Staining Color in Lotion
Good day. Currently, I’m developing a cream and lotion with colorant. My problem was when applied to skin since it has a color, it stains on the skin.
Prepared colorant:
1g of yellow colorant dissolve in 99g of water.Can you suggest ways to eliminate color stains when applied to skin?
TIA.

Thank you Sir Perry. I’m still on the process of trial and error. My boss the lemon yellow color for the products.

Honestly it sounds like you’re using FD&c bath bombs colorant. Firstly this works in extremely low concentrations, a 1/5 teaspoon will color several ounces of dry product. You may want to try 0.1g/100g and work from there.
The second is it’s not designed for lotions and is prone to staining bathtubs unless it’s paired with poly 80, so likely isn’t going to be a good substitution in lotions.

Thank you for the feedback, mate. Any recommendations regarding the type of colorant? Sorry for late response, I’ve been on a business trip.
Your recommended concentration is noted. Many Thanks!
