A warm yellow tone built for both studio batches and production lines
The 1 kg pack of yellow cosmetic pigment belongs to the Pigments category and is used across a wide range of industries, from decorative and skincare cosmetics to plastics manufacturing, construction materials, coatings, and craft projects. A kilogram format works well for small studios producing limited batches and equally suits manufacturers who need a reliable, repeatable shade across large production runs.

Beyond cosmetics, the same pigment finds heavy demand in plastics, resin casting, rubber compounding, ceramic glazing, and construction blends thanks to its strong opacity and resistance to fading under prolonged light exposure.
Dosage depends on the desired depth of color: a soft pastel tone typically needs around 0.1-0.5% of the total formula weight, while a deep, saturated shade calls for 1-5%. The pigment should be added once the base is fully melted or heated to working temperature but still fluid — commonly an oil phase around 60-80 degrees Celsius, or a melted wax or polymer blend. Pre-dispersing the powder in a small amount of carrier oil before adding it to the main batch helps prevent clumping and ensures an even color throughout.
This yellow pigment blends well with other colorants in the range, allowing formulators to build custom shades. For wax-based projects it is frequently paired with Yellow Wax Dye for Candles to reinforce a warm, even tone, while a small addition of Dark Yellow Wax Dye for Candles creates a deeper, more muted result. For projects requiring a bright glow under UV light, the pigment can be combined with Fluorescent Pigment Lemon Yellow LNT 10, a combination often chosen for decorative and promotional items.
Store the pigment in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and temperature fluctuations to prevent caking and preserve color strength. The powder should always be pre-dispersed before contact with water-based systems, since direct mixing into water can result in uneven distribution.
