MYROBALAN

Myrobalan is a natural dye that is extracted from the nuts of the myrobalan tree, which is native to Asia. As a dye, myrobalan produces a yellow colour, and when combined with indigo or iron, it can produce teal and grey. As with many natural dyes, myrobalan has long been used as a medicine, particularly in the Ayurvedic tradtion, where it is known as haritaki.

The myrobalan in our products is made by a producer in India who forages the nuts from the local area and extracts the dye from them using an entirely non-toxic process. The waste water from the dyeing process is used to irrigate the local agricultural fields.
