Product description


Powder colorant for bath bombs is a dry colored blend intended for coloring bath water and visually distinguishing bath bombs in home and artisanal production.
It is a technologically processed powder raw material in which the coloring component is bound to sodium bicarbonate, 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 in the manufacture 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-colored as well as multi-colored 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 has dissolved.
  • More even dispersion in the mixture with proper mixing.
  • Possibility to blend shades and create your own color combinations.
  • Suitable for small and larger production batches.
  • No need to add liquid colorant, which could compromise the stability of the mixture.

Suitable for products such as

  • bath bombs,
  • mini bath 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 mixable 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 ingredients.
  • Since the carrier is sodium bicarbonate, it is advisable to take its amount into account in 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 making bath bombs, such as baking soda, citric acid, starches, clays, salts and other bath bomb additives.
  • When using fragrance components, monitor the total moisture content of the mixture and, for perfuming, follow 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 colored powder
  • Form: dry powder blend
  • Intended use: coloring bath water and the dry fizzer mixture
  • Technological advantage: easier dosing compared to liquid colorants

Safety and storage

  • Avoid inhaling the dust and work in a way that prevents unnecessary dust generation.
  • Use clean and dry tools when handling.
  • Concentrated colorant may temporarily stain tools, molds, 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 stability, appearance, and the intensity of water coloration.

FAQ

Why is powder colorant more suitable for fizzers than regular liquid colorant?

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.


How to achieve a soft pastel shade of the water?

The best way 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 estimating for a large batch.


Is it useful to write down the ratios of colorants during production?

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


Can this colorant be combined with mica or cosmetic glitter?

Yes, this is a common procedure for decorative fizzers. The colorant mainly provides 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 color in the bathtub?

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.


Is it advisable to prepare a colored blend in advance?

Yes, for repeated production it can be practical to prepare a smaller dry colored blend in advance with the ratio written down precisely, so that the same visual result is achieved at the next use.
