Pandalab Forest Green Oil-Based Food Coloring for Chocolate & Buttercream — 80ml vivid, heat-resistant edible dye

Pandalab Forest Green oil-based food coloring is a fat-soluble edible dye formulated to color chocolate, candy melts, buttercreams, ganache, and other oil- or fat-based confections without seizing or thinning.

Designed for pastry chefs, home bakers, and candy makers, this 80 milliliter (2.7 fl oz) bottle delivers a vivid forest green hue that resists fading when exposed to heat or freezing. Because it’s oil-based, the dye blends smoothly into chocolate, cocoa butter, and similarly fatty ingredients where water-based colors would fail. The formula is vegan, non-GMO, free from many common allergens, and made from FDA-acceptable raw materials to meet common U.S. food safety expectations.

How do I use this oil-based color with chocolate and candy melts?

Use small amounts and stir thoroughly into melted chocolate or candy base to reach your desired shade. Start with a few drops, mix, and add more gradually; oil dyes are concentrated so a little goes a long way.

• Add drops directly into fully melted chocolate or candy melts and stir until uniform.
• For darker tones, add incrementally and allow color to develop for a minute after stirring.
• If tempering chocolate, add color after reaching the working temperature to preserve temper.

Will this color work in buttercream, fondant, and ganache?

Yes — the oil formulation pairs well with butter-based frostings and fat-containing fillings. It won’t break down buttercream or cause separation the way water-based color can.

• Blend into room-temperature buttercream for smooth, even coloration.
• In ganache, fold color in after emulsification for predictable results.
• Not recommended for water-based icings, drinks, or gelatin applications.

Does this product have allergen or dietary considerations?

This dye is free from gluten, nuts, dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, and added sugars, but it contains soy. It’s formulated to be vegan-friendly and non-GMO, and is intended not to change flavor or texture when used as directed.

• Contains soy — check labels if serving to individuals with soy allergies.
• Free from many common allergens and suitable for vegan recipes.
• Does not include added sugar or dairy that could alter recipe chemistry.

How should I store and handle this oil-based food dye?

Keep the bottle capped and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shake well before each use to ensure pigments are evenly suspended and check the cap for residue after dispensing to avoid staining surfaces.

• Store upright at room temperature; avoid freezing and heat extremes.
• Shake vigorously before use to re-suspend pigments.
• Clean nozzle after use to prevent clogging and accidental stains.

Who this is for: Pandalab’s Forest Green oil-based edible coloring is intended for professional bakers, chocolatiers, confectioners, and enthusiastic home bakers who need a reliable, concentrated green that integrates cleanly into fat- or oil-centered recipes. It’s ideal when working with chocolate, candy melts, buttercream, ganache, fondant, macarons, and other non-water systems where vivid, stable color is required. If you need a water-soluble food dye for beverages, jams, or gelled desserts, choose a water-based alternative instead.
