Description

Lakes are organic pigments made by absorbing a dye onto a substrate such as Alumina hydrate or Barium sulphate. They are dispersible (but not soluble) in both water and oil. Lakes will give a matte colour but are much more vibrant than oxides.

Lake definitions

D&C

The term D&C means that a lake is approved by the FDA for use in drugs and cosmetics. 

Number

The number, e.g. Red #40, refers to which dye has been used to make the lake.

Substrate

Lakes will have a mineral in their name, e.g. Barium, this is the substrate onto which the dye has been absorbed

Dye Percentage

Each substrate can absorb a varying amount of each dye. The dye percentage simply tells us how much pure colour is in the lake.

Water colour paint

All of pure Nature's pigments and micas can be used to make water colour paints. They are all fine and blend smoothly. This is a gorgeous red!
