Pandalab Purple Oil-Based Food Coloring for Chocolate & Buttercream — 80 mL, Concentrated Vivid Color

Pandalab Purple Oil-Based Food Coloring is a concentrated, edible oil dye made to color chocolate, candy melts, butter-based icings, and other fat-containing confections without seizing or fading.

This professional-grade purple food color comes in an 80 milliliter (2.7 fl. oz) bottle formulated specifically for oil- and fat-based applications. Unlike water-soluble dyes, oil-based coloring disperses smoothly into melted chocolate, ganache, candy melts, and buttercream, delivering vivid, stable color through heating and cooling cycles. The formula meets U.S. safety standards and is free from many common allergens, making it a versatile option for bakers, chocolatiers, and cake decorators who need reliable purple tones that won’t change texture or taste.

How will this oil-based purple dye perform with chocolate and candy melts?

Pandalab’s oil-based purple is designed to blend seamlessly into cocoa butter and other fat-rich bases, preventing the grainy, seized results that water-based dyes can cause. It maintains color intensity during tempering, molding, and cooling.

• Works with white/compound chocolate, couverture, and candy melts
• Does not curdle or thicken melted chocolate when properly incorporated
• Color remains stable through heating and refrigeration
• Shake well before use for best dispersion

Can I use this purple coloring in buttercream, ganache, and fondant?

Yes—this dye dissolves into fat-based icings and fillings to produce bright, consistent purple shades without affecting texture. It’s intended for recipes that contain butter, oil, or other fats rather than water-based batters or beverages.

• Add a few drops at a time to reach desired shade
• Works well in buttercream, ganache, meringue with fat, and fondant
• Not suitable for water-based frostings, drinks, or batters
• Vegan-friendly and non-GMO, with no added sugar

Is this color safe for people with food sensitivities and allergens?

Pandalab’s oil-based purple coloring is manufactured to meet approved MSDS materials and U.S. food safety standards. It is free from many common allergens, but contains soy; review labels if soy is a concern.

• Free from gluten, nuts, peanuts, dairy, eggs, fish, and shellfish
• Vegan-friendly and non-GMO
• Contains soy—check before serving to soy-allergic guests
• Formulated to avoid altering taste, texture, or consistency

How do I get the best results and shade control with this purple dye?

Because the dye is concentrated, little goes a long way. Start with a few drops and build gradually; warm fat helps faster dispersion. Always shake the bottle well before measuring.

• Begin with 1–2 drops and mix, then increase as needed
• Mix into warm melted chocolate or softened butter for quicker color uptake
• Use gel or paste techniques with caution—this is an oil-based liquid dye
• Store tightly capped away from heat and direct sunlight

This 80 ml bottle is sized for both occasional home bakers and small professional kitchens, giving enough product for multiple projects without excess waste. Pandalab includes customer support if you have questions about usage or shade matching.

Who is this for? Bakers, cake decorators, chocolatiers, candy makers, and food artists who need a dependable purple coloring that’s optimized for fat-based confections. If you regularly color chocolate, ganache, candy melts, buttercream, or fondant and require vivid, stable results without changing flavor or texture, this product is a practical choice. Avoid using it in water-based drinks or batters; choose a water-soluble dye for those applications.
