BODY SAFE DRY PIGMENT
COLORANTS
Cosmetic Grade Ultramarines & Oxides
--- WATER SOLUBLE DYES - NOT
FOR CANDLE MAKING --- |
|
Oxides are typically earthy tone
pigments. Please be aware that your results may differ due to the
base oils you select and also the initial color of your fragrance or
essential oil. Always test all brands and types of colorants before
adding to your entire batch since your oils and fragrance color are
often different from batch to batch and vendor to vendor. One-fourth
to one-half teaspoon of pigments per pound of base oils is a nice
range to start with and adjust from there. You don't want to over do
it since you'll end up with colored bubbles which is not considered
a desirable thing. Mix dry pigment in a cup with a small amount of
warm distilled water (start with about teaspoon) until smooth, pour
some traced soap into a small measuring cup and add some of the
water mixed pigment to it a small amount at a time. This way you can
check your color with your oils, before adding to your batch. If all
is as you want it, slowly add into your batch while mixing until
desired color is achieved. Keep in mind that you will be adding this
to the larger batch of soap, which will dilute the intensity of the
pigment you mixed, so mix a bit heavy if you're after a strong color
vs. soft and pastel. Do not save any unused pigment that you've
mixed with water and always use distilled water for mixing
ultramarine & oxides. Non-distilled water causes some of the
pigments to react with elements in the water and gives off a foul
smell. We have not had this problem when using distilled water.
Again, do not save and try to reuse any left over premixed pigment.
Always mix fresh. Pictures are not the actual colors. These are only
here to give you a visual of approximate tint. |
