• Vibrant Hue: Creates a rich, appealing strawberry red or pink color perfect for fruit-themed and fun formulations.

Applications and Usage Areas

The Strawberry Gel Colorant is a vital component for enhancing the aesthetic quality of your finished goods, available for delivery worldwide.

Soap Making:

• Melt-and-Pour Soap: Easily incorporated into melted soap base to create vibrant, uniform red bars. It's excellent for crafting multi-layered soaps where crisp color separation is desired.

• Cold Process Soap: While testing is always recommended for CP soap, this gel colorant is known for its stability and ability to retain a rich red hue throughout the saponification process.

Cosmetics and Bath Products:

• Body Washes and Shower Gels: Provides a beautiful, appetizing red tint to liquid cleansers.

• Bath Bombs and Fizzies: Ensures the finished product has a vibrant internal color and creates a fun, colorful bath experience without staining the tub.

• Sugar and Salt Scrubs: Ideal for coloring the oil or aqueous phase of scrubs, making them visually appealing and ready for retail.

• Lip Glosses and Balms: Can be used in small amounts to tint lip care products, giving them a subtle, natural-looking red hue.

Other Applications:

• Slime and Dough: Popular for coloring craft materials like slime, putty, and playdough, appealing to children's markets.

Recommended Dosage:

• General Guidance: Dosage is highly dependent on the desired color intensity, ranging from soft pinks to deep reds.

• Start Small: Begin with 1-3 drops per 100g of product base and gradually add more until the required shade is achieved. High concentrations are rarely necessary due to the pigment's intensity.

Recipe: Strawberry-Scented Whipped Sugar Scrub

Create a luxurious, moisturizing body scrub with a vibrant red color, perfect for packaging and sale.

Ingredients:

• 150 g Foaming Bath Butter Base (melted)

• 250 g Fine White Sugar (Granular Phase)

• 20 g Shea Butter (Oil Phase)

• 3 g Strawberry Fragrance Oil

• 5-8 drops Strawberry Gel Colorant

• 0.5 g Preservative (e.g., Optiphen)

Instructions for Preparation:

Melt the Base: Gently melt the foaming bath butter base in a double boiler until it becomes soft and pliable, but not fully liquid.

Combine Oils: Melt the Shea Butter separately. Remove the bath butter base from the heat and thoroughly mix in the melted Shea Butter until fully combined.

Cool and Whip: Allow the mixture to cool slightly (it should still be very soft, around room temperature). Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to whip the mixture for several minutes until it becomes light, fluffy, and visibly increased in volume.

Incorporate Color and Scent: Stop the mixer. Add the Strawberry Gel Colorant drop by drop, along with the Strawberry Fragrance Oil and the preservative.

Final Whip: Whip the mixture again until the color is uniformly distributed and the scrub has a light, consistent texture.

Packaging: Spoon the finished, whipped scrub into clean jars. The vibrant color will be highly attractive on the shelf.

Recommendations:

• Color Intensity: Always add the colorant slowly (drop by drop) during the whipping stage, as the color can intensify rapidly.

• Whipping Time: Whipp the scrub for at least 5-7 minutes to achieve the ideal airy, fluffy texture.

• Preservation: The preservative is crucial as the scrub may come into contact with water during use.
