JacquiO Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I've seen lotions that have a slight tint of color and I'm wondering what colorants can be used and what has the best result (least staining etc.).TIA,J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister Kya Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I had good luck with FD&C liquids I picked up at Michael's. Just a drop or two can give you a nice tint with no staining. It's how I did the lotions in this pic...They may fade a bit over time, I'm sure there are more stable ways to tint, but for those of us just playing around this worked great.

JacquiO Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 I was wondering if food coloring was okay. It certainly makes it more cost effiicient for just starting out. Thanks!Nice pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
