Vegan lipstick replacement.

The name alkana comes from the Arabic word for "root." Alkana is an evergreen, Mediterranean plant, growing in shrubs up to 50 cm tall, with a woody trunk at the base and leaves covered with soft, white hairs.

In addition to tannins, flavonoids, and wax-like substances, the root also contains alkanin, a red-purple pigment that was used in ancient times to color food and textiles.
