Non Bleeding.
To use titanium dioxide in cold process soap, we recommend dispersing it in a lightweight liquid oil or water at a rate of 1 tsp. colorant to 1 Tbsp. oil/ water. Because titanium dioxide is a fairly large pigment, use a mini mixer to help work out any clumps. Because our titanium dioxide is both water and oil soluble, you can also disperse it in distilled water
Start out at 1/16th to 1/8th teaspoon per 500g for melt & pour soaps. For cold process, add 1 teaspoon of oxide per 1kg of soap base.
It is also used to turn your fondant icing, modelling paste, flower paste, white chocolate, etc to a brilliant shade of white.
Titanium dioxide is a whitening agent in powder form that is tasteless.
