The 20ml Natural Ink Range is made up of 5 colours in a new and growing range, all foraged and produced by me from my local spaces. Double the size of the 10ml range, the larger bottles allow you to really experiment and play with the colours you love. Detailed on each bottle bought is a set of details including: The Type of Ink e.g. Oak Gall + Iron, Sweet Chestnut e.c.t, The date in which the Ink was foraged and the date it has been cooked and made and lastly the location in which it was foraged. You can see many share the same details, whether this is within the same city or village, they very much correspond to the spaces I encounter in my daily life.

20ml Bottled Locally Foraged Natural Inks
Storage
Certain Natural Inks such as Elderberry and other berry based inks are particularly susceptible to fermentation. I take every step to ensure this does not happen, however on occasion one slips through the cracks. This would show as bubbling when opened or some leakage out of the bottle. I recommend inks are stored in a cool dry place, If possible the fridge is the best place for them to extend their life.
Long Term Care
With the inks being made from natural materials, they can grow mould. In every bottle there is a drop of albas oil which prevents mould growth. However over time the effectiveness of this can waiver. If you open a bottle and there has been mold growth. Although never nice this isn't the end of the world for your ink, by simply scraping away the area and adding another drop or two of any essential oil you can extent the life of the inks you have.
