1oz. FUCHSIA Bath Bomb DYE, Batch Certified D&C Red 33, 91% Water Soluble Cosmetic Colorant, Container Packaging, Two Wild Hares

FUCHSIA is our name for D&C Red 33. It is 91% pure dye. It's batch certified so it's legal for use in appropriate for sale products in the USA. Be sure you research the max usage rate and appropriate use of this in your products. This is great for bath bombs and other cosmetics.

D&C Red 33 is water soluble. pH stablility 4-10x turns orange over pH of 10. Because this dye is extremely concentrated, the dye in the bag will not be the same color dry as it is once it's dissolved in water, so don't be alarmed.

As with any colorant, lighter shades are achieved using less and darker shades achieved using more. This color makes a vibrant fuschia (pink-purple) shade in water. Although the dissolved in a glass pictures look similar to Red 28, this color has a purple hue to it that Red 28 does not. Red 33 is a great mixer with Blue 1 for purple.

This listing is for 1 oz in container packaging.

Pictures above are:
Red 33 dissolved in a couple strengths, dissolved red 33 dye dripped on a paper towel, dissolved dye mixed with 125g baking soda. As you can see, red 33 bloomed bicarb doesn't look like it does in water. It shows it's color fully in water.

This will color water more vibrantly than any other colorant, but it's extremely concentrated, so you will use little & you must dissolve it in a diluent containing water before use. The step to dissolve is very easy and instructions are outlined below.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING DYE:
Dyes dissolve in water or glycerin and must be pre-dissolved before use in bath bombs. Add a very small amount of water to a condiment cup. Use a tiny spoon (like a 0.15cc mica spoon) to transfer dye to the condiment cup. Use the minimum amount needed to dissolve the dye. You cannot add dye dry to bath bomb mix or it will result in spotty weak color in the product. Run sample tests & keep notes to see how much to use for your recipe or product to get the shade you want. More will give a richer color, less will give a pastel color.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING LAKES:
Dyes are oil and water dispersible meaning you can add them directly to bath bomb mix without pre-dissolving. No need to "bloom" baking soda either. Just add, mix and go! They are the easiest to use bath bomb colorant and have about 1/2 the strength of dye, but are still very vibrant color.

Both dyes and lakes are u/v sensitive and can morph and/or fade in light or various pH. Some colors are more sensitive than others. Mica can be used in addition to anchor or alter visible color of products. Once dyes or lake colored products hit water, the colors will show true even if they have u/v faded or morphed. Dyes are more finicky than lakes. I personally prefer dyes for embeds and lakes for exterior product color. Dyes are finicky, but nothing is more vibrant in an embed as dye. Lakes are easy to use and easy to tweak color with and a bit more stable. Both are necessary in bath bomb making.

READ!
Please research the legality of the use of this color in your product and for where you live. Follow the usage rates and guidelines for each individual color. FD&C dyes have an important learning curve to properly use including pre dissolving, pH morphing, U/V fade and differing usage rates. Please do your research.

FAQ:

WHAT IS BATCH CERTIFICATION & WHY IS IT SO COSTLY?

Batch certification is what is required to be able to legally sell cosmetics in the USA using FD&C and D&C colorants. If you are selling cosmetics using colorants without batch certification, you are out of compliance with US law.

IS TWO WILD HARES CERTIFIED TO SPLIT DYES?

No. Our dyes are split professionally by the manufacturer in approved clean rooms, not in our place of business. Paying for the professional splitting of these dyes into small lots is very costly, but but we feel it is the best way to ensure that no cross contamination between colors has occurred. The specialized rooms these dyes are split in are designed & ventilated for this purpose. It takes several hours to clean a room between colors because the colorant powders are extremely airborne.

PURE DYES vs LAKE DYES:

We carry pure dyes and only high dye load lakes in our shop, so a little goes a long way. Be sure to compare apples to apples when shopping for colorants. High dye load lakes are much more concentrated and that accounts for price difference seller to seller. So compare apples to apples. Our high dye lakes are 34-50% dye content and our water soluble dyes are 80-95% pure dye.

~Please note all sales are final on colorants. We cannot accept returns on them.

Favorite our shop to see all our lakes and dyes and new colors as they arrive. We have a lot of color sets at a discount price as well.
