← Back to What can you use instead of alcohol inks in resin?


Many resin artists look for safe and odourless ways to add vibrant colour to their creations, especially if sensitive to strong smells or seeking non-toxic alternatives to alcohol inks. Fortunately, there are reliable options purpose-made for this challenge.
Pigment Pastes: Intense Colour Without Odour
Pigment pastes such as the Colourfun Set offer high-strength colour for resin art, jewellery and casting projects. These creamy colourants are free from harsh fumes, making them especially suitable for indoor use. With just a few drops, you can achieve anything from subtle transparent effects to bold, opaque shades—ideal for river tables, sea-inspired artworks or unique coasters. Pastes mix evenly to prevent streaks, ensuring professional, smooth finishes.


Cell Additives: Creative Effects Without Alcohol
For those seeking special effects like cells or lacing in their resin art, cell additives such as Magic Drops present a safe, odourless solution. Simply add a few drops to your coloured resin to stimulate organic patterns and movement. Compatible with both pigment pastes and metallic powders, they enable a variety of looks without relying on alcohol-based products.
When Safe, Odourless Colouring Matters
- Working in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces
- Sharing studio space with others sensitive to strong scents
- Seeking a non-toxic environment for creative hobbies
