About

A synthetic perylene tetracarboxdiimide pigment used in color cosmetics, with moderate concern due to large molecular size and limited dermal absorption data.

Bis-Diisopropylphenyl tetraphenoxyperylene tetracarboxdiimide is a synthetic perylene-based organic pigment (Pigment Red 179 category) used in industrial and cosmetic colorants. It carries a pubchem_safety_score of 50, reflecting moderate concern driven primarily by limited topical exposure data rather than identified toxicity. It is not subject to EU cosmetic restrictions and is used in color cosmetics (lipstick, eye makeup) where incidental skin contact occurs. Larger pigment molecules typically show minimal dermal penetration.

  • Provides vibrant red/colorant function in decorative cosmetics

Known concerns

  • Limited long-term topical sensitization data
  • Pigment application — not for use in leave-on skin products
