Re: powder pigment

[Guest guest]

I don't exactly understand your questions.. But you have FD & C (Food Drug &

Cosmetic), D & C (Drug & Cosmetic) and natural pigment..as in stuff that is

mined and ground up.. iron oxides in natural states..or pigments made in

the lab by heating ferrous oxides and that have a controlled amount of

impurities in them(same thing as natural iron oxides, but without the lead,

mercury and other baddies).

Whatever you decide, I would use something that is cosmetic grade. I

recommend the pigments if you are doing cold process soaps, as they do not

fade or morph. In fact I do use them <chuckle>. I'm a color manic when it

comes to my soaps. There are pictures of them on my webpage. Check them

out.

HTH.. and let me know if you need more info
