Annatto (Bixa Orellana) is a tropical shrub or small tree, native to the Americas and also known as achiote or urucum. While the plant is most famous for its seeds - the source of a natural orange-red colorant - this product is made from the leaf. The annatto leaf naturally contains tocotrienols, a type of vitamin E, along with other plant compounds.

•  

  WHOLE-LEAF LIQUID EXTRACT: Made from the dried leaf of Bixa orellana, carrying the leaf's natural spectrum of constituents rather than an isolated or standardized single compound.

•  

  ALCOHOL-FREE, GLYCERIN BASE: Our extract is 100% alcohol-free, made with a smooth vegetable glycerin base and purified water.

•  

  THE LEAF, NOT THE SEED: This is the annatto leaf - the part that naturally contains tocotrienols - distinct from the seed, which is the well-known food colorant and is offered as a separate product.

•  

  NOT A CULINARY COLORANT: A liquid supplement extract you take by the drop, not annatto powder, annatto oil, achiote paste, or food coloring.

•  

  CLEARLY LABELED: Labeled by botanical name and plant part, so there is no confusion with the annatto seed product or with the culinary colorants.

Bixa orellana - Annatto, Achiote, the Lipstick Tree
