Symplocos Racemosa - Plant Based Alum Mordant

Symplocos is a plant which absorbs and stores Aluminium from the soil in its leaves making it a totally organic source of Alum for mordanting natural dyes. By replacing Aluminium Sulphate with ground Symplocos leaves in your dyeing recipes - you are replacing it with a purely plant based mordant. 

Use at 50-100% and re-use the mordant bath.
