Has anyone tried using this as a natural alternative to blue food dye?

No. It is very acidic and has a taste that is not exactly what I would call good

It does work, but I found the results to be inconsistent from package to package. It's not a bad product, but I found another I like better, but this one your asking about is 100% natural, and because it's plant based, that factors in for the results. Keep in mind that if you use this over and over, you can not go and use conventional dye (box dye in the store) as it will not work. Do your research on the internet about that topic, please. I used this a few times, but I didn't like that sometimes I got great coverage, sometimes not, so I started using Surya Brasil and I like it much better.

I haven't tried that - just mix it into wet food. I'm not sure that the powder would disolve... Curious if you made this work

Possibly. The yellow would. The blue is just foul. I didn't try the red but other reviews say you can get pink out of it. And I'd guess you would have to refrigerate the capsules afterward since the colors don't have preservatives.

Yes I did. The primary reason to buy it was To have light for my plants. With red light they grow faster and with blue light they grow very slow. The color has a clear reaction on photosyntesis. Good choice

I have never used it for that. It is organic and I don't see why not. I would give it a whirl.

We used Dawn dish liquid and water with the Neem on our blueberries. Seemed to work OK.

Yes it works great for it, however in about 4-6 weeks you will need to reapply but it is a great alternative to all the chemicals of dye.

I would say "Yes". I have very white skin and with this color it gave me black (softer then Nice'n Easy) and my natural brown would emerge, blending perfectly (I was really surprised, but you have to keep it longer for gray hear, specially at the roots, because it washes off very fast - specially around the face, I don't know why).

Yes, there are artificial colors. Suggest finding them at your store to read label of each flavor. Perhaps a different one than I chose, Sugar Free Mixed Berry, which is blue, would not have any artificial colors.

Marilyn, I think you can do so; I usually follow the recipes in the insert and if you go online Pomona has many other recipe variations. I also experiment on my own; last year I made a mixture of blueberries and rhubarb, it was fantastic!! I also used the Pomona Pectin to make pineapple jam. I was leaving for a 10 day trip and had this ripe pineapple which I could not use before leaving; hence, turned it into jam! It was wonderful. I use the Pomona Pectin because it is natural with no preservatives.

Yes it work well as an organic insecticide. A little goes a long way and rinse before eating unless you like the taste consistency of chaulk.

Yes I did, and will never do it again. Eventually after about 10 washes the navy dye I used faded from the machine. I complained to dylon and they sent me two items to get the colour from a wash I run after using the dye and looked very grubby. It did help but I did lose some items because they were really dull in colour. Just to let you know I would never use it again in any washing machine

No - it is only intended as spot coverage - let's you get an extra week between touchups. It is not a substitute for hair dye.

Yes, but be careful. Sometimes ingredients found in blue and green eyeshadow can be toxic when ingested.

I'm afraid there's too much yellow in indigo powder, though, in theory, it would be perfect. Purple shampoo is a scam. You can use food coloring in any shampoo. Colors on opposing sides of the color wheel cancel each other to grey; it's as simple as that. I think indigo adds a blue-green to your hair; you probably want purple instead, to cancel your yellow - so this is not the best. If you add RED food coloring, you will bring the indigo's color toward grey. If you add blue to your hair, it will cancel orange, pushing the color FROM orange, toward silver; if you add PURPLE to your hair, it will cancel yellow, pushing the color FROM yellow, toward silver. Keep in mind that every pigment you add will darken your hair. You probably don't want to ADD any YELLOW to your hair, and I'm afriad indigo powder has yellow pigment in it (which makes it blue-green and NOT blue) so may turn the yellows in your blonde greenish. It doesn't last long, so worth a shot! Just add red food coloring if you get greenish. You'll get a darker silver than you may want. If indigo were TRULY INDIGO in color, it would be perfect.
