Working with Colorants and Pigments

Working with color can be fun, but also challenging. These simple tips will help make your experiment with color more fun than challenging!
1. Before adding color to your project, use propanediol or propylene glycol to make a paste with your colorant or pigment. This will help ensure that the color doesn’t separate from out of your product and sink to the bottom of the container.
2. Use a mortar and pestle to really grind the colorant or pigment into the proanediol or propylene glycol. It may seem that the color dissipates quickly, however, to ensure that the color is fully blended it’s best to use a mortar and pestle to grind until you don’t see any gritty particles.
3. Use titanium dioxide to adjust the shade of your color. A small amount goes a long way so be sure to add small amounts at a time for best results.
4. Always record your results and measurements. Be sure to carefully measure exactly how much color, propanediol or propylene glycol, and titanium dioxide so that you can reproduce your results.

[@EssentialLabsOfficial]

The propylene glycol should keep it safe for a while, but please make sure to test your products always

[@cliff2285]

I can't find the propendiaol on your website can you please provide me with a link?

[@EssentialLabsOfficial]

Hi there! We are out of stock at the moment due to supply chain issues. Could you use Propylene Glycol instead? www.essentialwholesale.com/product/1364/propylene-glycol

[@aishabagigah7892]

Can glycerine also be used in place of the glycol?

[@EssentialLabsOfficial]

Yes, absolutely.

[@gabrielproductions12]

can you use this test on body oils?

[@EssentialLabsOfficial]

You’ll want to mix your pigments into a glycol first before adding to oils.

[@ladysaw999]

Hello. Could i use glycerine? i make all natural cosmetics so i would need something a little more natural.

[@ladysaw999]

essentialwholesale ok thank you I will get it then. But when I'm printing the ingredient label on my products I will have to add that ingredient right? Even tho I'm just using it to dilute the colors.

You should use a dropper

[@c4r0lin36]

🤭😝 You silly. Propanediol is EXACTLY the same as propylene glycol! What matters if it’s industrial grade, pharmaceutical grade, or food grade

[@bellabates2010]

Not exactly the same. Their chemical structures are different. One is derived from corn the other from petrochemicals.
