The Azlok 5 Soap Color Combo Pack is a set of five non-toxic powder colours — matte violet, brown, orange, matte maroon and pink — made in India for colouring handmade soap and other craft projects. Each shade comes in a 15 gm pack, blends smoothly into your soap base, and gives an even, professional finish that is safe for skin when used at normal soap-making dosages.
What you get in the pack
This is a coordinated palette rather than five random tones. The matte violet and matte maroon give soft, earthy results; the pink is bright and cheerful; the orange is warm; and the brown is handy for wood, coffee or chocolate-themed bars. Together they cover a lot of ground for a beginner starter kit at ₹539, and you have enough of each to experiment across several batches.
- Form: fine powder pigment
- Shades: matte violet, brown, orange, matte maroon, pink
- Quantity: 15 gm per colour, 5 colours
- Made in: India
- Shelf life: 2 years, stored cool and dry
What you can use it for
These powders are marketed as multipurpose colourants, so a single pack works across many hobbies:
- Cold process and melt-and-pour soap: the main use, for solid single tones or swirls.
- Bath bombs and cosmetic bars: small amounts give a gentle tint.
- Resin jewellery and art: a pinch adds opaque colour to castings.
- Arts, crafts and nail art: for accents, layering and detail work.
How to add colour to soap
Powder pigments dissolve better if you disperse them first instead of dumping them into the batch. A little preparation avoids streaks and specks.
- Pre-mix: take about 1 teaspoon of colour and blend it with 1 tablespoon of a light carrier oil (or glycerine for melt-and-pour) until smooth and lump-free.
- Start small: add the dispersed colour to your soap batter or melted base a little at a time. You can always add more.
- Blend well: stir or use a stick blender in short bursts so the pigment spreads evenly.
- Check the shade: soap often lightens as it cures, so aim slightly deeper than your target.
As a rough guide, roughly a quarter to half a teaspoon of powder per 500 gm of soap gives a noticeable colour, but always test on a small batch first because bases behave differently.
Tips for clean, even colour
- Sift or crush any clumps before mixing so you don't get dark flecks.
- For swirls, colour separate portions of batter and pour at light trace.
- Keep a notebook of how much you used per batch so you can repeat a shade.
- Matte tones (violet and maroon) read softer than glossy dyes — layer them for depth.
- Work on a wiped surface; fine powders travel and can stain grout or cloth.
Safety and honest notes
These colours are described as non-toxic and skin-safe for soap and cosmetic use, but they are colourants, not food or medicine. A few sensible habits:
- Do not eat them and keep the packs away from children and pets.
- Avoid breathing in the loose powder — mix in a well-ventilated spot.
- If you have sensitive skin, patch-test a finished, cured bar before regular use.
- Use cosmetic-grade dosages; overloading colour can lead to bars that stain skin or washcloths.
- Wear gloves if you dislike stained fingertips, especially with the darker shades.
Buying and storage
Buy powder colours in a combo like this when you are starting out or want a matched palette rather than one big jar of a single tone. Store each pack tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, which keeps the pigment free-flowing for its stated two-year shelf life. Azlok lists this set among its candle- and soap-making supplies, so you can pair it with bases, moulds and fragrance oils in a single order.
FAQ
Are these soap colours safe for skin?
They are made from non-toxic ingredients intended for soap and cosmetic use, so they are suitable for handcrafted bars at normal dosages. As with any new product, patch-test a cured bar first if your skin is sensitive.
How much colour should I use per batch?
Start with roughly a quarter to half a teaspoon of pre-dispersed powder per 500 gm of soap, then adjust. Add gradually — it is easier to deepen a colour than to lighten it.
Can I mix the shades to make new colours?
Yes. Blending pink and violet, or orange and brown, lets you extend the five-colour palette. Note your ratios so you can reproduce a shade later.
Will the colour work in melt-and-pour and cold process soap?
Both. Disperse the powder in a little glycerine for melt-and-pour or in a light oil for cold process, then stir it evenly into the base.
Can I use it beyond soap making?
Yes — the pack is multipurpose and works for resin jewellery, nail art, and general arts and crafts, using small amounts at a time.
