Description

What are natural dyes?

Natural dyes are dyes derived from plants (roots, stems, leaves, flowers), insects, minerals or organic sources. They are popular for being non-toxic, sustainable, and avoiding the use of harmful chemicals.

Natural dyes are biodegradable, non-toxic and non-allergenic. Additionally, they are processed in a way that avoids the use of harmful chemicals during the dyeing and finishing process, meaning they have a much lower environmental impact than synthetic dyes. The waste water from the dyeing process does not contain contaminants or toxic components.
