Cosmetic colourants are skin-safe pigments or dyes used to add colour to soaps, skincare, and bath products. They help improve the visual appeal of products such as melt-and-pour soaps, lotions, bath bombs, and body washes. These colourants are specially formulated for cosmetic use and are safe when used within recommended limits.

The Soapy Twist cosmetic colourants collection includes several options such as:

• Liquid Colours – highly concentrated dyes for soaps and liquid formulations
• Mica Powders – mineral-based pigments that add colour and shimmer
• Neon Pigments – bright powders used for vibrant shades
• Lip-Safe Colours – pigments suitable for lip care products

These colourants are commonly used in DIY soaps, creams, lotions, bath salts, and other cosmetic formulations.

Most cosmetic colourants are highly concentrated, so only a small amount is needed. For liquid colourants, add one drop at a time and mix thoroughly until the desired shade is achieved. Powder pigments such as mica or neon pigments can be pre-mixed with glycerin or oils before adding them to your formulation for even colour distribution.
