kestagano04 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Does anybody use the Neon Collection from TKB? I'm wondering if anybody has any concerns with them chemical wise (not-cosmetic grade)? I know they are allowed in soaps in the US, and I'm trying to find non-bleeding bright colors. Are they a little too neon? Is there anything better or are these a good choice? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I have one of the TKB sample color packs. I love the colors but they don't blend well in M&P. Or only after you have stirred and stirred forever. I gave up and am sticking with liquid dyes. But I am trying them out in different B&B applications like liquid soap. I thought the powdered dyes were natural micas. Maybe I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestagano04 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Candybee,I was thinking about some of the liquid ones that are preblended in glycerin. I have read how the powdered ones are very difficult to blend in melt and pour. They say the neons are non-cosmetic grade, but I can't seem to find any additional info on them. Alot of the links on their website don't seem to be working properly.Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to liquid after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffancy Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Haven't tried the neon .... but with my POP colors I add them before I melt my M&P now. When I tried adding after I had melted I always ended up with some residual specks that would sink to the bottom/top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
