benthere-donethat Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I've been experimenting with hot-process transparent soap via Catherine Failor's book. When I make CP, I use herbal colorings like alkanet root, spirulina, etc. Does anyone have experience doing this with transparent soap? In Failor's book, she uses regular food coloring. If I decided to go this route, how would I list that on the label? I'm hoping there's something more 'poetic' than Food Grade Food Coloring.

natrldsastr Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I don't think food coloring is approved for cosmetic use, so I don't advise this for something you would sell. Look into some of the soap dyes--Labcolors from BB, or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibiscus Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hmm I think that Mcormick food coloring is used for FD&C. You wouldn't list is as Mcormick because each color has it's own name such as red#40 and so on. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
