Chlorophyll, the natural green pigment found in celery.
Celery powder goes by Apium Graveolens (Celery) Powder on the label. It's just celery, dried and ground down very fine.
Superhero or supervillain?
Superhero. Its superpower is its natural green color, which comes from chlorophyll.
What it does in my soap and clay masks
I use celery powder as a natural colorant for soft, earthy greens. Plant greens like chlorophyll aren't very stable, so expect the color to drift toward olive or khaki over time, faster in bright light.
The color it makes
Here it is in 1 thing I make.
Usually seen with french green clay, chamomile, chlorella and green tea.
Don’t judge an ingredient by its government name. Judge it by the science.
