Hello everyone!

I'm new here in the forums, and I've noticed that some of you like using Wilton icing colors for bath bombs and fizzes, but because they don't really list the ingredients or FD&C's they use for each individual color some of you have stopped using them. Well, I decided to go and contact the company to see if they would be willing to provide this information for us. They were more than willing to provide the FD&C's for each color. In fact I'll post the colors from the set I have and inquired about. I hope this helps.

Lemon Yellow- FD&C Yellow #5
Pink- FD&C Red #3, FD&C Yellow #5, FD&C Red #40
Orange- FD&C Yellow #6
Red/Red- FD&C Red #3, FD&C Red #40, FD&C Yellow #6, FD&C Yellow #5
Royal Blue- FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Red #3
Violet- FD&C Red #3, FD&C Blue #1
Leaf Green- FD&C Yellow #5, FD&C Blue #1
Black-FD&C Red #40, FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Yellow #5, FD&C Blue #2

Thank you for the info. Besides the colors, what else is in it? I was told that they are not approved in bath and body care. They also bleed and fade. It was my understanding that they also contain propylene glycol and polysorbate 20. I would not want that in my products.

Also, even though FD&C Blue #2 and FD&C Red #3 say FD&C, they are not on the FDA's approved cosmetic colorants list

This is what I'm reading from the box.

Water, Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Glycerin, Sugar, Sorbitol, Food Starch - Modified (Corn [Corn Starch]), Carragenan, Agar Gum, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Salt, and Citric Acid.

Hope that helps!

I've seen a few folks use these to colour bath bombs, I've also seen a few people with horrible rashes from using those bath bombs. :| I, personally, wouldn't risk it.

I'm not saying that colouring ones' children blue is a good thing, but I'm also not saying that I didn't giggle when I read that. My sister once dyed my nephew's face purple with gentian violet, I laughed at that too! :lol: :mrgreen:

I only laugh because its not permanent!!!

food colorants are not the same as cosmetic/bath and body colorants and should not be used. It is akin to using crayons to color lip balm. It comes from a home-craft idea. Somebody wrote "do this" so people do it and think it is okay and they pass along the idea without knowing about it, except what they have heard or read. But it is really not okay, and it is certainly not okay when you want to sell the products.

I would never use food colorants in any products I make. If they are called food colorants then they have no business being in a bar of soap! :lol:
I can only imagine the problems with staining and sensitivity that can come from all that! It's too risky for a business or even a home crafter if she gives it away to someone!

I've recently switched to using micas and oxides in my products mainly because I feel more comfortable using them. I posted this for those who do use them because it's important information to know. Only a select few of the ones I listed could actually be used. So my point behind this was to do your research before using something.

I feel sorry for the poor kid who was turned blue. Poor little guy. Although I got to thinking, how much colorant did she use because if it's staining your skin chances are you've used to much.
