Hello everyone! I have some of he bath gel from SFIC, and I keep trying to figure out how to get a bath and body product to stay clear but colored, if that makes any sense. have used FD &C colorants and mica and everything is making it turn cloudy. Does anyone know what I should use? Thank you

Sonya

Add some polysorbate to the FO or EO before you add it.

Thank you Soapbuddy, but I hadn't gotten to that point yet! All I added was the colorant.

First I had added the colorant to gylcerin and added it to the bath gel, it foamed up. It wasn't liquid so I don't understand why it did that. I then tried the red mica to it without a carrier and it turned pink but cloudy, like if I had added some type of liquid to it.

Try adding the mica to the polysorbate along with the scent. Stir well, then mix into the base.
