What it helps you decide
Dose mica, oxides, and liquid dyes against a supplier maximum.
Color formulation
Dose color by batch percentage—with the supplier ceiling visible.
Calculate product and active-pigment mass for mica, oxides, liquid dyes, resin pigments, candle color, soap, and cosmetic batches.

Your numbers
Batch and colorant specification
Use the filled example first. Then replace each field with a measured value or your best current estimate.
Step 1Answer one question at a time. Your example values stay available.
Important limit
A usage percentage is not a safety approval.
Use only a colorant approved by its supplier and applicable regulator for the exact product, exposure, body area, and market. Confirm restrictions, dispersion method, cure or burn behavior, staining, migration, allergen and heavy-metal specifications, and the supplier maximum.

How to use the Dye, Pigment & Batch Color Percent
Dose mica, oxides, and liquid dyes against a supplier maximum. The calculator runs privately in your browser and is designed to make the assumptions behind the answer visible.
What to have ready
Measure the real mold, vessel, fabric, or batch; then use the exact supplier ratio, density, usage ceiling, cure instructions, and expected waste.
Key inputs: Application; Color base batch weight; Colorant product usage rate; Active pigment concentration; Supplier maximum usage rate.
How to use the result
Use the estimate to prepare a controlled test quantity. Confirm fit, cure, burn, color, strength, or cut yield before committing a full production run.
Complete workflow guide
Candle, soap, and cosmetic formulation
A calculator can check the math. A reliable product also needs clear supplier information, a repeatable process, testing in the final package, and the right label for what the product is and what you claim it does.
