Blue Color Powder (fat-soluble) 10 g

How a Blue Oil-Soluble Pigment Transforms Wax and Fat-Based Formulas

This fat-soluble blue powder pigment is formulated to deliver deep, stable color in oil, wax and fat-based formulations. The 10 gram packaging makes it a practical choice for home-based crafting, small test batches and formulation trials before scaling up to larger production runs. The product belongs to the Oil Based Food Coloring Powder category, which brings together pigments that resist dissolving in water but disperse smoothly in oils, fats and wax blends.

The largest real-world demand for this type of pigment comes from candle making, decorative cosmetics, soap production and oil-based household chemical goods. In candle manufacturing it is stirred into melted paraffin or soy wax at roughly 70-80 degrees Celsius until the particles are fully and evenly dispersed. In cosmetic formulation the pigment colors balms, oil-based creams, lipsticks, body butters and solid oil bars. Typical dosage ranges from 0.1 to 1 gram per 100 grams of base, though the exact amount depends on the depth of color required and the density of the final product.

The pigment blends well with vegetable and synthetic oils, waxes, silicones and other oil-soluble ingredients. It does not mix directly into a water phase, so in emulsion systems it should first be dispersed into the oil phase before combining with water-based components. When formulators want to create violet, teal or blue-green shades, this blue pigment is often paired with other colors, such as Violet Color Powder (fat-soluble) 10 g for deep cool tones, or contrasted with warmer shades like Red Color Powder (fat-soluble) 10 g for striking decorative effects in layered candles or handmade soap bars.

The pigment should be added once the base is fully melted but has not yet begun to thicken, which allows for even distribution without streaks or specks. Thorough mixing for at least one to two minutes is recommended, especially with thicker fat-based formulas. To achieve pastel tones or, alternatively, more saturated colors, it is best to test the pigment on a small sample of the base first.

Store the pigment in a dry place away from direct sunlight, at room temperature, in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture and contamination from entering. Under proper storage conditions the color remains stable for an extended period.

Manufacturers working with a broad color palette often combine this blue pigment with Orange Color Powder (fat-soluble) 10 g to create multicolor decorative products, ombre candles or cosmetic items with unusual color transitions.

Melt the beeswax and shea butter together in a double boiler at around 65 degrees Celsius until fully liquid. Remove from heat and stir in the almond oil, allowing the mixture to cool slightly to about 50 degrees. Sprinkle in the blue pigment and mix thoroughly until the color is even and no specks remain visible. Add the fragrance oil and stir gently for another minute. Pour the finished blend into small tins or molds and let it set at room temperature for about two hours until fully solid.
