Violet, food colouring

Practical tips for use and storage

• Start with a small amount: liquid dyes are concentrated. Add the dye gradually and mix thoroughly before adding more.
• Test the shade first: make a small test batch before coloring the entire product. The final shade may vary depending on the base, its natural color and the amount of dye used.
• For an even color: add the dye gradually and mix thoroughly until it is evenly dispersed throughout the base.
• Adjust the intensity: use less dye for delicate tones and gradually increase the amount for a deeper, more intense shade.
• Consider color migration: bleeding dyes may gradually spread into adjacent layers. This makes them suitable for gradients, ombré effects and soft color transitions. For sharp, clearly separated colors, use a non-bleeding dye.
• Protect surfaces and clothing: concentrated dye may stain work surfaces, tools, textiles and skin. Clean spills promptly.
• Keep tools clean: use clean, dry tools to help prevent contamination.
• Storage: keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight and heat.
• Before use: if the dye has been stored for a longer period, gently mix or shake it if necessary to restore an even consistency.
• Keep out of reach of children.
