Ancient Sunrise ®
CMC Powder
food grade carboxymethyl cellulose

The texture of indigo paste is more difficult to handle than henna paste, and can be a nuisance when dyeing your hair.
If you add CMC powder, the texture is much easier to work with!  

CMC is the abbreviation of carboxymethyl cellulose, a product of cornstarch, often used as a thickener in salad dressings.  
It makes salad dressings thick and creamy instead of runny.  It will help smoothe out your indigo paste!
