Product description


Powder colourant for fizzy bath bombs is a dry coloured blend intended to colour bath water and visually distinguish fizzy bath bombs in home and artisan production.
It is a technologically processed powder raw material in which the colouring component is bound to sodium hydrogen carbonate, so it is easier to dose, disperses more evenly in the dry mixture and does not burden the formulation with additional moisture.
Such processing is particularly practical when making fizzy bath bombs because it helps maintain the free-flowing nature of the mixture and reduces the risk of premature reaction between bicarbonate of soda and citric acid.
The powder colourant is suitable for creators who want to achieve a pronounced colour effect in water, prepare single-colour and multi-colour fizzies and control the intensity of the final shade more precisely.

Key benefits

  • Dry form suitable for formulations sensitive to moisture.
  • Easy dosing and good incorporation into the dry phase.
  • Intense colouring of the water after the fizzy bomb has dissolved.
  • More even dispersion in the mixture when properly mixed.
  • Possibility of blending shades and creating your own colour combinations.
  • Suitable for small and larger production batches.
  • No need to add a liquid colourant, which could disrupt the stability of the mixture.

Suitable for products such as

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

Use in formulation

  • The colourant is miscible with the dry phase of the formulation.
  • The best results are achieved when it is first thoroughly mixed with part of the bicarbonate of soda and only then combined with the rest of the raw materials.
  • Since the carrier is sodium hydrogen carbonate, it is appropriate to take its amount into account within the total share of bicarbonate in the recipe.
  • Dose gradually, according to the desired intensity of water colouring and the size of the production batch.
  • For multi-colour fizzies, prepare the individual coloured parts separately so that the layers or patterns are visually cleaner.
  • Compatible with common dry raw materials for making fizzy bath bombs, such as bicarbonate of soda, citric acid, starches, clays, salts and other ingredients for fizzies.
  • 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 water may differ from the appearance of the dry powder.

Physical properties

  • Appearance: fine to free-flowing coloured powder
  • Form: dry powder blend
  • Character of use: colouring bath water and the dry fizzy mixture
  • Technological advantage: easier dosing compared to liquid colourants

Safety and storage

  • Avoid inhaling dust and work in a way that prevents unnecessary dust formation.
  • Use clean and dry tools during 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 the powder colourant more suitable for fizzies than a regular liquid colourant?

For fizzy 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.


How to achieve a soft pastel shade of the water?

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 guessing when working with a large batch.


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

Yes, in repeated production it is very useful to record the exact amounts of the individual shades 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 fizzies. The colourant is mainly responsible for the tone of the water and the mica or glitter supports the appearance of the finished product.


Why can the dry powder look more saturated than the final colour in the bath?

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


Is it suitable to prepare a colour blend in advance?

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