Skincare & Food Colourant (Yellow Lemon) is a highly concentrated yellow powder colourant designed for use as an ingredient in suitable cosmetic, personal care and food formulations.

For cosmetic applications, we recommend first dissolving the powder in water to prepare a concentrated liquid colourant. This allows for more even incorporation into your formulation and makes it easier to gradually build the desired shade.

A practical concentrated solution can be prepared using approximately:

- 10 g colourant + 100 ml water
- 20 g colourant + 200 ml water
- 50 g colourant + 500 ml water

Add the powder to the water and stir thoroughly until completely dissolved. The prepared liquid colourant can then be added gradually to your formulation until the desired yellow intensity is achieved.

Because the powder is highly concentrated, only a small amount may be required. We recommend starting with a low addition level and slowly increasing the amount until you reach the shade you are looking for.

If crystals or solid material form in the prepared colour solution during storage, simply stir the mixture again until dissolved. Preparing a more dilute solution, such as approximately 7%, may also help reduce crystallisation.

Benefits
- Highly concentrated yellow colourant
- Creates bright, vibrant yellow shades
- Can be pre-dissolved for easier incorporation
- Allows greater control over final colour intensity
- Suitable for a variety of appropriately formulated applications
- Ideal for DIY formulators, product developers and small-batch manufacturing

Possible Uses
Depending on your formulation and intended application, Yellow Lemon Colourant may be used to add colour to products such as:
- Soaps
- Body washes
- Bath products
- Cosmetic formulations
- Personal care products
- Suitable food applications
Always confirm that the colourant is appropriate for your specific finished product and intended market.

Recommended Preparation for Cosmetic Formulations
For easier incorporation, dissolve the powder in water before adding it to your finished formulation.

A good starting point is approximately 10 g colourant per 100 ml water. Stir thoroughly until fully dissolved.
Add the prepared liquid colourant gradually to your formulation until the desired shade is achieved.

For a More Dilute Solution
A solution of approximately 7% may be prepared if you prefer greater control over lighter yellow shades or wish to reduce the likelihood of crystallisation during storage.

Handling
Yellow Lemon Colourant is highly concentrated and may stain skin, clothing and porous surfaces.

We recommend:
- Wearing disposable gloves when handling the powder or concentrate
- Protecting work surfaces from spills
- Avoiding contact with clothing and porous materials
- Cleaning spills promptly

If staining occurs on the skin, wash gently with soap and water and allow any remaining colour to fade naturally. Do not use bleach, solvents, abrasive products or harsh chemicals on the skin.

Important Information
The concentrated powder is not intended for direct application to the skin.

Its suitability for personal care use refers to its incorporation as a colourant ingredient within an appropriately formulated finished product and at a suitable concentration.

Colourant regulations may vary according to product type and market, so formulators should confirm suitability for their intended application before use.
