Black is primarily used for contrast: outlines, graphic designs, marbled or galaxy effects, and Halloween themes. It is also the ideal base for darkening other shades.
Black intensifies quickly: disperse a small amount in melted cocoa butter at around 35 to 40 degrees C for sharp outlines or a sprayed background. This colorant is not designed for water-based preparations.
Please note: Disperse only in a melted fat (cocoa butter at around 35 to 40 degrees C). This oil-soluble colorant is not suitable for water-based preparations. Store in a dry place away from light and air, between 20 and 25 degrees C. Do not consume as is; for use exclusively in preparations and keep out of reach of young children.
