RANDOM
1. What is the color made of? Will I be able to get it out of my clothes? Our color is made with 100% food-grade cornstarch, baking soda, and FD&C approved food and cosmetic dyes. Color Blaze is completely safe and non-toxic which is why we are trusted and favored by millions. Our color powder easily washes out of most fabrics, skin and hair using only soap and water, but we still recommend leaving those fancy shoes and clothes at home.
