Colors that are subject to batch certification must be purchased from the manufacturer if you are planning to use them formanufacturing or resale products. All our Lakes are purchased from FDA approved manufacturers with a batch certification. Once the package is opened and repacked this batch# is no longer valid and the color may not be used for manufactured products marketed in the US. For DIY purposes for yourself, friends and family they may be used for the purposes they are approved for.

A lake is a straight color extended on a substratum by adsorption, coprecipitation, or chemical combination that does not include any combination of ingredients made by a simple mixing process [21 CFR 70.3(l)]. Because lakes are not soluble in water, they often are used when it is important to keep a color from "bleeding," as in lipstick. In some cases, special restrictions apply to their use. As with any color additive, it is important to check the Summary of Color Additives Listed for Use in the United States in Foods, Drugs, Cosmetics and Medical Devices and the regulations themselves [21 CFR 82, Subparts B and C] to be sure you are using lakes only for their approved uses.

Our Samples are 1 rounded teaspoon. They weigh about 3 grams depending on the density of the Powder
