Adjusting Cream Color to White or Light Pink
Question
I have a yellow cream and want to change its color to white or light pink. How can I do this using cosmetic pigments? I don't have special mixing equipment, so I need a method that works with simple mixing.
Answer
Adjusting Cream Color
To change the color of your yellow cream to white or light pink, you can use cosmetic pigments. Based on your need and the staff's recommendation, here's how you can adjust the color:
To get a white color: You can use White Oxides EasyMix™. This is a white pigment powder that is treated for easy dispersion, making it suitable for mixing into creams even without special equipment. Start by adding a very small amount and mix thoroughly until you achieve the desired white shade.
To get a light pink color: You can use a pink pigment like Ultramarine Pink or Fluorescent Pink Pigment. To get a light pink shade, you might need to mix the pink pigment with White Oxides EasyMix™. Add a tiny amount of the pink pigment first, mix, and then gradually add White Oxides EasyMix™ to lighten the color until you reach the desired light pink. Mix very well to ensure the color is evenly distributed.
Important Considerations:
- Mixing: Ensure you mix the pigment into the cream very thoroughly to avoid streaks or uneven color. The EasyMix™ type pigments are designed to disperse more easily with simple stirring.
- Starting Amount: Always start with a very small amount of pigment, as a little goes a long way. You can always add more if needed.
- Compatibility: The pigments mentioned are generally compatible with cream formulations.
These pigments are available for purchase and can help you achieve the desired color for your cream.
