What is it?
Red 6 (CI 15850) and Red 28 Lake (CI 45410) are cosmetic colorants used to provide shades of red, pink, and coral in beauty formulations. They are used in lip, cheek, and complexion products to create vibrant, consistent color. These pigments are carefully formulated to deliver even color and blend seamlessly into cosmetic products, contributing to a natural-looking finish.
Where does it come from?
Red 6 and Red 28 are synthetically produced colorants that are manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure purity, consistency, and safety for cosmetic use.
Red 6 (CI 15850) is an organic pigment commonly used to create warm red tones.
Red 28 Lake (CI 45410) is a colorant often combined with an insoluble substrate (such as aluminum salts) to create a stable, oil-dispersible pigment suitable for cosmetic formulations.
Within our approach to clean beauty, ingredients are chosen based on their safety, skin compatibility, and functional benefits, rather than solely on whether they are naturally derived. All ingredients used in our formulations comply with the strictest safety standards, including the EU Cosmetic Regulation, ensuring they are safe for their intended use.
