Manufacturing colours for cosmetics

Some of the major challenges while catering to colour requirements of cosmetic industry consumers is following the safety standards. There are several safety standards for the usage of colourants in cosmetics and personal care products which vary from country to country.

Experienced cosmetic colours manufacturers are well-versed with the latest regulatory guidelines and safety standards. These experienced manufacturers can provide sound advice to brands seeking safety-compliant colourants as per the intended use and target market of their cosmetic products. For example, chromium dioxides are used for a number of cosmetic products with shades such as bright green. However, there is a prohibition for the using chromium dioxide and ultramarine colourants for lip products in the USA.

To prevent cosmetics from causing harm to sensitive skin areas such as eyes, lip, nail, etc., regulatory organisations globally have set limitations in colour formulations. Harmful metals are not to be used or are to be used in prescribed quantities for colour formulation. Only the compliance-aware experts from ethical companies will be able to understand and implement these guidelines correctly for manufacturing colourants.
