Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of natural Dry Colour composition using natural dyes and natural ingredients for direct skin application and other non-edible purposes. In a process natural, eco-friendly, pharmaceutical and/or food grade ingredients are blended with natural dyes. The procedure is novel as steatite and starch are taken together as bulking materials along with a natural thickening and binding agents such as guar gum or other food hydrocolloids. This combination provides a powder material having soft and supple touch with good sticking capacity to skin. No such combination has been reported till now. The blending of bulking agents / fillers with activated natural dye solution with mordents in the presence of guar or other gums provides a synergistic mixture of dry colour powder having desirable properties to be used for direct skin application.
