Introducing the Pomegranate Gel Colorant—a highly concentrated, stable, and vibrant pigment designed to infuse your products with the deep, luxurious color of fresh pomegranate seeds.

Its easy-to-use gel consistency ensures effortless, lump-free mixing and a uniform color distribution, making it an essential cosmetic pigment for artisans and manufacturers worldwide.

Product Description and Key Features

The Pomegranate Gel Colorant is a premium, high-strength coloring agent formulated to deliver consistent, intense color payoff with minimal usage. Its gel base makes it an excellent choice for water-based and melt-and-pour formulations, as it disperses instantly and completely. The stability of this pigment is exceptional, resisting fading and migration to ensure your finished product maintains its striking look over time.

Key properties and advantages:

• High Concentration: Extremely pigmented, requiring only a few drops to achieve a vibrant, deep red or a subtle pink hue, ensuring cost-effectiveness.

• Superior Dispersion: The smooth gel texture mixes quickly and evenly into various bases, eliminating speckling or streaking.

• Color Stability: Highly stable against light and heat, preventing color loss or migration in multi-layered products.

• Versatile Use: Ideal for both soap making and a broad range of cosmetic and bath products.

• Safety Profile: Manufactured using components approved for use in the cosmetic industry.

Applications and Usage Areas

The Pomegranate Gel Colorant is a versatile creative tool, perfect for adding sophistication and depth to many product lines.

Soap Making (Melt & Pour and Cold Process):

• Melt & Pour Soap: Effortlessly creates deep, transparent reds or soft cranberry hues. The gel consistency helps prevent air bubbles typically associated with powder pigments.

• Cold Process Soap: While testing is always recommended for CP soap, this pigment provides reliable, vibrant red tones that are often difficult to achieve in lye-based formulas.

Bath and Body Cosmetics:

• Bath Bombs and Fizzies: Used to color the dry mix, it results in a beautiful color display when dissolving in the bath water.

• Shower Gels and Body Washes: Imparts a luxurious pomegranate red shade to liquid cleansers.

• Sugar and Salt Scrubs: Ideal for coloring the viscous base of scrubs, making them visually appealing without staining the skin.

• Body Lotions and Creams: Can be used in water-based lotions to give a delicate pink tone, though sparingly is advised.

Other Applications:

• Lip Gloss and Balms: A tiny amount can be used to add a sheer or deep red tint to lip products, often requiring pre-dispersion in a small amount of oil or glycerin first.

• Slime and Crafting: Excellent for coloring children's slime and other water-based craft projects.

Dosage Recommendations:

• Dosage is highly dependent on the desired color intensity (from pale pink to deep red).

• It is highly recommended to start with a minimal amount, typically 1-3 drops per 100 grams of base, and gradually increase until the desired saturation is achieved. Due to its high concentration, careful dosing is key.

Recipe: Vibrant Pomegranate Sugar Scrub

Create an exfoliating and moisturizing sugar scrub with a rich, attractive red color using the Pomegranate Gel Colorant.

Ingredients:

• 150 g White granulated sugar

• 40 g Coconut oil (Melted)

• 5 g Shea Butter

• 3 g Polysorbate 80 (Emulsifier for easier rinsing)

• 5-8 drops Pomegranate Gel Colorant

• 1 g Preservative (e.g., Phenoxyethanol)

• 3 g Fragrance oil (e.g., Pomegranate or Cherry)

Instructions for preparation:

Melt the Fats: Combine the coconut oil, shea butter, and Polysorbate 80 in a heat-safe bowl. Gently melt them in a double boiler until fully liquid. Remove from heat.

Add Pigment and Fragrance: Once the oils have cooled slightly (but are still liquid), add the Pomegranate Gel Colorant and the fragrance oil. Mix well to ensure the pigment is fully and evenly dispersed, achieving a vibrant, uniform red color.

Incorporate the Sugar: Slowly add the granulated sugar to the colored oil mixture. Stir continuously until all the sugar is coated and the texture is a thick, consistent paste.

Add Preservative: Add the preservative last and mix gently for one minute.

Final Packaging: Transfer the finished scrub into a wide-mouth jar.

Recommendations for use:

• Color Intensity: The amount of Pomegranate Gel Colorant can be adjusted to create anything from a light pink to a deep, dramatic red.

• Emulsification: Using Polysorbate 80 is recommended to help the scrub rinse off cleanly without leaving a heavy, oily residue in the tub.

• Storage: Store the scrub in an airtight container away from direct sunlight. The preservative is essential since the scrub will come into contact with water during use.
