FD&C and D&C dyes and lakes, and some natural colors, are used for
coloring Cosmetics, mostly for the purpose of
enhancing
one’s appearance or
beautification. The products in this range include those products referred to as
“make-up”, as well as
lipsticks, fingernail polish, eye and facial products. These
product forms
are also
lotions, suspensions, emulsions, gels or powders.
Perfumes
are formulated with
fragrances, often complex and traditionally proprietary. Some of our
Essential Oils
may meet some of the more straightforward product requirements. As you can imagine the type of
color system
to be used must not only provide the
exact
and
correct shade
and
intensity
consistently, but it
must
meet the often
complex formulation requirements
and
function
as well as remain
stable
for the
shelf life
of any personal care or cosmetic product.
- The ingredient systems used in this range are primarily for coloration or fragrance.
Personal Care
products are those products which are applied to the human body for the purpose of
cleansing or beautifying.
These products are often colored with
synthetic
or
natural colors, to improve their
consumer appeal
or to provide some level of
product differentiation.
FD&C colors, D&C colors and natural colors, in the form of water soluble dyes or insoluble lakes may be used safely in order to provide any shade desired, from subtle, light or pastel, to intensely colored for some specific effect or additional appeal. These products can be lotions, suspensions, creams, emulsions, gels, powders or simple solutions.
Gums and Hydrocolloids are used in order to provide the perfect texture, uniformity, viscosity, and consistency.
