Hi guys. A friend told me of a place in Dallas called Bath Junkie. Somewhat of the same concept as UB (but not as cool of course)they color their products. Has anyone wondered about this in the past or have any ideas or is it even doable.
I was thinking it would be fun for the tween party but not as an all time offer.
They use water based cosmetic colorants (F,D &C) what about good old food coloring?
McKenna?

I asked McKenna about this once. She told me that the thought had crossed her mind but it is just too messy and too complicated to do at home parties with any degree of success. (If I remember right, there was also the issue of quality of colorant and keeping it irritant free and cost effective as well)

Food coloring would color the product, but it would also color the skin and any clothing or table cloth or furniture it came in conact with. Think about when you color Easter eggs?

Thanks Sandra for the feedback. It's been so long since I colored easter eggs as a kid that I don't remember that part :)

Food colors will fade.
