Madder Root (Rubia tinctorum) - Topical Liquid Extract Tincture

This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) prepared from the dried root of Madder - Rubia tinctorum, a plant of the madder family (Rubiaceae), also called Dyer's Madder or Common Madder; historically the source of a red textile dye. This product is for external (topical) use only.

Botanical name: Rubia tinctorum L. (Rubiaceae)
Plant part: Dried root
Also known as: Madder, Madder Root, Dyer's Madder, Common Madder
Extract type: Alcohol tincture - for external use only
Other ingredients: Organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
Origin: Responsibly sourced. Gluten free. Made in the USA.

This is Madder Root (Rubia tinctorum), different from Indian Madder (Rubia cordifolia), which we carry separately. It naturally contains anthraquinones including lucidin; please read the important safety information below before use.

Important safety information - please read carefully before use

Madder root contains anthraquinones, including lucidin. Please read these cautions before use.

External use only - never internal: this product is for topical use and must not be swallowed. Madder root contains lucidin, which is genotoxic (it can damage DNA) and has caused cancer in animal studies; herbal use of madder root by mouth is no longer permitted in some countries, which is why we offer it strictly for external use.
Skin: apply to intact skin only - do not use on open wounds or broken skin, and keep it away from the eyes and mucous membranes. Do a patch test first, and stop if redness, itching, or rash develops. Because this is an alcohol tincture, it may sting on sensitive skin.
Staining: madder is a strong natural dye and can stain skin, nails, and fabric.
Pregnancy / nursing: do not use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Contains alcohol. Do not use on infants or children. If you have a medical condition or take medication, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Do not use it to self-treat any medical condition - see a qualified doctor instead. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions about Madder Root Extract

What is Madder Root (Rubia tinctorum) topical extract?

Madder Root is the common name for the root of Rubia tinctorum, a plant of the madder family (Rubiaceae), also called Dyer's Madder or Common Madder; it was historically the source of a red textile dye. This is a liquid extract of the dried root FOR EXTERNAL (TOPICAL) USE ONLY - it is not for internal use. This tincture is an alcohol extract, applied to the skin. Madder root naturally contains anthraquinones, including lucidin, which is genotoxic if taken internally, which is why we offer it strictly for external use. Please read the important safety notes below.

What is the difference between the tincture and alcohol-free versions?

Both are liquid extracts of the same Rubia tinctorum root for external use; only the solvent differs. This tincture uses organic alcohol with vegetable glycerin and water, the classic conventional method with a long shelf life. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water instead. Choose whichever suits your topical routine. The root inside is identical, and the same external-use safety notes apply to both - neither is for internal use.

Is this the same as Indian Madder?

No - they are different species of the same genus. This page is Madder Root, Rubia tinctorum (European or Dyer's Madder). Indian Madder is Rubia cordifolia, which we list separately, also using the root. Both belong to the madder family and both contain anthraquinone compounds, but they are different species and are not interchangeable. We label this page clearly as Rubia tinctorum root.

How do I use Madder Root topical liquid extract?

For external use only. Shake well first, and do a patch test on a small area before wider use. Apply to intact skin only - do not use on open wounds or broken skin, and keep it away from the eyes and mucous membranes. Do not take it internally. Because this is an alcohol tincture, it may sting on sensitive skin. Note that madder is a strong natural dye and can stain skin, nails, and fabric. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs. Store in a cool, dark place, and keep out of reach of children.

Is Madder Root topical safe for everyone? Important safety information.

Please read this carefully. External use only: this product is not for internal use. Madder root contains anthraquinones, including lucidin, which is genotoxic (it can damage DNA) and has caused cancer in animal studies; for this reason, herbal use of madder root by mouth is no longer permitted in some countries, so do not swallow this product. Skin: apply to intact skin only, not to open wounds; madder is a strong dye and will stain, so do a patch test first, and stop if redness, itching, or rash develops. Keep away from the eyes. Pregnancy and nursing: do not use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Do not use on infants or children. If you have a medical condition or take medication, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Do not use it to self-treat any medical condition - see a qualified doctor instead.

ETHICALLY SOURCED, NATURAL INGREDIENTS 100% natural

Our Madder Root (Rubia Tinctorum) Root is selected from regions with optimal growing conditions to support a high concentration of active constituents. We work only with trusted suppliers and focus on sourcing clean, well-preserved botanical material suitable for high-quality liquid extraction.

As a solvent, we use alcohol to preserve the integrity of the extract and support a clean extraction process.

To verify botanical identity and ensure consistency, all raw materials are tested in our laboratory using established analytical techniques. These include High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) for plant authentication and fingerprinting, or Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and other in-house methods. Our approach is guided by relevant standards such as those of the USP and Ph. Eur., ISO 17025 and cGLP, allowing us to maintain rigorous quality control, ensuring the material meets our specifications for identity, purity and composition.

METICULOUS EXTRACT PREPARATION Small-Batch

Hawaii Pharm determines the optimal herb-to-menstruum ratio for each botanical. For alcohol-based extracts, we use a carefully balanced alcohol blend to ensure maximum extraction of active compounds while preserving the plant's natural integrity.
Our master herbalists analyze each batch and adjust extraction parameters as needed, ensuring consistent quality despite natural variations in botanical sources.
The result is a potent, stable liquid extract that captures the full spectrum of the botanical's benefits.

COMPREHENSIVE LABORATORY TESTING Lab-Tested

Every batch undergoes multiple quality assurance tests including:

Organoleptic evaluation (color, consistency, aroma)
FTIR and/or HPTLC spectral analysis for identity confirmation
Microbiological testing (total plate count, E. coli, coliforms)
Yeast and mold screening
Alcohol content verification
Viscosity measurement
Refractometric analysis
