Pigment colours are one of the growth-enablers for the cosmetic industry. To sustain competition, colour cosmetic manufacturers have to innovate and find colours that can set new trends. Be it ultramarine blue or Quinizarine Green, a spectrum of colours is needed for the intended sales and marketing purposes. However, regulatory adherence cannot be overlooked in the rush for producing innovative colours. There are laws and regulatory standards to be followed for using pigment colours in color cosmetics. These stringent cosmetics regulations enable companies to offer safe-to-use cosmetics to customers while staying away from legal hassles.
What’s important in the manufacturing of colour cosmetics?
Following aspects are to be considered during the formulation of the right colourants for cosmetic products by cosmetic colour manufacturers:
Of the given three aspects, international compliance is key when it comes to selling products. If a formulation is stable and well-performing but not compliant with the laws of the country it is intended for, the formulation is a failure. For example, Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009/EU has to be followed if the formulation is to be created for a hair colourant to be sold in the European Union.

Safety of the end-user is equally important for responsible colour manufacturers.

Cosmetic products for Canada have to be developed in line with the Food and Drugs Act along with the cosmetics regulations.
