Red liquid pigment 10 ml

Rich Red Tone That Stays Put in Soap, Candles and Resin Pours

Liquid pigments have become a go-to solution for makers who need reliable, non-bleeding color that behaves the same way every time. This red pigment in a 10 ml bottle belongs to the Pigments Liquid category, which brings together colorants specifically formulated to resist migration and hold up under heat. Unlike ordinary water-soluble dyes, pigment particles do not dissolve - they stay suspended and evenly dispersed throughout the mass, which means the color will not bleed across the surface of soap, will not creep into neighboring layers during multilayer pours, and will not fade noticeably over time or under light exposure.

The most common real-world uses for this type of pigment are handmade soap making in both cold and melt-and-pour methods, decorative candle making, plaster and resin crafts, slime, and clear epoxy castings where color stability inside a transparent medium really matters. In soap bases the pigment is typically added once the mixture has cooled to a working temperature of roughly 45-55 degrees Celsius, since adding it too hot can dull the shade or cause uneven dispersion of particles. In candle wax the colorant goes in right at melting temperature, with thorough stirring until fully uniform to prevent streaking on the finished candle surface.

For trial batches and home-based crafting, the 10 ml size is a practical starting point - it lets you test the exact shade, dial in the intensity you want, and see how the pigment behaves in a specific recipe without committing a large volume of raw material. A general dosage guideline runs from 0.5 to 3 grams per 100 grams of base, though the precise amount depends on the depth of color desired - a few drops give a soft pastel wash, while a bolder, saturated red calls for a higher concentration.

This red pigment pairs naturally with other colorants in the same range. For a metallic shimmer effect or added depth, it can be combined with Green Liquid Metallic Pearl 10 ml, producing striking contrast and dimension in layered designs. For a warm copper-red tone with a metallic sheen, blending it with Pigment pigment liquid Copper 10 ml works particularly well and is often chosen for decorative cosmetics and artisan candles. And for a bright, playful fruity soap design, a single drop of Liquid Ultra Multifruit Dye 10 ml can subtly warm up the base red tone.

Store the pigment in a tightly sealed container, in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Under proper storage conditions the product retains its color stability and working properties for an extended period. Give the bottle a gentle shake before use, since some natural settling of particles can occur over long-term storage.

Layered Red Ombre Bath Bomb

Baking soda - 120 g

Citric acid - 60 g

Cornstarch - 40 g

Sweet almond oil - 15 ml

Red liquid pigment - 1 g

Witch hazel spray - as needed

Sift the baking soda, citric acid and cornstarch together in a large bowl, breaking up any clumps. Drizzle in the almond oil and mix thoroughly with your hands until evenly distributed. Split the dry mixture into two portions, adding the red pigment to one portion and mixing until the color is uniform while leaving the second portion uncolored. Lightly mist each portion with witch hazel spray until the mixture holds its shape when pressed, being careful not to trigger the fizzing reaction. Press the colored mixture into the bottom half of a bath bomb mold, then top with the plain mixture, pressing both halves firmly together. Let the molded bombs dry undisturbed for at least twenty-four hours before unmolding.
