About this color

Red 27 Batch Certified Lake Powder trades subtlety for impact. At a 19% dye load, this oil soluble lake delivers an intense, saturated pink that's hard to miss and even harder to replicate with a weaker colorant.

Because lakes work through oil rather than water, this one blends beautifully into oil based and dry recipes, holding its bold pink tone through the entire life of your bath bomb.

Use Rate

CP Soap: Lakes are not recommended for CP soap. They tend to morph, migrate into other colors, and bleed.

MP & Liquid Soap: Lakes can be premixed in glycerin then added to liquid and melt & pour soaps. be sure to mix very well or you may end up with colored powder speckles in your soap!

Bath Bombs: Lakes don't need to be bloomed like dyes do and they're super easy to use! Only a small amount is needed. We recommend using a .15cc mini scoop and add color slowly until you reach your desired shade. you may also premix the lake in a small amount of glycerin before adding to your bath bomb mix to prevent speckling.

Use Polysorbate 80! Polysorbate 80 should be used with lakes at half your oils to prevent a ring around the tub or staining. For example, if your oils = 3 teaspoons use 1.5 teaspoons of polysorbate 80.
