Revolutionary Red Dye/Pigment Blend

Calling all soap makers - it's time for a red revolution! Our Revolutionary Red Dye/Pigment Blend ensures your confidently bold reds won't budge, bleed, or fade - so you can "stay true" to that perfect hue! No more pink washouts, no more colour guessing games - it's time to revolutionize your soap-making with red!

This incredible red is made with ELARA™ pigments by DayGlo, the only neon colors that are batch-certified and approved for cosmetic use.

Lightfastness has been improved an average of 2.5 times over other fluorescent colorants. Elara™ colorants can be used in oil-based and solvent or water-born formulations. These colorants employ a revolutionary new thermoset polymer that is resistant to the solvents commonly employed in nail enamels and hair sprays. This makeup colorant performs well in all types of personal care products, including lip gloss and lip sticks, lotions and soaps, face paint, temporary hair color, and nail lacquer to name a few.

Batch certification information of the dyes used in this mixture is available upon request. Revoltionary Red meets Nurture Soap's incredibly high purity standards.

Prop 65: This product is not on the CA Prop 65 list of toxic chemicals.

• Use rate in cold & hot process soaps: 1.5-2 teaspoons per pound of oils.
• Use rate in melt & pour soaps: .5 teaspoons per pound of oils.

~ More or less can be added to achieve your desired color. These usage rates are recommended for no colored lather. ~

It is very important to start with a white base. Soaping oils that are yellow or green will affect any color. Do not add Titanium Dioxide to whiten the base, as this will make the red more pastel.

Do not use more than 2 teaspoons per pound! You don't need to. This color is a rich red at 1.5 - 2 tsp. per pound of oils (a great use rate for red). More will make a more brick colored red than using it at the recommended use rate.

Revolutionary Red will need to be blended into your soap well for best results. You may portion off a tablespoon (or so) of your soap making oils and disperse the color before adding it to your soap.

When used at 2 tsp. per pound of oils in CP soap, this red would transfer to a washcloth but once rinsed, come right off the cloth. You may want to test a small amount for staining if you are concerned that this color may stain washcloths.
