About

A green pyrene-based colorant used in cosmetics — restricted in the EU, especially banned as a hair dye ingredient.

CI 59040 (Solvent Green 7) is a pyrene-class synthetic colorant permitted under EU Annex IV/87 for general cosmetic use but explicitly banned under Annex II/1362 when used as a substance in hair dye products. Its use is limited to specific product categories and concentrations. The dual regulatory classification reflects concerns about mutagenic potential in hair dye applications where prolonged scalp contact occurs.
