Applications and Usage Areas

The Gel Colorant "Strawberry" is an essential tool for adding visual excitement and a distinctive red tint to a wide array of products, shipped globally to creators and manufacturers.

Soap Making:

• Melt-and-Pour Soap: Ideal for creating bright, translucent or opaque handmade soap bars. The gel is easily incorporated into the melted base, allowing for swirling techniques or solid colors.

• Cold Process Soap: While testing is always recommended for CP soap, this pigment is known for maintaining its vibrant color through the saponification process, resulting in stunning red and pink soaps.

Bath and Body Cosmetics:

• Shower Gels and Foams: Adds a delightful, rich red color to liquid shower gels, bubble baths, and body washes.

• Bath Bombs and Fizzes: Provides a vivid color to the bath water without staining the tub.

• Scrubs and Salt Soaks: Excellent for coloring sugar and salt scrubs, giving them a rich, vibrant appearance that enhances their aesthetic appeal.

• Body Lotions and Gels: Can be used sparingly to tint moisturizing gels or lightweight lotions, especially those with fruity or floral fragrances.

Other Creative Applications:

• Slime Production: Popular for adding vivid color to homemade or commercial slime products.

• Candles (Water-Based): Suitable for coloring gel candles that contain a water component.

Dosage Recommendations:

• Customizable Color: Dosage depends entirely on the desired shade intensity, from a pale pink tint to a deep, rich red.

• Starting Point: It is highly recommended to start with 1-2 drops per 100 grams of base and gradually add more until the desired intensity is achieved. Over-coloring may affect the finished product.

Recipe: Bright Strawberry Shower Gel

Create a beautifully scented and colored shower gel that offers a refreshing cleansing experience.

Ingredients:

• 60 g Surfactant Base (e.g., Cocoamidopropyl Betaine)

• 30 g Distilled Water

• 5 g Glycerin (Humectant)

• 3 g Sea Salt (Thickener)

• 1 g "Strawberry" Fragrance Oil

• 3-5 drops Gel Colorant "Strawberry"

• 1 g Preservative (e.g., Cosgard)

Instructions for preparation:

Mixing the Base: In a clean, sanitized beaker, combine the surfactant base, distilled water, and glycerin. Stir gently to avoid creating excessive foam.

Adding the Thickener: Slowly add the sea salt while continuously stirring. The salt will act as a thickener, helping the gel reach the desired viscosity.

Introducing Color and Scent: Once the desired gel consistency is achieved, add the "Strawberry" Fragrance Oil, the Gel Colorant "Strawberry", and the preservative. Gently stir again until all components are evenly distributed and the color is uniform.

Pouring: Carefully pour the finished shower gel into a sanitized bottle.

Recommendations for use:

• Color Intensity: Use the Gel Colorant sparingly. For a light, translucent pink, use fewer drops. For a rich, vibrant red, increase the drops gradually.

• Preservation: Since this product contains a water phase, the use of a preservative is mandatory to prevent microbial growth and ensure product safety.

• Scent Pairing: This red colorant pairs perfectly with fruity fragrances like Strawberry, Raspberry, or Mixed Berry to enhance the sensory experience.
