Violet oil soluble powder color (15 g)

D&C Violet 2 (also known as Acid Violet 43, or CI 60725) is a synthetic, oil-soluble colorant primarily used in cosmetics, personal care products, and sometimes in pharmaceuticals. It is known for its vibrant purple hue. Below is a more detailed description:

D&C Violet 2 (CI 60725) Full Description:

• Chemical Structure: is a synthetic organic dye, and its molecular formula is C19H14N2O2. It is classified as an azo dye, which means it has a nitrogen-based azo group (-N=N-) in its structure.
• Appearance: It typically appears as a dark violet to purple powder, which is oil-soluble, meaning it is typically used in formulations containing oils or emollients rather than in water-based systems.
• Solubility: It is oil-soluble and is used in formulations like lotions, creams, lipsticks, and other products that have an oily or waxy base.
• Stability: It is stable under normal storage conditions but may be affected by extreme heat, light, or pH changes. It is important to ensure proper storage to maintain its stability in products.

Usage Rate:

The usage rate will depend on the specific formulation, the desired color intensity, and the regulatory limits for different product types. However, the typical recommended usage rate is:

• Cosmetic products (such as skin care or hair care products): Generally, is used at a concentration of 0.1% to 0.5%. For some products, the concentration may go higher, but this must be verified according to regulatory guidelines and product requirements.
• Lip products (such as lipstick or lip gloss): In lip products, may be used in the range of 0.1% to 1%. The concentration should stay within limits defined by authorities such as the FDA to ensure safety.

Regulatory Information:

• FDA Regulations: is approved for use in certain cosmetic applications by the FDA, primarily in products that are intended for external use. However, it's restricted from use in products that are intended for use around the eyes (such as eye shadows or eyeliners).
• Other Regulatory Bodies: Usage is also regulated by other authorities such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or other local cosmetic regulatory bodies, with limits on the concentration and type of products.

Precautions and Considerations:

• As with any synthetic colorant, the concentration should not exceed the recommended usage rates set by the regulatory agencies.
• Consumers or formulators should be cautious about using this colorant in products designed for the eyes or sensitive skin unless explicitly allowed by the respective regulatory agencies.

Common Applications:

• Cosmetic Use: Commonly used in formulations like lipsticks, lip glosses, blushes, and other colored products that are oil-based or have a thicker consistency.
• Personal Care Products: It may be found in lotions, creams, and some types of hair care products, though the concentration will typically be low.

Always consult local regulations and guidelines (e.g., FDA, European Commission) for specific limitations and recommendations for use
