Pandalab Oil-Based Food Coloring Set — Pink, Tiffany, Blue, Purple, 0.67 fl oz Bottles for Chocolate & Confections

This oil-based coloring set from Pandalab comes in 0.67 fl. oz bottles and is specifically engineered to blend into butter, cocoa butter, chocolate, and other fat-based ingredients. Unlike water-based dyes, these oil-soluble pigments mix smoothly into melts and frostings, keeping colors bright through heating and refrigeration. The formula is free of common allergens such as gluten and nuts, though it contains soy—suitable for many bakers and decorators looking to add dependable color to confections.

How does this dye perform when mixed into chocolate and candy melts?

Because the Pandalab colors are oil-soluble, they incorporate evenly into cocoa butter and other fats without seizing or thinning chocolate. Colors remain bold after tempering, molding, or cooling, and they withstand minor reheating cycles better than water-based alternatives.

• Formulated for fat-based systems like chocolate and candy melts
• No fading after heating or freezing when used correctly
• Shake well before use to ensure consistent pigment distribution

Can I use these colors in buttercream, fondant, and meringues?

Yes — they are designed for mixes that contain fat or oil. They work well in buttercream, ganache, and fondant and can tint macaron shells or butter-based icings without altering texture or sweetness. Avoid adding them to water-based batters or beverages, as oil-based dyes will not disperse.

• Ideal for buttercream, ganache, and fondant applications
• Not suitable for water or beverage coloring
• Won’t change the taste, texture, or consistency of finished goods

Are these colorings safe and allergy-conscious for bakery use?

Pandalab’s oil-based colors meet recognized safety standards and are made from approved materials according to MSDS guidance. The product is free from many common allergens (gluten, nuts, dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish) and is vegan and non-GMO, but it does contain soy—check labels if soy is a concern.

• Manufactured from approved MSDS materials and compliant with US food standards
• Vegan-friendly and non-GMO
• Allergen note: contains soy; free from many other common allergens

How should I store and handle these oil-based dyes for best results?

Store bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Before each use, shake vigorously to remix pigments; add sparingly and adjust gradually because oil dyes are concentrated. Clean utensils promptly to avoid cross-contamination with water-based products.

• Keep in a cool, dark cupboard for longest shelf life
• Shake bottles well before dispensing—colors are concentrated
• Start with small amounts and build hue to avoid overcoloring
