BIS-HYDROXYETHYL/PPG-7/PEG-4 DICYANOMETHYLTHIOPHENE AZOTOLUIDINE

Description

BIS-HYDROXYETHYL/PPG-7/PEG-4 DICYANOMETHYLTHIOPHENE AZOTOLUIDINE is a synthetic colorant used in various cosmetic and personal care products. This complex compound belongs to the azo dye family and is known for its ability to impart a vibrant blue hue to formulations. The ingredient's structure allows for excellent stability in a wide range of pH levels and compatibility with numerous cosmetic bases.

In skincare and cosmetic applications, this colorant is primarily utilized in decorative products such as eyeshadows, lipsticks, and nail polishes. Its molecular composition enables it to disperse evenly in both oil and water-based formulations, ensuring consistent color payoff. The presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polypropylene glycol (PPG) components in its structure contributes to its solubility and helps maintain product texture.

Safety assessments have shown that BIS-HYDROXYETHYL/PPG-7/PEG-4 DICYANOMETHYLTHIOPHENE AZOTOLUIDINE has a low risk of skin irritation when used at appropriate concentrations in cosmetic formulations. However, as with all synthetic colorants, patch testing is recommended for individuals with sensitive skin or a history of allergic reactions to cosmetic ingredients. This colorant is subject to regulatory approvals and usage limitations set by cosmetic governing bodies in different regions.
