1. Incorporation : place a small drop of gel on your base. Knead or mix vigorously until you get a uniform color.
2. Controlled dosing: the maximum recommended dose is 8 g per kg of finished preparation. Start with less; it is easier to intensify than to dilute.
3. Storage: clean the nozzle well after use, close the tube, and store at room temperature, away from direct light to prevent the lilac from turning gray.

Ingredients: humectant glycerol (E422), water, modified starch (tapioca), colorants E122 and E133.

Allergens: may contain traces of egg, soy, milk, and nuts. Avoid if you have a confirmed allergy to these ingredients.

Lilac is a color very sensitive to the base used. For a pastel finish close to a lavender shade, first color a small amount of white sugar paste, then incorporate this colored paste into a larger white mass. This stepwise dilution technique produces a much more uniform color and prevents accidental overdosing that turns the shade into an overly saturated mauve.

Purple and lilac pigments (E122 and E133) are among the most sensitive to UV rays. Direct exposure behind a sunny display window can fade the color within a few hours. To preserve the intensity of your shade, store your finished creations in an opaque cake box until presentation, and avoid prolonged storage in direct light.

Since ProGel is water-soluble (water-based), it is not recommended for coloring large quantities of pure chocolate as it may cause the mass to seize due to water-fat incompatibility. For chocolate, prefer fat-soluble colorants like the Colour Mill range. However, for small details or a cream-rich ganache (where the cream's water balances the formula), ProGel Lilac can be used with caution in very small doses.
