Mimosa Hostilis/Tenuiflora
Jurema Preta / Tepezcohuite
Nature has gifted us with a vast array of resources, and among them, Mimosa Hostilis stands out as a remarkable plant with versatile properties. Beyond its cultural and medicinal significance, Mimosa Hostilis root bark has long been utilized as a natural dye, bringing vibrant colors to textiles and artistic creations. In this blog, we explore the fascinating world of Mimosa Hostilis as a dye and the captivating hues it imparts.
•Historical Roots of Natural Dyes•
The art of dyeing with natural substances spans thousands of years, deeply rooted in human history and culture. Before the advent of synthetic dyes, plants, minerals, and even certain insects were used to obtain colors for fabrics and decorative purposes. Mimosa Hostilis root bark has been treasured by indigenous communities in South America for its dyeing properties for centuries.
•The Magic of Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark•
The rich, dark brown root bark of the Mimosa Hostilis tree contains pigments that create a stunning range of colors when extracted. The bark's high tannin content plays a crucial role in dye production, as tannins have an affinity for binding to fibers, making the dye more durable and long-lasting.
.•Preparation and Use•
To create natural dye from Mimosa Hostilis root bark, a simple preparation process is used. The bark is carefully dried and finely shredded, then mixed with water or a suitable liquid to create a dye bath. Through gentle soaking, simmering, or even ice bath dyeing, the rich color is slowly released and absorbed by fabrics or materials.
Or also when boiling, and simmering the color from the bark is released and absorbed by the fibers
•Vibrant Hues•
Mimosa Hostilis root bark dye yields an exquisite range of colors, ranging from warm earth tones to deep shades of purples and blues. Depending on the fabric type, mordants (substances that help fix the dye to the fibers) can be used to modify and enhance the color palette. The resulting hues possess a natural and unique quality, adding character and depth to textiles.
•Sustainable and Eco-Friendly•
One of the significant advantages of using Mimosa Hostilis root bark as a dye is its eco-friendliness. Unlike synthetic dyes that often contain harmful chemicals and pollutants, natural dyes are biodegradable and do not contribute to environmental pollution. Additionally, sourcing dye materials from sustainable and ethically harvested Mimosa Hostilis root bark ensures a responsible approach to dye production.
•Exploring Creative Possibilities•
Mimosa Hostilis dye offers an exciting playground for artistic expression. From textiles to paper, yarn, and even natural cosmetics, the dye can be applied to various mediums, allowing artists and craftsmen to create unique and captivating pieces. Its versatility and ability to interplay with different fibers and materials make it a favored choice for those seeking a connection to nature in their creations.
Mimosa Hostilis root bark, with its innate dyeing properties, allows us to tap into nature's palette and bring forth vibrant colors. Its historical significance, eco-friendly nature, and the artistic possibilities it offers make it a remarkable resource for those seeking a connection to traditional dyeing techniques and a sustainable approach to creativity using natural dye alternatives

•ABOUT MIMOSA HOSTILIS•
Mimosa tenuiflora, also known as Jurema, Tepezcohuite, or Mimosa Hostilis, is a perennial tree native to South and Central America. Its root bark, stem, and leaves have long been used to make soaps, creams, lotions, and natural dyes. Traditionally used for treating burns, scars, and as a skin tonic, it contains around 16% tannins, which help stop bleeding by acting as an astringent.
Though not fully researched, Mimosa is believed to be antiseptic, analgesic, and support skin regeneration. It’s used in dermatology to reduce wrinkles, acne, and scars from psoriasis, herpes, and chickenpox. It may also protect and stimulate collagen and elasticity.
It gained fame when used to treat over 5,000 burn victims after a gas explosion in Mexico. Its popularity in natural skincare and organic dyeing is growing, yet it remains rare in Europe—ideal for creating unique soaps or dyed fabrics to gift or sell.
Our Mimosa Hostilis inner root bark is sourced from a sustainable South American farm, free of pesticides and chemicals. Bark is harvested without harming the tree. The inner bark is dried at low temperatures to preserve potency, while leftover material is turned into compost for reforestation projects.
What can be dyed?
Light-colored (preferably white) natural fibers work best.
Curtains
Towels
T-shirts
Bed sheets & pillowcases

How to Dye..

- Towels
- T-shirts
- Sheets and pillow cases
- Handkerchiefs
- Baby clothes
- Paper
purple red color precipitates out at about pH 7. Acid makes it red, and base makes it brown
*How to Get Started Dyeing*
Step 1: Prepare the Dye
Add twice as much water as ingredients. So if you put in two cups of plant material, add four cups of water.
Bring to a boil, and then simmer for one hour. Strain off the hard materials and keep the “dye.”
Keep in mind that the longer you let the materials sit in the water, the stronger your dye is going to be. If you have the time, you can even let it soak overnight (without heat) to get a really concentrated solution.
Step 2: Prepare the Fixative
Once you’ve picked out what you want to dye and you’ve got your dye all ready to go, you have to prepare a fixative for your fabric. This will “fix” the dye into the fibers so it won’t wash out.
If you’re using plants to dye your fabric, you have to use a vinegar fixative. Combine one part vinegar and four parts water, and boil the fabric in the mixture for one hour.
When your fabric is done, rinse it out under cold water.
Step 3: Dye the Fabric
All you do now is place your wet fabric into the dye bath and simmer until the fabric has reached the color and shade you want, Then wash the fabric separately.
Remember the color is going to be a bit lighter once the fabric dries out.
Here is a simple guide to dyeing with mimosa hostilis to achieve purple and pink tones, including tips on how pH affects the final colour
Mimosa hostilis dyeing for
purple and pink shades ⤵️
What you need:
- Finely shredded mimosa hostilis root bark.
- Stainless steel or enamel pot.
- water ( preferably distilled).
- mordant (e.g alum or vinegar).
- Fine strainer or cheesecloth.
- Fabric or yarn ( Natural fibres like cotton, wool or silk work best).
⬇️DYEING STEPS/INSTRUCTIONS BELOW ⬇️
**Dyeing Steps**
1. **Prepare the Dye Bath**
Combine 50g of shredded Mimosa Hostilis with one liter of water.
Simmer on low heat for 1 to 2 hours.
Allow it to cool, then strain the bark using cheesecloth or a fine strainer to obtain a deep reddish-brown concentrate.
2. **Mordant the Fabric
(optional but enhances colorfastness):**
Soak the fabric in a mixture of water and 1 tablespoon of alum or vinegar per liter of water. - Let it sit for 1 to 2 hours, then rinse.
3. **Adjust the pH for Desired Colors:**
Acidic (pH 4–5):
Add vinegar to the dye bath for reddish-pink or magenta tones.
Neutral (pH 6–7):
No additives will yield soft purples and mauves. -
Alkaline (pH 8–10):
Add a small amount of washing soda for deep purples, bluish-pinks, or lavender.
4. **Dyeing the Fabric:**
Use damp fabric into the warm dye bath.
Simmer gently (avoid boiling) for 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
For more intense colors, allow the fabric soak overnight in the dye bath after heating.
5. **Rinse and Dry:**
Rinse with cool water until it runs clear.
Hang to dry away from direct sunlight to maintain the color.
**Tips:**
Always conduct a test on a small fabric swatch first. - Keep a record of your pH levels and dyeing times for consistent results. - Monitor pH shifts during dyeing with test strips if possible.

Mimosa hostilis, also known as Jurema, is believed to offer various skin-related benefits. Making soap infused with Mimosa hostilis can be a rewarding way to harness these potential advantages. Below is a comprehensive guide to crafting Mimosa hostilis soap for skin benefits.
**Materials Needed:**
- 1 pound (450g) melt-and-pour soap base (unscented)
- 2 tablespoons of finely powdered Mimosa hostilis root bark
- 2 tablespoons of Mimosa hostilis-infused oil (see instructions below)
- 10-15 drops of skin-friendly essential oil (e.g., lavender, chamomile, or tea tree)
- Soap molds
- Microwave-safe bowl

- Measuring cups
**Step-by-Step Instructions:**

- Grind 2 tablespoons of dried Mimosa hostilis root bark into a fine powder.
- Combine the root bark powder with 2 tablespoons of a carrier oil (e.g., olive oil, coconut oil) in a glass jar.
- Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks. This allows the oil to extract the beneficial properties of the Mimosa hostilis root bark.
**2. Cut and Melt the Soap Base:**
- Cut the melt-and-pour soap base into small cubes for even melting.
- Place the soap cubes in a microwave-safe bowl.
**3. Melt the Soap Base:**
- Microwave the soap base in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until it is completely melted. Avoid overheating.
**4. Incorporate the Mimosa Hostilis Ingredients:**
- Add 2 tablespoons of finely powdered Mimosa hostilis root bark to the melted soap base.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of the Mimosa hostilis-infused oil you prepared earlier. This will infuse your soap with the skin-friendly properties of Mimosa hostilis.
**5. Add Essential Oil:**
- For added skin benefits and fragrance, incorporate 10-15 drops of your chosen skin-friendly essential oil into the soap mixture. Essential oils like lavender, chamomile, or tea tree are suitable choices.
**6. Pour into Soap Molds:**
- Pour the Mimosa hostilis-infused soap mixture into your selected soap molds. You can use various shapes and sizes based on your preference.
**7. Allow to Cool and Set:**
- Let the soap molds sit undisturbed for approximately 1-2 hours or until the soap has fully cooled and solidified.
**8. Unmold and Store:**
- Once the soap has set, gently remove it from the molds.
- Store your Mimosa hostilis soap in a cool, dry place, ensuring it fully air-dries before use.
**9. Enjoy Your Skin-Benefiting Mimosa Hostilis Soap:**
- Your homemade Mimosa hostilis soap is ready for use! Experience the potential skin-nourishing properties and the pleasing aroma of this natural creation.
Mimosa hostilis soap may offer skin-soothing and conditioning benefits. However, it's essential to perform a patch test before regular use to ensure compatibility with your skin. Additionally, source Mimosa hostilis responsibly and ethically, considering its conservation status in some regions.
