Hi, hope everyone is having a great day!

ok, so here is my silly question... I just bought some pre -made lotion base. Now can I add soap safe color to it?, what would be the ratio? I can't seem to find it. and when I add a fragrance will it discolor the lotion like it does in soap?

thanks

Soap safe colors are not always cosmetic safe. Make sure that your colors are lotion safe. For fragrances with a large vanilla content, some do discolor. The only way to know for sure, is to add the fragrance to a small amount of lotion, then wait a week or so to see if it has discolored.

I havea set of 12 lab color, which I bought at NDA -which I understand came from Brambleberry. (From the pamphlet that came with it. )
It says that it is lotion safe.So this is what I will be using.

I will have to check out the fragrances
