Bright Red Pigments for Lip Products

For a bright red color that is not purple or pink toned and can be dispersed in lip products, we recommend the following:

• D&C Red No.7 Lake: This is an organic pigment that provides a deep red color. It is suitable for use in makeup products such as lipstick, nail polish, and lip gloss. It is a powder type that can be dispersed in oil, making it ideal for lip formulations. The recommended usage rate for lipstick is 3% to achieve the desired color intensity.

• D&C Red No.7 Ca Lake (india): Similar to D&C Red No.7 Lake, this is also an organic pigment that offers a dark red color. It is suitable for various makeup products, including lipsticks. This pigment is also a powder type that can be dispersed in oil. For optimal results, it may require grinding before use. The recommended usage rate for lipstick is 3%.

Both of these pigments are excellent choices for achieving a vibrant red in your lip formulations without leaning towards purple or pink undertones, and they are designed for easy dispersion in oil-based products like lipsticks.
