Applications and Usage Areas

The "Grapes" Gel Dye is a popular choice for adding depth and elegance across multiple product lines, appealing to a global market interested in visually striking cosmetics.

Soap Making:

• Melt-and-Pour Soap: Ideal for creating vibrant, clear soaps. It dissolves quickly into the melted base, allowing for easy layering and intricate designs.

• Cold Process Soap: While testing is always recommended for cold process soap due to high pH, this gel dye is generally stable and can produce deep purple hues, perfect for botanical or masculine lines.

Personal Care Cosmetics:

• Shower Gels and Bath Bombs: Imparts a luxurious purple color to bath products. In bath bombs, it provides a stunning color release into the water.

• Body Scrubs and Salts: Used to color the oil or liquid phase of sugar or salt scrubs, making them visually appealing and ready for retail.

• Shampoos and Conditioners: Adds a beautiful purple tint, often used in color-correcting shampoos designed for blonde or silver hair (use a very small amount to counteract brassiness).

Other Creative Applications:

• Slime Making: Used to color DIY slime and sensory bases, achieving deep, jewel-toned purples.

Recommended Dosage:

• Dosage is highly dependent on the desired color intensity, ranging from a pale lavender to a deep indigo.

• It is recommended to start with 1-2 drops per 100 grams of base and gradually add more until the desired shade is achieved.

Recipe: Moisturizing Shower Gel with "Grapes" Color

Create a rich, cleansing shower gel with an attractive deep purple hue, perfect for daily use.

Ingredients:

• 70 g Surfactant (e.g., Cocamidopropyl Betaine)

• 20 g Distilled water

• 5 g Vegetable Glycerin

• 3 g Sea Salt (as a thickener)

• 1 g "Grapes" Gel Dye

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

Instructions for Preparation:

Mix the Base: In a clean container, gently combine the primary surfactant, distilled water, and glycerin. Stir slowly to minimize foaming.

Thicken the Gel: Gradually add the sea salt while continuously stirring. The salt will act as an electrolyte thickener, slowly bringing the gel to the desired viscosity.

Add Color and Preservative: Once the desired consistency is achieved, add the "Grapes" Gel Dye and the preservative. Mix thoroughly until the deep purple color is uniformly distributed throughout the gel.

Final Pour: Transfer the finished shower gel into a sterile bottle.

Recommendations:

• Color Intensity: The 1% dosage of the dye in this recipe will yield a medium-to-dark purple. Adjust the number of drops to achieve a lighter or deeper shade.

• Foam Quality: The inclusion of glycerin helps to maintain skin moisture and improves the quality of the lather.

• Stability: A preservative is crucial in water-based formulas to ensure product safety and shelf life.

• Customization: You can enhance the formula by adding a complementary fragrance oil, such as a grape or plum scent, at the same step as the dye.
