Cosmetic Colors Soluble in Perfume/Alcohol

Finding cosmetic colorants that are truly soluble in pure alcohol or perfume bases without precipitation can be challenging, as many are designed for aqueous or oil phases. Based on the available information, we have identified some potential colorants, but their suitability for your specific perfume/alcohol base requires testing.

Potential colorants found include:

• Acid Orange 7 (Direct Dyes)
• Acid Yellow 3 (Direct Dyes)
• SI-2 Red R-516L
• SI-2 Yellow LLXLO
• SI-2 BLACK BL-100

Direct dyes like Acid Orange 7 and Acid Yellow 3 are typically water-soluble, but some may have limited solubility in alcohol. The SI-2 series are treated colorants from Daito Kasei. The descriptions do not explicitly confirm their solubility and non-precipitation in pure alcohol/perfume.

Recommendation:

It is highly recommended to perform small-scale testing with your specific perfume or alcohol base and the chosen colorant to ensure it dissolves completely and remains stable over time without precipitating. Different perfume formulations and alcohol concentrations can affect solubility.

Please test thoroughly before using in your final product.
