Description
This natural red colorant derived from cochineal insects provides vibrant red and pink hues to cosmetic products while also contributing subtle fragrance properties. It's commonly used in lipsticks, blushes, and other makeup products where rich, long-lasting color is desired. However, it carries moderate safety concerns and may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, particularly those with insect-related allergies.
