Description
A synthetic colorant that provides red pigmentation to cosmetic products like lipsticks, blushes, and nail polishes. Lake pigments are created by binding water-soluble dyes to metal salts, making them stable and long-lasting in formulations. While generally considered safe for topical use, some individuals may experience sensitivity or allergic reactions to synthetic colorants.
