Black is primarily used for contrast: outlines, graphic designs, marbled or galaxy effects, and Halloween themes. It's 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 crisp outlines or a sprayed background. This coloring is not designed for aqueous preparations.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What's the difference between oil-based and water-soluble coloring?
Oil-based coloring disperses in fats, such as cocoa butter. Water-soluble coloring dissolves in water. For any fatty preparation, an oil-based coloring like this one is essential.
Does the black coloring stain preparations or equipment?
Vegetable charcoal is highly pigmented: use a small amount and clean your tools promptly to avoid marks on light-colored surfaces.
Does it contain allergens?
It contains E153 (vegetable charcoal), which is plant-based, with no regulatory warning regarding children's attention. May contain traces of milk and nuts.
