Lake pigments are oil dispersible colourants that tint by dispersion. This means unlike our water soluble dyes these colourants need an oil to distribute them in water. This makes them a great option for colouring bath bombs. Lakes will give your bath bombs a bright pop of colour and will colour the bath water if enough is used.
- For bath bombs we use 2 tsp for our batches to achieve a bright red. More or less can be used.
- Poly 80 is recommended to avoid a ring in the tub.
- Lakes can be used in soap but may bleed. Colour not stable in high PH
- Approved for all cosmetic use (eyes, lips, and face) including bath bombs.
