CI 47000

Description

CI 47000, also known as Quinoline Yellow, is a synthetic organic compound used as a colorant in various cosmetic and personal care products. This water-soluble dye imparts a bright yellow hue to formulations, making it a popular choice for enhancing the visual appeal of skincare, haircare, and makeup items.

In cosmetic applications, CI 47000 is primarily utilized in products such as lotions, creams, shampoos, and color cosmetics. Its stability in a wide pH range and compatibility with most cosmetic ingredients make it versatile for different formulations. The dye is approved for use in the European Union and many other countries, though restrictions may apply depending on the specific product type and intended use.

While generally considered safe for topical application, some individuals may experience sensitivity or allergic reactions to CI 47000. As with any colorant, patch testing is recommended before widespread use. Formulators should be aware of regulatory limits and guidelines when incorporating this ingredient into their products. CI 47000 is often used in combination with other colorants to achieve specific shades and effects in cosmetic formulations.
