Description
Uses
Colorant intended for melt & pour or cold-processed soap.
Recommendations
Use 1–5 drops per pound depending on the intensity (richness) of the color desired.
How soft or vibrant a color turns out usually depends on the amount of liquid colorant used. Please remember that it is easier to add more colorant than it is to remove it once added. Our colorants are very concentrated and a little goes a long way. Add just a few drops at a time and work your way up until the desired color has been achieved.
Watch Out For
If a clear product has bubbles that are colored then too much colorant was used. When scenting lotions or products that will be applied to the skin, using too much colorant may color the skin.
This colorant has only been tested on our Melt & Pour Soap.

What does FD&C and D&C Mean?
In the United States, with the exception of one class of hair dyes, all color additives for cosmetics must be specifically pre-approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration. A law that governs cosmetics, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, requires that FDA issue a specific regulation for each color additive which prescribes its conditions of use and the specifications for its safe use.
The official names for color additives in the U.S. are designated by the FDA. Colors subject to batch certification are designated as FD&C (food, drug, and cosmetics), D&C (drug and cosmetics), or Ext. D&C (external drugs and cosmetics). This is followed by a color designation, such as blue or red, and by No. (for number), and by a numeral. An example of such a name is FD&C Red No. 40. Colors made by combining these “straight” colors with “substrates” (sodium, potassium, aluminum, barium, calcium strontium, or zirconium) are known as “lakes” and are named using the same convention, but with the addition of the word lake and the substrate, for example: FD&C Red No. 40 Aluminum Lake.
