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 #6, 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

Vibrant and doesn't change color when making soap

Stains

1. Can ONLY be used with clear base (it turns gross skin-coloured when added to white soap base).

2. The powder and the soap made from it stains so much, unfortunately.

Fun fact: I accidentally got some red powder on one of my white walls, and it didn't even come off even with nail polish remover.
