Description
Great for bath salts, lotions, shampoos, soaps.
Formulated specifically for soap and lotion makers. Not recommend for use in oil based products such as lip gloss simply because this is a water-based product and oil and water do not mix.
Our Liquid Lakes are designed to color salts, lotion, shampoo, soaps and other toiletries.
Using Liquid Lakes to color Salt Dyes
This product is a DYE (not a pigment) mixed in glycerin. It is water soluble and it will color the bath water you put it into. If you use too much in order to make a really strong color, you run the risk of staining the tub or a washcloth.
For this reason, we recommend a light touch.
The easiest way to color a bath salt project is to put the raw ingredients in a plastic bag, squeeze in the appropriate amount of Liquid Lake, and then mush it all together. Kind of like kneading bread. Generally, we recommend 1 drop of dye per 1 tablespoon of product to get to a medium shade.
The Liquid Lake may be used “as is”, but if you feel it is too thick to work with you can either heat it up gently to make it more viscous, or you can add water to it.
If you choose to add water, you may add as much as 1 part water to 1 part dye. Because glycerin is a natural preservative, you may store this for up to a year without worry. However, if you do add this much water, you will see some settling out of color, and you will have to shake the bottle before each use.
Cosmetic Grade:
- USA approved for use: Face, Lips, NOT Eyes

Stable, but will bleed in soap.
