Colors for Perfume

Based on your requirements for a color that does not stain skin, is water and alcohol soluble, UV resistant, and fade resistant for use in perfume, we have found several options that meet some of these criteria.

The EasyWash™ range of colors appears to be the most suitable based on the available information. These colors are described as not staining the surface (easy to wash) and resistant to fading. They are also water-soluble.

However, the product descriptions specifically mention use in water-containing products and mixing in the water phase. The descriptions do not explicitly confirm solubility in alcohol, which is a primary component of perfumes.

The EasyWash™ colors found include:

• Black Color EasyWash™
• Caramel Color EasyWash™
• D&C Green No.5 (CI 61570) EasyWash™
• D&C Orange No.4 (CI 15510) EasyWash™
• D&C Red No.28 Phloxine (CI45410) EasyWash™
• D&C Red No.33 (CI17200) EasyWash™
• FD&C Red No.4 (CI 14700) EasyWash™
• FD&C Yellow No.6 (CI15985) EasyWash™
• Ponceau 4R (CI16255) EasyWash™

Other colors found, such as Acid Orange 7 (Direct Dyes) and Acid Yellow 3 (Direct Dyes), have very limited descriptions that do not provide enough information to confirm if they meet your requirements.

Therefore, while the EasyWash™ colors meet the non-staining and fade-resistant criteria and are water-soluble, you would need to verify their solubility and performance in an alcohol-based perfume formulation through testing.
