Product description
It is a technologically processed powder raw material in which the coloring component is bound to sodium hydrogen carbonate, so it is 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 production of bath bombs because it helps maintain the free-flowing character of the mixture and reduces the risk of premature reaction between baking soda and citric acid.
The powder colorant is suitable for makers who want to achieve a pronounced color effect in the water, prepare single-color and multi-color bath 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 coloring of the water after the bath bomb dissolves.
- More even dispersion in the mixture with proper mixing.
- Possibility of blending shades and creating custom color combinations.
- Suitable for small and larger production batches.
- No need to add a liquid colorant, which could disturb the stability of the mixture.
Suitable for products such as
- bath fizzing bombs,
- mini fizzers and bath tablets,
- layered bath bombs,
- fizzers with a colored core,
- decorative bath blends intended to be dissolved in water.
Use in formulation
- The colorant is miscible with the dry phase of the formula.
- 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 recipe.
- Dose gradually, according to the desired intensity of water coloration and the size of the production batch.
- For multi-colored fizzers, prepare the individual colored parts separately so that the layers or patterns are visually cleaner.
- Compatible with common dry raw materials used for bath bomb manufacturing, such as baking soda, citric acid, starches, clays, salts and other bath bomb additives.
- When using fragrance components, monitor the overall moisture of the mixture and, for perfuming, respect the recommended limits according to IFRA.
- Before producing a larger batch, it is recommended to prepare a test sample because the final shade in the water may differ from the appearance of the dry powder.

FAQ
For bath bombs it is important to keep the mixture as dry as possible. The powder form therefore simplifies production and helps reduce the risk that the mixture will start reacting before pressing.
The best approach is to start with a very small amount of colorant and gradually increase the intensity. A pastel result is achieved more accurately by step-by-step testing than by estimation in a large batch.
Yes, for repeated production it is very useful to record the exact amounts of individual shades so that the achieved result can be reliably reproduced in subsequent batches.
Yes, this is a common practice for decorative fizzers. The colorant mainly takes care of the tone of the water and mica or glitter support the appearance of the finished product.
The dry powder is concentrated, whereas in water the color is dispersed in a large volume. Therefore, the final shade is usually softer than the appearance of the powder itself suggests.
Yes, for repeated production it can be practical to prepare in advance a smaller dry colored blend with the ratio recorded precisely, so that the same visual result is achieved during the next use.
