ah-soy Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Use real cocoa powder....works great and it's natural!Edited to add, it will smell like cocoa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 You can also use oil based colorants...the ones made for lip balms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ah-soy Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Do a search for oil based colors...suppliers should come up. WSP does have them but they're a bit far for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann M Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I have used the oil based colorants from WSP and didn't like them. It took so much just to get a light color. It would have taken the entire bottle to color something vividly.Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
