Thanks for the information. What color does it go on normaly?

Also when I search the web I get no information on lac. Can you give
me a web address?

: : What is Lac and resin? When you put these on do the look like
paint
: on your skin, or does it look like a stain.

: : Also, where can I find some of this stuff on the web?

: Lac is a dye from the insect called Cocous Lacca. Yes it does stain
: and I use it in my paste for a redder color. However, Lac is a
large
: molecule and it first needs to be in a high Ph to reduce the
molecule
: for being able to actually hold a stain on skin.I have found that
: using ammonia to make an extract works for a burgandy color. But
for
: my skin, I put the powder of Lac in the concentrated lemmon juice
you
: can find in the grocery store .
: I found alot of info on the natural dyes section on the web. A man
: called Mohan Gulrajani specializes in Lac , however , it can be
bought
: in the US from dye companies.Mohan is in India, and runs a very
very
: excellent business and is very helpful. His business is called Alps
: Industries check it out.
