Bath salts coloring

Hello,
Will food coloring placed in bath salts stain / color your skin?

Thank you.

Hi,

No, you DON'T want to use food colors when preparing any of the skin recipes. What you do have to look for is a cosmetic grade colorant (referred to as oxides). You might be able to find them at a better natural skin care shop or find them online (just type in "cosmetic grade colorant" or "oxides" and order them online).

For more detail on this, here's an informative site (it opens as a Word document): All About Cosmetic Grade Colorants.

I hope this helps,

Biljana, Admin
