
