Black Iron Oxide (liquid)


Black Oxide liquid colourant is a pigment that has been suspended in vegetable glycerine. This product produces a true black in clear Melt and Pour soap base and is a cosmetic grade colourant that is stable and non-bleeding in soap.


Add colour to your base drop-by-drop. Adding more drops will produce a darker colour. If your soap bubbles are not white you have used too much colour. Adding this colour to white melt and pour soap base will produce a pastel grey coloured bar of soap.

INCI: Glycerine, Iron Oxide CI 77499


Usage rate: 15ml will colour approximately 5kg of soap for a medium shade. Recommended usage rate is roughly 6 drops per 100g.


Product Suitability:
Melt and Pour Soap: Yes
CP soap: Yes
Lip Products: No
Cosmetics: Yes
Not suitable for oil based products such as lotions and creams.
Not Suitable for Bath Bombs, Bubble Bars and Bath Salts as it can cause staining.


Performance results:

Colour: Produces a true black in clear melt and pour soap base but only grey colour in opaque (white) melt & pour soap base. Produces a coal grey in CP soap at full strength (you need to use more than usual) and a grey colour in lower concentrations. For a true black in CP soap use activated charcoal.
Solubility: dispersible in water so suitable for water based products such as soap. Not suitable for oil based products such as lotions and creams.
Product pH: Stable in products with a high pH so it will not change / morph in cp soap.
Colour Fading: This colour is not sensitive to light so will not fade in your soap.
Colour Migration: This colourant is non-bleeding so is suitable for making soap with layered colours or embeds as it will not migrate or “bleed” between the layers.
