Question

What type of black colorant should be used in face and body creams or serums to achieve a black color that is easy to wash off and does not stain the skin?

Answer

For making face and body creams or serums that require a black color without staining or leaving color on the skin, you should choose a special type of black colorant designed to be easily washed off.

Based on product information, the most suitable color for this need is Black Color EasyWash™. This is a special type of water-soluble black colorant that does not stick to the skin (easy to wash off), making it suitable for use in water-based formulations like creams, lotions, gels, or serums.

Some general water-soluble black colorants, such as Black Color Powder (Water-Soluble) and Brilliant Black BN (CI 28440) (Water-Soluble), are not recommended for use in cream, lotion, gel, or serum formulations because they may stain the skin more easily.

As for WaterMix™ Black (Iron Oxides Black), it is a water dispersion of black iron oxides suitable for water-based makeup products like mascara, eyeliner, or lip tint. It may not be the best choice for face and body creams/serums specifically focused on non-staining properties compared to Black Color EasyWash™.

Therefore, if you want a black color in your face or body cream/serum that is easy to wash off and does not stain the skin, it is recommended to choose Black Color EasyWash™.
