Question 1

i want to use these to color water for water play games for my toddler. do the colors dissolve in water and show up? what is the verdict on skin stain

Accepted Answer

I still had some red left and decided to try this out for you. I used 5 drops to a full glass of water and it dissolved very well. The color looked obvious that it was red, which was a nice surprise seeing as how it's useless in cake icing. I stirred it around for a minute or two and didn't stain my fingers, also dripping clear in color. So I would say it would be a good investment for water play.

Question 2

Hi, I wanted to DIY edible paint for my daughter to play with. Would like to know if the color can be easily washed off with water after play?

Accepted Answer

Hi there! We make fingerpaints with these colors and plain yogurt with great results. We mix them in an icetray and I noticed the yellow sticks around a bit, but havent noticed any stains other than the yellow on the icetray. Hope that helps.

Question 3

Can I use this to color my handmade soap?

Accepted Answer

I haven't tried it for that but it did leave some slight staining on my counter when I made frosting so I'm not sure that's the best use.

Question 4

Are they gluten free?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't say so on the package but I have a gluten intolerance and I had no problem after tasting the frosting with the colors. There are about 3 ingredients in each color - glycerin, water and the colorant which is vegetable based so I was ok with that. If you have a severe gluten allergy (not an intolerance like I have), I would contact the manufacturer to be 100% sure that their equipment is not contaminated with traces. Otherwise, you shouldn't have a problem. I hope this helps :)
