Teach Soap

Just double checking that I can use Ultramarines & oxides in body scrubs. I pre-mix them with a carrier oil. (No water in my formula.)

Now, what about massage bars? Can I use the same colorants or will they not work.
I am using jojoba beads for this at the moment.

Thanx:)

Ultramarines & oxides can stain. I would use oil based colorants, but not too much because they can stain as well. BrambleBerry carries oil based colorants. http://www.brambleberry.com/Pigments-C45.aspx

I am still a little confused on oil based and water based colorants. I thought oxides and ultramarines were oil based.
I am looking for something that will not migrate if I add different colors.

I am looking for something to use in scrubs.

I do have some FD&C colorants as well, which I do use for my bath bombs to color the water.

Can you please help direct me to which colorants you were refering to from your site.
Thanx.

are Lakes dispersible in oil? Would they work for scrubs and massage bars?

I am making emulsified scrubs.

This is from one of my suppliers here in Canada, and it states:
This product is a DYE (not a pigment) mixed in glycerine. It is water soluable and will colour the bath water.


One more question so, FD&C colorants I know can be mixed in water. bUt can they be mixed in oil too?


Thanx for all ure help.
Sometimes information from different suppliers get me so confused.

SO a FD&C Blue 1 is different from a Blue 1 Lake???
