Instructions for Using Red #40 DYE:
To effectively use dyes in bath bombs, they must first be dissolved in water or glycerin. Follow these steps for optimal results:
- Add a small amount of water to a container, like a condiment cup.
- Use a small spoon, such as a 0.15cc mica spoon, to transfer a minimal amount of dye into the water. This quantity should be just enough to dissolve the dye.
- Avoid adding the dye directly to the bath bomb mix in its dry form, as this can lead to uneven coloring and weak shades.
- Conduct trial runs with various amounts of the dissolved dye to determine the perfect quantity for achieving your desired color intensity. Remember, using more dye will create a deeper shade, while less will result in a lighter, pastel tone.
Note: It’s recommended to keep notes during these tests for future reference and consistency in your recipes.
