CI 61570

Description

CI 61570, also known as Green 5 or Acid Green 25, is a synthetic green dye commonly used in cosmetic and personal care products. This water-soluble colorant belongs to the triarylmethane class of dyes and is characterized by its vibrant green hue. CI 61570 is approved for use in various cosmetic applications, including hair dyes, skincare products, and color cosmetics.

The dye's molecular structure allows it to provide consistent and stable coloration in a wide range of formulations. It is particularly valued for its ability to maintain its color integrity in products with varying pH levels. CI 61570 is often used in combination with other colorants to achieve specific shades and tones in cosmetic products.

While generally considered safe for topical use, some individuals may experience sensitivity or allergic reactions to this dye. As with any cosmetic ingredient, patch testing is recommended for those with sensitive skin or a history of allergic reactions. It's important to note that CI 61570 is not approved for use in products applied near the eyes in some jurisdictions, including the European Union. Formulators must adhere to regional regulations and concentration limits when incorporating this colorant into their products.
