Red 40 Batch Certified Lake Powder for Bold Orange-Red Color

Product Details

Red 40 Batch Certified Lake Powder shares its warm, orange leaning red with the dye version, but as a lake it plays by different rules. Built for oil based and dry formulations rather than water, this 37% concentration colorant blends smoothly into recipes that need a dynamic, energetic red without any liquid to activate it.

It holds its tone well in oil, making it a reliable choice for bath fizzies that need lasting, vivid color.

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.
