Blue Oil Soluble Liquid Colorant 1 L

Bulk Blue Oil Soluble Colorant Built for Continuous Production Lines

This liquid blue colorant, soluble in fats and oils, comes in a 1 liter container designed for manufacturers that need a steady supply of raw material without frequent reordering. It belongs to the same family found in the Oil soluble liquid dyes section, which brings together similar liquid pigments for coloring oil and wax-based systems. Around the world, this type of colorant is most heavily used in candle manufacturing, where it disperses evenly through melted paraffin or soy wax, as well as in confectionery and fat-processing industries for tinting chocolate coatings, cream fillings, and other fat-based products. It is also widely applied in color cosmetics, particularly in tinted lip balms and oil-based textured products, where deep, even color is needed without altering the product's texture. More liquid oil soluble dyes appear in the Oil Soluble Liquid Dyes Wholesale section.

The blue oil soluble colorant blends readily with vegetable and mineral oils, waxes, paraffin, stearin, and fat bases of different origins. It does not dissolve in water, so it is not suitable for aqueous phases or gel systems - water soluble alternatives should be chosen for those formulations instead. The colorant should be added once the base has already melted and reached a liquid state, typically around 60-80 degrees for wax and paraffin blends, or during the tempering stage for fat-based confectionery masses. Dosage depends on the depth of shade required, usually ranging from 0.5 to 3 grams per kilogram of base, after which the mixture should be stirred thoroughly until uniform before pouring into molds or packaging.

When working with a large batch, the blue pigment can be combined with other oil soluble shades to create intermediate tones and gradients - for instance, with Yellow Oil Soluble Liquid Colorant 10 ml to build green tones through blending, or with Green Oil Soluble Liquid Colorant 10 ml for deeper blue-green shades. For contrasting multicolor products, it also helps to keep Raspberry Oil Soluble Liquid Colorant 10 ml on hand, since it creates a vivid contrast against blue in layered candles and cosmetic products. Pairing small vials with this liter-sized main color is a practical way to test a palette before scaling up to a full production run.

Store the colorant in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight and heat, at room temperature, to keep the shade stable throughout its shelf life. The liter format suits workshops running batches of several dozen kilograms of finished product, as well as labs testing formulations before moving to larger scale manufacturing.

Ombre Blue Soy Candles

Soy wax 1000 g

Paraffin wax 200 g

Blue oil soluble colorant 3 g

Candle fragrance oil 30 ml

Wooden wicks 5 pieces

Melt the soy wax and paraffin together in a double boiler until fully liquid, remove from heat and let cool to about 70 degrees, then stir in the colorant until the shade is even throughout. Split the melted wax into two portions, adding a bit more colorant to one for a darker layer and less to the other for a lighter layer. Mix the fragrance oil into both portions, pour the darker layer first into molds fitted with wicks, let it partially set, then pour the lighter layer on top to create a smooth graded color transition.
