"I've had no luck creating a purple/lavender with blending your Blue Bath Bomb lake with the Red Bath Bomb Lake. I've only ever managed to achieve a dirty grey? I've tried different percentages 2/3-1/3, half/half etc but always results in a yukky dull taupe! What am I doing wrong? Do your Lakes require some special "blooming" techniques? thanks in advance for any advice you may provide."

Staff Answer These two colors do not blend together very well to make a nice shade of purple for a bath bomb. If using in clear MP soap, the color would be fine. In a white base, you will only get gray as you have found. You may want to use NuTone Purple, Amethyst Purple Mica or Purple Galaxy Mica to achieve a nice purple in a bath bomb.

To mix in the color I saw a link to spray the Epsom salt with rubbing alcohol to moisten the salts, then add the powder. Does your group have another recommendation to ensure the powder is adhered to the salt and not sitting at the bottom of the jar? Thanks, Erin. "

Staff Answer This is the process used most often for coloring salts. You can also mix the essential oil with the salts, then while the salts are wet mix in the color. Once dry, the color will adhere to the salts.

"I purchased these in blue, red, and yellow. The description says it won't leave a ring around your tub, but when I test my bath bombs they leave a ring around the tub and a lot of residue. Why is this happening? I use polysorbate 80. I am using about 1 and 1/4 to 1 and 1/2 teaspoons per bath bomb. Am i using too much? I want to sell my bath bombs but I can't have them stained people's tubs! "

Staff Answer It seems like you are using quite a bit of color. You might use that for a whole batch. Be sure you are using an equal amount of Poly 80 to the oils/fragrance you are using in your recipe. If you want to color your bath bombs dark, you cannot completely prevent color from staining the tub.

Staff Answer If a lake or dye is used as part of a color (such as our liquid stained glass colors) the blend containing the color does not need to be certified. If you use a pure powdered dye or lake in a regulated cosmetic then they need to be batch certified if you sell your products and not make them just for yourself or hobby. The certificate does not follow a supplier when they break the drum into smaller quantities unless the vendor has applied to be a "repack" certificate or if there is a specific

Staff Answer Jay,

Unfortunately, it looks like you've chosen colors that are affected by high pH levels. This causes the color to morph during the saponification process. Look under the "additional information' tab on each color for the "Performance Results". The 'Product pH' will indicate if the color will change.

You can also test the color in a small amount of household ammonia to see if it will morph. Matte Cobalt Blue Ultramarine Powder is great for blue cp soap.
