Product description


Powder colourant for fizzing bath bombs is a dry coloured blend intended to colour bath water and visually differentiate fizzing bath bombs in both home and artisanal production.
It is a technologically processed powder raw material in which the colouring component is bound to sodium hydrogen carbonate, which makes it easier to dose, disperses more evenly in the dry blend and does not burden the formulation with additional moisture.
Such processing is particularly practical in the manufacture of fizzing bath bombs because it helps maintain the free-flowing character of the blend and reduces the risk of premature reaction between baking soda and citric acid.
The powder colourant is suitable for makers who want to achieve a vivid colour effect in water, prepare single-colour as well as multi-colour fizzing bombs, and control the intensity of the final shade more precisely.

Key benefits

  • Dry form suitable for moisture-sensitive formulations.
  • Easy dosing and good incorporation into the dry phase.
  • Intense colouring of the water after the fizzing bomb dissolves.
  • More even dispersion in the blend when properly mixed.
  • Possibility to blend shades and create custom colour combinations.
  • Suitable for both small and larger production batches.
  • No need to add liquid colourant, which could disrupt the stability of the blend.

Suitable for products such as

  • fizzing bath bombs,
  • mini fizzers and bath tablets,
  • layered fizzing bath bombs,
  • fizzers with a coloured core,
  • decorative bath blends intended to be dissolved in water.

Use in a formulation

  • The colourant is miscible with the dry phase of the formulation.
  • The best results are achieved when it is first thoroughly mixed with a portion of the baking soda and only then combined with the remaining raw materials.
  • Since the carrier is sodium hydrogen carbonate, it is advisable to take its amount into account within the total share of baking soda in the formula.
  • Dose gradually, according to the desired intensity of water colouring and the size of the production batch.
  • For multi-colour fizzers, prepare the individual coloured parts separately so that the layers or patterns are visually cleaner.
  • Compatible with common dry raw materials used for manufacturing fizzing bath bombs, such as baking soda, citric acid, starches, clays, salts and other bath bomb additives.
  • When using fragrance components, monitor the overall moisture of the blend and, for perfuming, observe the recommended limits according to IFRA.
  • Before producing a larger batch, it is recommended to prepare a test sample, since the final shade in water may differ from the appearance of the dry powder.

Physical properties

  • Appearance: fine to free-flowing coloured powder
  • Form: dry powder blend
  • Use character: colouring of bath water and of the dry fizzing blend
  • Technological advantage: easier dosing compared with liquid colourants

Safety and storage

  • Avoid inhaling dust and work in a way that prevents unnecessary dust formation.
  • Use clean and dry tools when handling.
  • Concentrated colourant may temporarily stain tools, moulds or surfaces.
  • Store in a well-closed container, in a dry place and away from direct sunlight.
  • Protect from ambient humidity and contact with water.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Before placing the final product on the market or using it, always test the stability, appearance and intensity of water colouring.

FAQ

Why is powder colourant more suitable for fizzers than standard liquid colourant?

For fizzing bath bombs it is important to keep the blend as dry as possible. The powder form therefore simplifies manufacturing and helps reduce the risk that the blend will start reacting before pressing.


How can a soft pastel shade of the water be achieved?

It is best to start with a very small amount of colourant and gradually increase the intensity. A pastel result is achieved more accurately by step-by-step testing than by estimating when working with a large batch.


Is it worthwhile to record the ratios of colourants during production?

Yes, in repeated production it is very useful to write down the exact amounts of each shade so that the achieved result can be reliably reproduced in subsequent batches.


Can this colourant be combined with mica or cosmetic glitter?

Yes, this is a common procedure for decorative fizzers. The colourant is mainly responsible for the tone of the water, and mica or glitter enhance the appearance of the finished product.


Why can the dry powder look more saturated than the resulting colour in the bathtub?

The dry powder is concentrated, whereas in water the colour is dispersed in a large volume. Therefore, the resulting shade is usually softer than the appearance of the powder itself suggests.


Is it advisable to prepare a coloured blend in advance to keep in stock?

Yes, in repeated production it can be practical to prepare a smaller dry coloured blend in advance with the ratio recorded precisely, so that the same visual result is achieved during the next use.
