CI 75470

CI 75470 is a natural colorant derived from carmine, a red pigment extracted from the cochineal insect. It is used in cosmetic formulations primarily to add colour and improve the visual appearance of skincare products.In skincare products, CI 75470 serves a cosmetic function rather than a therapeutic one. Its role is to create or maintain the desired colour of a product, contributing to the overall aesthetic appeal and consumer experience. It is found in a small proportion of skincare formulations across various product categories.

CI 75470 functions as an inert cosmetic colorant. Once incorporated into a formulation, it disperses throughout the product and provides colour. It does not chemically interact with the skin or other ingredients in a way that produces therapeutic effects.The pigment remains stable in the product matrix and is present in such small concentrations that it does not contribute meaningfully to the product's functional performance beyond aesthetics.

CI 75470 requires no special usage guidance on the consumer side, as it is an inert ingredient incorporated during manufacturing. Its presence does not affect how a product should be applied or how often it should be used. The colour may vary slightly between batches due to natural variation in the source material; this does not indicate a change in product efficacy.

CI 75470 is generally well-tolerated and approved for cosmetic use. Those with a known sensitivity to carmine or cochineal-derived ingredients should avoid products containing this colorant.
