Why Choose Butterfly Pea?
Naturally Vivid BlueA visually striking botanical that makes products and displays easy to recognize.
Easy to Infuse in Water
The flower’s signature anthocyanin pigments are water-soluble, so water is the natural starting point when blue color matters. [R2]
Color That Responds to pH
Butterfly pea extracts can shift from blue toward purple or other tones as pH changes, giving formulators a useful color story to explore. [R2]
Whole-Flower Appeal
Use it as a preparation material or keep the flower visible in selected bath, spa and botanical blends.
What Can You Make With It?
Blue Botanical Infusions
Create vivid water-based infusions for further product testing or use as a botanical preparation.
Bath Teas & Bath Salts
Add whole flowers for strong visual contrast in bath and spa concepts.
Soap & Body-Care Concepts

Appearance & Natural Batch Variation
Butterfly pea is an agricultural botanical. Flower size, blue-purple shade, petal integrity and aroma can vary between lots. If whole-flower appearance matters, protective packing may be more important than squeezing the flowers into the smallest possible carton.
What Should You Check Before Bulk?
- Botanical identity and correct plant part.
- Whole-flower integrity and the amount of breakage.
- Characteristic blue-purple appearance for the agreed grade.
- Dryness and foreign matter.
- Packing that protects low-density flowers from crushing.
- Microbiology, heavy metals or pesticides when your market or application requires them.
Quality, Testing & Documents
For larger orders, match the document set to your project. Depending on the current lot and your requirements, this may include a product specification, COA, identity information, moisture or foreign-matter data, microbiology, heavy metals, pesticides or other available test reports. Ask us what is available for the current lot.
