Used to make red
I haven't used this dye on its own, but I mixed it with the Red liquid dye to get a truer red, since that dye errs on the pink side.
Usage: 1oz colors 100 lbs soy or 200 lbs paraffin to a medium shade. 4oz colors 400 lbs soy or 800 lbs paraffin to a medium shade.
Fragrance Oil Recommendations: Peach Nectar, Blood Orange, Orange Blossom, Orange and Goji Berry
Deep, rich colors are difficult in soy. They require 2-3 times the dye that paraffin requires, sometimes more. Note that standard dye amounts create a washed-out, pastel color in soy. We suggest making a test swatch to figure out the dye amount you will need to get the color you'd like.
Due to the extreme concentration of our liquid dyes there is a noticeable odor that will not be detectable at normal usages in finished candles.
Product Update: We are converting our glass liquid dye containers to plastic containers for easier shipping.

As you can see through the pictures, this is really more of a brown-orange, and through my testing required a higher concentration (compared to other candlescience dyes) per lb of wax to get a darker color. I really wish they had a true, brighter orange color!!
Nice color when done and goes so well with my scents I use!
I use this with crystal and feather palm when making pillars and it is a wonderful earthy color. I use 5 drops per pound and get a deep orange color.
