How to make D&C Red 27 Color Changing Pigment clear in oil

D&C Red 27 Color Changing Pigment is designed to be soluble in various oils. If you are experiencing cloudiness when dissolving it in oil, here are a few potential reasons and solutions:

• Incomplete Dissolution: Ensure the pigment is fully dissolved. You can try gently heating the oil mixture (if the oil type allows) and stirring thoroughly to help the pigment disperse and dissolve completely.
• Presence of Water: Although the pigment can dissolve in water and oil, the description for the color-changing version often recommends anhydrous (water-free) formulas. Even small amounts of moisture in the oil or introduced during mixing could cause cloudiness or affect solubility. Ensure your oil is anhydrous and your equipment is dry.
• Incompatible Oil: While it dissolves in "a variety of oils," some specific oil types might be better than others. If possible, try dissolving a small amount in a different type of cosmetic oil to see if the result is clearer.
• Undissolved Particles: If the cloudiness appears to be solid particles, it might be necessary to filter the oil solution after dissolution to remove any insoluble matter.

By ensuring complete dissolution and checking for moisture or oil compatibility, you should be able to achieve a clearer solution of D&C Red 27 Color Changing Pigment in oil.
