19 products
Confectionery is where color matters most to consumers. We help brands replace artificial dyes with vivid natural shades across gummies, jellies and coated sweets.
Formulation Challenges
- Hard candy cooking above 140°C
- Rainbow assortments need consistent shades
- Blue and green are hardest to source naturally
Our Recommendations
- Spirulina Blue for panned candies and gummies
- Anthocyanin and beetroot for reds and pinks
- Curcumin and gardenia for yellows
