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

Its warm yellow-orange tone makes it ideal for formulations where a brighter, richer colour is desired. For cosmetic applications, we recommend first dissolving the powder in water to prepare a concentrated liquid colourant. This helps the colour disperse more evenly throughout the formulation and makes it easier to adjust the final shade gradually.

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 resulting liquid colourant can then be incorporated gradually into your formulation until the desired colour intensity is achieved.

Because Sunset Yellow is highly concentrated, only a small amount may be required. Start with a low addition level and gradually increase the amount as needed.

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

Benefits
- Highly concentrated colourant
- Creates warm yellow to yellow-orange shades
- Can be pre-dissolved for easier incorporation
- Allows greater control over final colour intensity
- Suitable for a range of appropriately formulated applications
- Ideal for DIY formulations, product development and small-batch manufacturing

Possible Uses
Depending on your formulation and intended application, Sunset Yellow Colourant may be used to add colour to:

- Soaps
- Body washes
- Bath products
- Cosmetic formulations
- Personal care products
- Suitable food applications

Always confirm that the colourant is suitable and permitted 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 useful starting concentrate is approximately 10 g colourant per 100 ml water. Stir thoroughly until completely 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 shades or want to reduce the likelihood of crystallisation during storage.

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

We recommend:
- Wearing disposable gloves when handling the dry 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 applications refers to its use as a colourant ingredient within an appropriately formulated finished product and at an appropriate concentration.

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