Water insoluble. (read further if you want to use in water application)
Aluminum lakes are vibrant looking and do not require blooming, as water soluble dyes do. You must use polysorbate 80 at a rate of 1.5-2% of your total batch weight when using lakes in liquid soap or in bath bombs. This will suspend the color and evenly distribute it properly. If using in bath bombs, the polysorbate 80 will eliminate "floating" color powder and incorporate it into the water.
