Oil based Powder dyes CP & HP:

These D&C dyes are the same as the dyes that we have already mixed with oil but they come to you in powder form. Each oil dye comes packaged in a 1/2 oz bottle, you can mix them your self in oil or you can use the enclosed .15 cc spoon and mix it in with your oil as its melting. You can also mix the powder with any oil in a smaller container and use this to make a swirl. If you decide to use the powder just for a swirl you will need much less then .15 cc. Below is pictures of the dyes that were used at the rate of .15cc per 66 ounces of oils and water. The amount of dye will depend on the depth of color you desire, these dyes will NOT stain your wash clothes but they will stain your clothing and counters so be prepared and use paper towels and wear old clothes.

Below is pictures of the actual amount of dye used in a base of 48 ounces of oils and 18 ounce of water, the end result is a rose colored with the red (hollyberry) and an orange melon colored with the orange (cantaloupe). I will be retesting the yellow shortly and will post the pictures. If you want a deeper color use a bit more, the true color will come out after the gel stage. Using the above rate you will be able to color at least 50-100 pounds per bottle of course if you prefer the color deeper then the amount will change. Not for bath salts or fizzies colorants they will leave a ring around your tub, for fizzies and salts only use water based dyes. All dyes may be mixed to change the colors they mix well if your searching for a specific color.

Label all soaps with the following labels, D&C Red #17, D&C Yellow #11, D&C Orange #4.
