Description
Finely ground mimosa hostilis dye powder releases more tannin.
MHRB is material with an extraordinarily high concentration of tannins and we have some mimosa hostilis dye powder in stock. That is why it’s worth our time grinding the root bark so finely. Tanners will love the texture, which at stages of tanning will provide not only tannin, but also friction. Tanners use blades obliquely to remove fatty tissue and flesh from the hide. Afterwards, mimosa comes in to its own, “sanding” the skin and tanning as it goes. If you require a rougher texture mimosa, try our Fine Shredded Mimosa.
Similarly, anyone seeking to get the most pigment per pound from our mhrb dye (this is one of our most expensive dyes), will appreciate that the hard grind has been done. Smaller test samples are available of both our shredded and ground mimosa hostilis dye powder.
We ship in plain old fashioned biodegradable packaging and even the cellophane bag will degrade in a municipal compost.
The best part in the right way.
The highest quality part of each plant (in this case root bark taken from the right depth) is used here, no other part of the plant, so there is no unnecessary plant matter to get in your way. Our customers return again and again for bespoke professional projects, they appreciate that the very fine-ground powder is so easy to work with.
Packed with tannins.
We supply mimosa hostilis inner root bark for tanning, dyeing and leather work. It’s absolutely packed with skin-preserving tannins. If you want to tan your own hides, this is a rich single-substance source.

I was looking for a reliable source of Mimosa Hostilis root bark powder and found these guys. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! The powder is pure, and fresh. I use it for extraction and dye, and it works perfectly every time. What’s even better is that it arrived quickly and well-packaged. Definitely a trusted seller, and I will be ordering again!

I’ve been using Mimosa Hostilis for a while now and decided to try this website after reading the reviews. The yield from the powder is high and it’s very finely ground. The quality is excellent, and the price is fair for the amount you get. A must-try!
