Dried Butterfly Pea Flower

Strikingly vibrant and rich in natural antioxidants, dried butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea) is treasured for its deep indigo-blue hue and gentle wellness benefits. 

In handmade products, butterfly pea flower can be infused into oils, water, or alcohol to extract its natural color and skin-loving compounds. It’s ideal for use in bath teas, facial toners, botanical soaps, bath bombs, and serums, where it adds visual appeal and mild antioxidant support. The color it imparts can shift from blue to purple with changes in pH, making it a popular natural dye for creative formulations.

To use, steep dried butterfly pea flowers in warm carrier oil or distilled water for several hours to extract their pigment and properties. Typical usage rates range from 1–3% of the total formulation when used directly, or as needed when incorporating the infused medium.
