Colorants

Wondering where to find colorants? Well let's take the guessing out of it. There are so many companies in the U.S. to get them but you want them to be FDA approved. Especially if you're going to sell your products. I personally LOVE Brambleberry, and doing my own research they are FDA  approved. There's a list on their website that let's you know what's approved,  the company name and the lot number. So if you don't know what you're looking for, here's a small breakdown. I want Brambleberry's red, it's listed as Liquid Cherry, under description it gives ingredients:

Botanical Name:  Glycerin, D&C Red No. 27 Lake (CI 45410)
Common Name:  Glycerin, Red 27 Lake

So you'd look for D&C Red No. 27 on the FDA website. Boom done. Easy peasy.

Always research before purchasing, always list all ingredients so you're not liable to be sued. Hope this helps and happy soaping!
