Abstract: A liquid concentrate is disclosed, having a bio-derived oil carrier; at least one colorant or functional additive; and optionally surfactant, viscosity modifier, and other functional additives or specialty colorants. The colorant can be one or more pigments, one or more dyes, or combinations thereof. The functional additive can be a performance additive or a processing additive. The bio-derived oil is compatible with a variety of bio-derived polymeric resins, especially polylactic acid and polyhydroxyalkanoates.
